I'd inform the man (I refrain from using the word "gentleman" for misogynists) that he's welcome to change his own seat, but his religious preferences do not constitute an obligation for anyone else.
And as a man myself, he's invited to sit somewhere far away from me.
Right, this is more my issue with a lot of these stories... the men trying to get women to move or asking other people to switch seats with them are expecting others to accommodate. He should have bought extra seats or contacted the airline well before to make arrangements. If the airline he is flying is randomly assigned upon arrival, he shouldn't have flown that airline.
Or, for the sake of argument, assuming that it was a last minute booking finding a new seat on his own rather than placing the burden on any women sitting next to him.
If I was a transporter, I would totally give that accomodation to those people so they don't have to sit next to women, children, whatever they wish as long as they are willing to pay full price for the empty seat next to them.
