I wasn't aware of that. Pretty sad if it that is the case.

UPDATE

BA is understood to have admitted sex discrimination in Mr Fischer's case and agreed to pay £2,161 in costs and £750 in damages.

Mr Fischer donated the damages payout and £2,250 of his own money to the child protection charities Kidscape and Orphans in the Wild after learning of the decision.

I understand the reason for the rule. Heck, I hate kids, and I would gladly move to a different seat on a plane to be away from the little brats.

But I would never stand for being told I was being re-seated because I was seated next to an unfamiliar child, and I would be extremely offended if airline staff ejected me for non-compliance.

It is absolutely deplorable, despicable, and unacceptable to me that innocent men be treated like potential criminals. It is absolutely unwarranted.

You cannot treat someone like a criminal because the potential exists for that person to commit a crime (except in the cases of conspiracy-to-commit X). Authoritative response must always be reactive, and never proactive.
