"Women mustn't sit at the back of the boat "

It's great to be staying at the four star floating hotel, as you can look out of you bedroom window onto the river and see the fishermen and working boats go by. Taking the local ferry across the river to see sunset was a reminder of how difficult it is still for women. When we got on the boat and started striding towards the back where there were seats, we were told that women mustn't sit at the back of the boat, downstairs near the engine, with no view, is perfectly the best place to keep us!!!
