Germany rail company introduces women/children only train cars

My mother was always laughing at guys bothering me and trying to hit up on me while traveling until some old geezer was bothering her and giving her unwanted attention and just would not stop trying . Then she stopped thinking it was funny
Would be nice to have those cars here

What they need to do is get those new refugee men into classes to teach them how to behave around western women, that just because a woman is wearing shorts on a hot day doesn't mean she's a whore and fair game. If they don't get through to them, there will be bloodshed as women start to arm themselves any way they can.

Then again, a lot of western men are no bargain when they're out in public, either.

For example, people shouldn't move here thinking that they can get their daughters sexually mutilated or that they can force them into child marriages.

They hang out in the malls, in groups of 5-10, leering at girls and women that walk by. And they feel like big men when those girls and women get uncomfortable being leered at.

and most of those never grow out of it.

Back when there was work for them, it wasn't quite as miserable for women and girls.

Wow

My favorite weapon as a woman alone in Boston was a 4 inch hat pin I found in an antique shop. A quick jab from that thing and the most determined asshole would let go and leave.

On the Mexico City metro. I take it daily when I'm there (usually 2-3 months a year). I will ride the men's' car if I'm with a friend.
Odd story, I was riding to the historic center of Mexico City last summer, during rush hour. Not one of my finer decisions. I got on the men's' car with my best friend (a man). We're both fluent in Spanish and from major metro areas (me from NYC area, he from Montreal). The car was positively packed and we missed our stop. I was getting anxious about the crowds...not about the men, per se, though I was in a skirt. We started chatting with folks, in Spanish, saying "yeah, we spend lots of time here, from major cities, blah blah blah." An older guy shouted "this young lady needs to get off at the next stop, let's let her out!"
No groping, no sexual comments. I did almost have a panic attack though.

If it's becoming a problem for women on the train, I'm glad the trains take notice.

transit police with nightsticks handing out "wood shampoos" as needed.

This is a sad and dangerous trend. Pretty soon, any woman who is harassed will be blamed for not sitting in the segregated car. Any woman who is not in a female-only car will be seen as fair game.

If the Germans really cared about women's concerns, they would work to make the entire train a comfortable environment for women, not just a single car. They would educate men about treating women with respect, rather than tell women to limit their freedom of movement. This is like telling women that they shouldn't go out alone late at night. The fact that Japan does it should have raised red flags immediately.

I've always felt very safe in Germany riding the trains. In Munich and also Chemnitz and Leipzig, evan late at night. I haven't visited in over two years so I guess things have really changed.

I spent a week in Cologne three years ago and felt perfectly safe wondering around...so sad.
