Why? :/

Some Women are hassled late night on the tube


To be fair JC put it on his site as idea
and also said Woman will decide

Some men probably are too and I have no doubt alot of the idiots hassling people are scummy girls too

Some women are professional workers
and would prefer - men kept away.


Be nice For Lesbos


Note : There is nothing wrong with being a lesbo

ideal for terrorists to target

what that would do is place all the potentially vulnerable together creating more of a target. Crazy

A Female Terrorist
Yes

What an idiot. He wants to run a country??

Its just a idea
at this stage

Ridiculous how would this work during rush hour if there were room on the women only carriage? Unworkable and stupid

Maybe they would a Female "Butch" Guard
for all pink floor carraiges

It works OK in Dubai

Sorry lads
you are not permitted on the pink floor carriage

Not been on it, does it get overcrowded like the tube? Or the overhead at rush hour?

Yes but all the women are away from the Randy Men

That's their culture though, let's go the whole hog and cover up head to toe :nono:

Helps if you read the article... it's a proposed solution for an increase in late night abuse, I haven't heard anyone else coming out with any proactive ideas :/

The man's a throwback to the 1970s, he reminds me of Lenin (dramatic but his way of speaking does) and that's not a good thing

For Sure

No its just a Online idea
Early Days


He is a Good Future Labour Leader
and has chance to become the PM in 4 and half years

Personally I don't agree with it and I also think policing it will be near impossible really.

However, at least,since it is an issue raised by those women who have been harassed and sexually harassed before, especially later in the evening, then to at least be looking at something as to the issue,is better than actually saying and doing nothing.

The women who have been near or actually harassed or sexually harassed or even assaulted are the ones who should be involved in the best way forward as to this and it seems clear Jeremy Corbyn is at the very least someone who will listen to their thoughts and experiences,rather than just pay them lip service like most politicians.

Well that isn't actually even what he said

it was unsafe for many travelling late at night on trains in the past, I personally always picked the busiest carriage if i was travelling late at night. I did witness a drunken attack on a passenger, where we all got up and restrained the drunk. Job done.

These days, all trains have cctv installed, so they are much, much safer than they used to be. In fact I haven't seen any incidents since they were installed, so I'm not sure the issue really exists now. Of course there will always be the occasional nutter, but women only carriages aren't going to prevent someone who really wants to cause problems from doing anything.

I did read the article :hmph: I am in favour of making transport safe for all, there needs to be a police/staff presence rather than making stations and trains automated facilities, a women only carriage is not the solution

But there may be alot

Female "Butch " Guards
willing to save these slick women

That's not going to be possible putting an officer on every late night service is it?
I doubt if railstaff would relish the idea of playing nanny either, but it's an idea as was the female only carriages.. both have drawbacks.

I'll do it!... gizza job!

We used have guards on every train before it all came down to turning a profit don't see why the train companies can't step up here after all it's happening on their watch and their profits are enormous

How Nice

Keeping those Randy Men out of the womens carriage

It would be interesting to know how many male are assaulted on trains Not sure why women are the focus, it's all very Victorian

There is a Few younger male ones
but many will never report it
as they are ashamed of it etc


It appears so many late night women office workers
are getting touched up.

I would give them Pepper Spray
but you must be trained to get his their "eyes" good

Idk I have mixed feelings about this.

I can't see it being practical, but from what I understand is that these carriages would serve as a choice thing, meaning that it's not segregation as some people have put it, but women if they feel like they might be harassed can go in there.

But yeah it's only an idea and not a policy, he says he will talk to women and they will ultimately decide whether or not it becomes a policy which is very sensible and I respect that. Who knows womens issues better than women?

There's probably a statistic out there, and I would assume there is a minority of men being assaulted by women, but I know it is overwhelmingly the women being assaulted, we're talking in the 80-90% range..

I'm talking about men and women being assaulted by both sexes, I can imagine that a lot of male assaults go unreported, we are not just talking sexual assault here, but physical and verbal as well

In women only carriages who is going to stop a male getting on? The railways need policing not people who pay massive ticket prices policing themselves

Oh oops yea I forgot thats a thing

I guess some kind of campaign to support male victims of rape/assault/harassment could really help, the whole not-reporting thing is really awful and another product of the patriarchy which affects men too.

But I do think that women are far more affected than men are by things like this.

& I also think more policing would be wise, a divestment of some defence funds from trident to extra police would be good imo

If they had manned CCTV in operation on late night trains that would be an ideal solution for me, I agree the duty of care lies with them.

I don't think the tax payer should be footing the bill! We already pay outrageous ticket prices for train/ tube travel that can pay for it as part of reinvestment...
