Yvonne Lin, a 38-year-old New Yorker, was so pleased when a man stood up to give her a seat on the subway she gave him a trophy.
Lin, a designer, posted on Instagram that she regularly used the subway during both her pregnancies, but it wasn't until she was in
the third trimester of her second that a man gave her a seat on a packed train.
Lin said that while many women had given her a seat, she decided to continue her social experiment to see whether a man would stand for her - and he would be handsomely rewarded.
A bronze statuette - which appears to depict the "Incredible Hulk" tearing his shirt - atop a plaque that reads "#1 decent dude. First man to offer subway seat to pregnant woman throughout Two Pregnancies." became a prize.
"I was getting no seats from men," she said, "if I finally get a seat from a guy then I have to celebrate this some way and make sure he knows he's appreciated."
