British Airways changes 'discriminatory' seating policy for men

Article here. Excerpt:
'British Airways has changed its seating policy after a businessman complained of being treated like a "child molester" when sitting next to a boy he did not know.
The airline has confirmed to The Sunday Telegraph it has altered its procedures to protect unaccompanied minors – the aviation industry term for children flying without a parent or guardian.
It follows the case of Mirko Fischer, a hedge fund manager who was told to move seats by cabin crew under an internal rule that prevented adult males sitting next to unaccompanied children.'

It was a stupid policy and needed to be thrown out. I hope no other airlines have similar policies.
I think most men are natural protectors and would do more to help a child in an emergency situation. I know a child would be lucky to sit next to my husband vs most females as he is a medic and is trained in rescue/emergency response.
