</a>Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach was once sitting with someone on a crowded
city bus when a woman got onto the bus and couldn't find a place to sit.
Rav Shlomo Zalman turned to the younger person sitting next to him and
told him that either he should get up and give her his seat, or Rav
Shlomo Zalman will give up his seat. The younger fellow got up and Rav
Shlomo Zalman sat next to the women without any hesitation. <br><br>
Interestingly Rav Shlomo Zalman once commented to someone (in accordance
with the gemara Eruvin 18b) that it is far better to sit next to a woman
that sit behind a women. (V'Aleihu Lo Yibol 2:EH:9)<br><br>
