That depends entirely on seating capicity and layout and specific numbers.
Also whether male across aisle, male in seat ahead or behind is considered an issue. It's a constraint problem similar to paying extra to not be near children.

#7When I booked a long distance bus in Turkiye and in Azerbaijan, the interface showed me the gender of other people, and prevented me to sit next to someone of the opposite gender. There was also a special case for children.
As far as I understand, this is required by law, so Flixbus and other companies had to implement this feature.

#8Given the tightness of airline seating and typical shoulder width for each gender, alternating male / female seating seems ideal space-wise.

What is more expensive? Not having to sit next to a child or not having to sit next to a man?
Also: will IndiGo Airlines share with me, a guy, part of the extra money I help them make? ;)

#10> it said it opened 96 in-flight sexual assault cases in 2023.
This seems a very low number; roughly on the same order as number of people who die in an air craft accident (that is: dozens or hundreds/year, rather than thousands or more).
Total cases opened was 512 by the way: https://www.faa.gov/unruly
