You ignore her and return back to watching the screen across from you mounted on the edge of the ceiling. She coughs again a few more times then the bus suddenly stops.
Two robotic police officers board the bus.
“There’s the man-spreader!” they yell.
They pry open your legs and nail you in the groin area with one of their robotic feet. You can hear part of your hip break from the force. For former factory robots that got re-purposed into police bots, they pack quite a punch. You double down onto the floor in pain. The woman sits down in your spot and then spits on you. The robots drag you off the bus, still in pain and toss you into the a cart that sends you down the courthouse.
Your attempt at being the male Rosa Parks failed spectacularly. In five minutes, you are charged, tried and convicted of 1st degree man-spreading. You are sentenced to 15 days in the slammer and 30 days in re-education camp.
You share a jail cell of the last male politician of the United States. After having a nice conversation and discussion on what should happen to the country, he is taken away and quietly executed.
You spend the rest of the jail term alone and then are sent off to a re-education camp where you are sterilized surgically and then are lobotomized. You are reprogrammed to be a compliant worker-bee for society.

This is a fate just as worse as death, at least if you died, you died aware and with some dignity intact. Go back and try another path.
