Tokyo women to get own subway cars

Sex Crime

Faced with demands to halt an alarming rise in sexual assaults, nine rail and subway firms in Tokyo on Monday introduced women-only carriages during the morning rush hour.

Earlier this year, police in Tokyo said the number of reported groping incidents had tripled in recent years, from 778 in 1996 to 2,201 in 2004.

The cases last year led to 1,886 arrests, with offenders ranging in age from 14 to 80.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Tokyo women to get own subway cars. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
