This is the first airline where women can request not to sit next to men

Article here. Gee, is there a version that allows ppl to pick the ethnicity of their seat-mates? Oh, but that'd be racist. This isn't sexist at all! Excerpt:

'But now, one airline is making it easier to calm anxieties when it comes to flying, becoming the first to allow women to request not to be seated next to a man.

A low-cost airline based in India, IndiGo, has announced a pioneering new policy allowing women to view the gender of the passengers sitting around them before booking.

They’ll be able to choose to sit next to a woman if they’d prefer, which they’ll be able to do by viewing the seat plan ahead of flying.

Where women are booked on, their seats will flash pink – yes, somewhat of a cliché but the policy itself is a watershed moment when it comes to passenger safety.
...
Critically, men will not be privy to this information when booking, so they won’t be able to use it to deliberately position themselves next to a woman.

The new initiative was spurred by a survey issued to its female customers, who were asked how their travel experience could be made more comfortable.'
