Guest sibon   #13 Posted August 26, 2015 A large majority arent reported.  Maybe that's to do with the way that power is distributed in our society. Maybe that's the root of the problem. Maybe Jeremy Corbyn might like to think that one through a bit and come up with some proper solutions.  But segregated train carriages are much easier:rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
TJC1   10 #14 Posted August 26, 2015 Black people are more likely to be victims of violent crime too. He could have special buses just for them too. It's been tried before but for some reason it was phased out. A slogan like Blacks Only Bus could be a vote winner.  This is a train carriage specific crime.  ---------- Post added 26-08-2015 at 10:07 ----------  Maybe that's to do with the way that power is distributed in our society.

Cyclone   10 #15 Posted August 26, 2015 How would you do that? optional women only carriages is a great idea.  ---------- Post added 26-08-2015 at 09:54 ----------   If men cant control themselves, taking the opportunity away is best course of action.  That's akin to blaming the victim. Men can obviously control themselves, you are one, do you find it difficult to avoid assaulting women on trains? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest sibon   #16 Posted August 26, 2015 This is a train carriage specific crime.  Are there no other problems faced by women? Do they only get assaulted in train carriages? Do they only fail to report train related assaults? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â train carriage assault is localised. Its something you can actually do something about. e.g. Optional female only carriages.

Zamo   10 #20 Posted August 26, 2015 optional women only carriages is a great idea.  How about segregating along racial lines to prevent racist attacks... is that a good idea?  There isn't enough room on trains during peak times as it is without segregating everyone.  If men cant control themselves, taking the opportunity away is best course of action.  Seriously, you think fear of a £20 fine for entering a 'Women Only' carriage is going to stop people willing to risk prison by committing sex attacks?

Guest sibon   #22 Posted August 26, 2015 Why do you need men only carriages?  So that weak men can lock themselves away from all of that temptation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Obelix   11 #23 Posted August 26, 2015 Why do you need men only carriages?  False accusations of rape are a common problem - I think if we have a carriage of our own then we are going to be safe from women doing that to us.  Sounds ridiculous doesn't it. It's as ridiculous as women only carriages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Timeh   10 #24 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Its a male problem.
