Any Japanese men here who have to comply with this utter bullshit?

Why are women seen as being on the same level as children? Why are they worthy of protection but not men?

It's everywhere, not only in Japan. Pay attention, no one feminist protests against it. Isn't it against gender equality? While they proclaim that "feminism is a movement for gender equality". How many feminists have said that male only mobilization in Ukraine is sexism? Why do they want equal rights, but not equal responsibilities?

This is because of an issue related to groping in subway cars.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/07/16/asia/japan-chikan-groping-trains-survey-intl-hnk

One in 10 young people in Japan – the vast majority women – have been groped on trains and in other public places, a government survey has found, highlighting an often unreported crime that has long plagued the country despite official efforts to fight it. “Chikan” — touching or groping without consent in public places, typically on crowded trains — is a widespread problem in Japan, where extensive rail networks transport millions of passengers each day, often in packed carriages during hectic rush hours. In a nationwide poll of more than 36,000 people aged 16 to 29 by the Cabinet Office in February, 10.5% of respondents said they had been groped or experienced other indecent acts in public. Women accounted for nearly 90% of those who said they were assaulted, according to the survey released this month. About two-thirds of those respondents said the offense took place aboard a train, with a similar amount saying it occurred during the morning or evening rush hour.

There's a reason why they made these rush-hour subway cars.

I wonder what the men of yesterday thought when these messages were first introduced and why none of them rebelled.

The trains are private so fuck who, exactly?

Me. Fuck me. Got me to comment.

I'm kind of glad these dingle berries are self segregating themselves out of normal society.

Not sure whether this is misandry. It may be an asymmetrical solution to an asymmetrical problem, or it might be standard "what about the womenz" preferential treatment.

Japanese culture and law are different from what I'm familiar with. I get the sense that women being groped and upskirted on Japan's public transit is a more prevalent problem than men being groped and upskirted.

During rush hours Japanese trains and subways are like sardine cans. Subway employees even push people into the carriages.

“In 2017, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department recorded 1,750 cases of groping or molestation, with more than 50% of cases of sexual harassment occurring on trains and a further 20% in train stations.

According to a recent Nikkei survey, of 1,000 working women surveyed, 43% had experienced sexual harassment and more than 60% said they did not report it.”

They even sell anti-groping gloves for men who don’t want to be falsely accused.

Heck, there are places in Japan where they have prop/fake subway carriages. And men can pay to grope women in those subway rooms. But just groping. No sex…

And the amount of Japanese subway groping and simulated assaulting porn is …. Quite extensive.

I'm afraid the bingo card will need some updates

Accomplished-Ice500 · 2025-02-04T09:32:37+00:00

I think it's because Japan specifically has an issue of molestation of women and children in public transports like that and a large issue of perverts that even take pictures under women's skirts(they have signs that literally say not to that. It's also why phone cameras over there and in Korea don't allow you to turn off flash and make the camera silent). And it's Japan. The only thing you'd be in danger of as an average man over there is either pissing off some Yakuza in a bar or having your umbrella stolen when you go out.

Probably because they think that women ARE children, which is absurd of course, and also in a way ironic, because all it does is imply that women are somehow a lesser being than men that deserves special treatment.

To be fair, in Japan, women's rights are really lacking in many aspects of life when compared to the West. I'd honestly have way more of more of a problem if we had the "women and children" thing somewhere in Europe or somewhere in the anglosphere.

Specific_Macaron_317 · 2025-02-04T19:32:06+00:00

I’d assume it’s because children are coming up tax payers / life givers and women are tax paying life givers … men are just tax payers. Not saying it’s right but assuming it’s all a money game

Ireadbooks18 · 2025-02-11T13:34:08+00:00

Didn't Japan has a problem with men inaproprietly tauching women on trains, to the point that they had to put up signs saying not to do it?

I mean the reason why phones in Japan have to make a sound when you take a picture with them is because men keept taking upskirt pictures of women.

StudioCompetitive893 · 2025-02-04T08:42:45+00:00

why is this even created in the first place? there must be a reason behind... i guess women dont deserve a place where they receive less sexual harassment
