Is It That Hard to Help Out?!

Ok so, while travelling lately I was so disappointed with Pakistan's lack of courtesy towards females travelling alone with kids. I mean they don't help you out at any point. I've always seen that whenever someone has a small baby they're always allowed to skip lines, board first, don't get bothered much, etc. NOT ME.
On my most recent flight at Karachi airport they decided to open all my bags and look through each and everything while baby was screaming her head off. Then they make me get her stroller checked through every machine (ok that happens everywhere, not just Pakistan but it annoys the hell out of me, like if my kid is sleeping can you not do a manual check since the stroller has already gone through the machine the first time?) so I've basically stopped bringing her stroller along because when I travel alone I can't handle baby and constantly closing the stroller and putting it on the machine. So anyways, when it's time to board I walk confidently up and expect them to let me board earlier than my zone but NO they didn't help there either. Needless to say, I got so annoyed by then that I made sure I was the last person to board the plane. This sadly isn't my only story of people being annoying during flights, something or another legit happens on every flight. I don't know if I just have really bad luck or this is something that happens to everyone.
When I reached Dubai, so many people tried helping me or offered to let me skip them and all that. Although, to be fair this behavior isn't only in the airport. I see this everywhere and it's so sad that we can not show courtesy to one another. I have been wanting to rant about this so long but have been so busy that I didn't get a chance. Does this happen to you guys too, or is it just me?!
