What do you think about « women’s only train » ?

Importantly, such trains don’t have men only train cars, but rather simply deny men access to some of the existing train cars, which of course allows women greater access, men sometimes being forced to wait, be late for work, etc., despite there being available seats. This is clearly just discrimination.

It’s essentially the same as saying black people can’t sit in the front half of the bus, even if the back is full.

It seems we never get past justify discrimination. We just change whom is politically correct to discriminate against.

As long as I can get some peace in the men’s only train. It’ll get there on time as well.

Segregation is back and stronger than ever.

walterwallcarpet · 2025-03-01T08:57:41+00:00

Cool. Let them build and maintain it, too. And make sure it's on the right track. After all, it's 'women only'.

My guess is that it won't be so popular after a short time.

Stock-Scientist6685 · 2025-03-01T07:39:20+00:00

The same as a white's only train.

Ok-Dependent-367 · 2025-03-01T09:20:31+00:00

If this exists, then male only ones should too

If men's taxes are being used to give special treatment to women, men should stop paying taxes.

Or vote in politicians who use taxes equally for everyone. Even better, send forward politicians who will lobby for special treatment for men, to counter the special treatment for men.

I think this is one of the few areas I am kind of pro something for women being talked about on here.

I live in Japan, I'm a bit pear shaped. If I'm on a regular crowded train during rush hour, there is a about 1 in 20 chance someone will sneakily reach and grab my butt, and in the crowd I can't tell who it was. I wear a suit to work because I have to, but I hate how suits make my butt look bigger even. So I ride the women's only car when I can. This is overall a small percentage of men, but it only takes one unfortunately to commit the grabbing.

If anyone who witnessed the grabber were to call him out and reduce grabbing if they knew who it was, then there would be no problem, but people want to get to work and not be caught up in drama, so even upon seeing something, they say nothing. It's kind of a Japanese culture thing. So without speaking out, the separate car is kind of necessary here.

Long term, I want to move to a more rural area where this is less common, but in Tokyo, women's only car please. There should be a men's only car, too, because I've also heard of women falsely accusing men of train groping, so a spot where men can feel safe would be a good idea.

All for it men , until no girl comes into the mens train every thing will be fine , it would be fun actually , having some laughs and talks , cursing freely , having some beer or drink

OsazeBacchus · 2025-03-01T10:00:36+00:00

More segregation is good. We should do workplaces next

Jack-The-Happy-Skull · 2025-03-01T09:26:21+00:00

Western countries are reverting to older traditions some that were fruitful, while others are more dogmatic and inefficient, this being the ladder.

The US at a time had the idea of separate but equal. Look at how well that turned out. It turned that they weren’t equal, one was discriminated, and had worse outcomes and opportunities.

This is the same. We are trading freedom for safety. Like a famous philosopher said, “If you trade your freedom for security; you deserve neither freedom nor security.”

Just because it appears to be safe, doesn’t mean it is. And we can’t abandon our principles for the ethereal essence of safety.

Am disappointed in those countries.

This will only generate more conflict between the sexes. And bring more a division in our nations.

FeanorOath · 2025-03-01T10:45:29+00:00

It is discrimination

stutteringdog · 2025-03-01T16:42:11+00:00

Can’t trans women go in the women only train if they wanted?

Different-Product-91 · 2025-03-01T16:47:54+00:00

Fine, as long as there will also be a mens' train.

InsaneBasti · 2025-03-01T10:46:48+00:00

Sexist af. And yall thinking this will also result in men only trains is naive af

Greedy-Risk-918 · 2025-03-01T07:52:50+00:00

I'm all for it, then the others become just for men and maybe we could have some peace

Bal3450 · 2025-03-01T18:47:38+00:00

Why not create a woman only city where only they live there, which means they get to do all the hard labor jobs like construction, garbage truck drivers, sewage work, etc to maintain the city as no guys are allowed in there. I wonder how long before the city becomes complete chaos without men 🤔.

Longjumping-End2001 · 2025-03-01T12:40:26+00:00

I would choose a men’s only carriage over a mixed one every time if I was on my own. Tbh I’d choose men’s only spaces over mixed for a lot of things

Gender Equality is just a lip service

Keats852 · 2025-03-01T15:15:05+00:00

pussy privilege

Golden-Grate-242 · 2025-03-01T07:56:35+00:00

In what country? I've been to Egypt and I was with a woman. Catch 22- I think the gender separateness is part of what makes them like that, which is also why people advocate separateness for safety. It's a cycle.

I warned the girl I was with NOT to wear shorts there. She's blond and blue eyed, men were trying to grab at her and I had to hold her close and shout if you touch my wife you will have a problem (we weren't married). Several tried to grab her.

I can only imagine if we were on a train that she would have been sexually assaulted if not gang raped. In the US there is absolutely no place for sex segregated trains, but in a situation like Egypt?

OrdinaryAd2960 · 2025-03-01T14:08:54+00:00

They exist for a reason.

There is a japanese word, "chikan" it specifically refers to unwanted sexual touching, often in public places like trains. There are women-only train cars in Japan to help prevent chikan incidents.

Tealgryffin · 2025-03-01T15:00:11+00:00

I'm all for equality, but especially in japan, there's a real epidemic of specifically women being sexually assaulted or photographed on trains. It also isn't a massive issue or a hill worth dying on, there are way worse mens issues

FoggerMcgee · 2025-03-01T19:42:41+00:00

That's fine we boys are going to be talking about where we dropping in fortnite

Minister_Of_Da_Dick · 2025-03-02T05:52:21+00:00

Wish they had them in America. I spend too much energy actively avoiding eye contact with women on the train now. Lol

kiaeej · 2025-03-01T11:59:55+00:00

In some places, it really is needed. But by and large in western countries it should not be implemented.

SparkLabReal · 2025-03-01T13:03:29+00:00

What do I think about segregation? It's disgusting.

Western_Writing6689 · 2025-03-01T15:09:19+00:00

In Japan it’s needed for the citizens but besides that no it’s not needed.

Excellent_You5494 · 2025-03-01T10:33:01+00:00

Waste of marketing.

Noid1111 · 2025-03-01T16:51:19+00:00

Depend on the context

sj20442 · 2025-03-02T01:29:32+00:00

Perfectly good idea. Women should be able to take the train without being stared at, groped and harassed by men.

Wheekie · 2025-03-01T09:50:12+00:00

Doesn't solve anything. If the predator is also a woman, then they've got all their eggs in one basket.

Less-Requirement8641 · 2025-03-01T10:17:59+00:00

Are men going to be the ones maintaining and controlling it. Or are women actually going to do it, often just seems like they hate men but still want men to do everything.

kuzism · 2025-03-01T10:07:30+00:00

Do beautiful women take the train ?
