   | Female-only areas in Japan. There was an article in the Daily Telegraph yesterday, where it said that Japan had started creating women-only restaraunts and trains, due to the way men behave towards women in public (groping, reading porn on the tube etc.). If it was any other country I'd think it was a bit silly, but given what I've heard about the way women are treated in Japan I can see it being needed... Any thoughts? Naren, you're better placed than anyone else to offer some perspective on this... 'If one octave isn't interesting then who the hell cares about the others?!'

| I dont think segregation is the solution, they should instead find out why they treat women bad and fix whatever causes the problem. Productive Desecration Since 2004 |

| I think part of the problem is that that sort of attitude is so ingrained into the national psyche that it couldn't really be fixed within one generation. |

| is it optional? is it like an escape for women? "Come here if you want to.... if you feel like being away from males"? i wouldn't say an optional retreat is the same as segragation. it sucks that it had to come to that though. guys will hopefully feel the deprivation and either straighten up.... or they'll feel the deprivation and be even more horny and stupid. problem is that men make the laws (or lack of them) and chose to enforce (or ignore) them. |

I'm not saying all men are going to go hunting for the women but you will get the minority who will go seeking them out in their 'women-only areas' and they will know exactly where to find them. More words here is more words. | |

| I should have said, it is optional areas the women can retreat to, not forced segregation... It will be interesting to see how it develops, as it could easily go either way. You'd hope that the kind of men who'd abuse the new system in the way Delfino Pie described will be in the minority, but... |

| Hmm, could help, but I think it'll just lead to the problem getting worse. As more women choose to go to these "optional" areas, the harrasment gets worse for the others as there's less women in the general areas. Hence more are inclined to go the the women only areas. Repeat until total segregation occurs. Quote:
