Can we have men only carriages too?

[cassa333]

The alternative is 1. Adequate education of males to the fact they are not slaves to their urges. 2. Have guards in every carriage. 3. No drunk people allowed on trains. 4. Vet anyone getting on a train. 4. Proper, useful and high definition cctv with sound in all carriages.

There will always be people, well I say people but some of them are sub human, who will do whatever they like, whenever they like and herding women into an area just for them is not addressing the underlying problem.

jno; "16 answers in and I still haven't seen an alternative suggestion. And from all these posters who know everything! " - don't need and alternative, the status quo is fine.

[ToraToraTora]

perhaps they should have Labour MP only carriages with no seats so they can all sit on the floor and moan about lack of seats.

[gulliver1]

Glad we do not have Men only Prime Ministers.
Imagine The unintelligent, idiotic posts we would have from TGT about TGM, OMG!.

^ :o)

[ludwig]

Yeah great, also, how about compulsory burkhas on women so men aren't subjected to unreasonable temptation in the first place?

..or perhaps we should just be cracking down harder on the scumbags committing the assaults?

[ToraToraTora]

steady ludwig, you are in serious danger of making a sensible suggestion!

[youngmafbog]

Women only carriages? Now what sort of culture would love tht to happen I wonder?

The answer is simple, tackle the underlying problem.

[anotheoldgit]

well with reported hate crime being on the increase, perhaps we should consider providing, Jews only carriages, Muslims only carriages, Blacks only carriages, Gays only carriages, and one specifically for those nasty horrible Heterosexual White Males?

And before any of you jump in with your insults, I don't travel by train.

[anotheoldgit]

Sorry fiction-factory I posted my reply before I got to reading yours.

[anotheoldgit]

I remember the time of the single carriages on trains with no corridor.

A male was a fool to enter one of those if just a lone female happened to be seated in that carriage.

There were numerous cases where female had demanded money from men with the threat that if they didn't pay up they would pull the communication cord and cry sexual assault.

The poor male victim wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

[anotheoldgit]

May I suggest carriages with no seats, only prayer mats.

Dives for cover.

[youngmafbog]

//1,448 sexual offences on trains had been reported in 2016-17, //

I really would like to know the breakdown of that figure but cant seem to find anything. Interestingly it does include London Underground and it would appear many assaults occur during rush hour so presumably on packed tube trains or stations. Women only carriages in rush hour simply would not work.

Without the breakdown it is impossible to suggest solutions jno, indeed some of the increase could probably be contributed to more people coming forward, which is a good thing. If you know where the breakdown is please point me in the right direction.

[youngmafbog]

That is pencilled in for 2030 AOG.

[anotheoldgit]

I can remember Ladies Snugs in pubs also Smoking Rooms, ah "those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end".

[Deskdiary]

What about the ‘gender fluid’ people? If a ‘non-binary’ person (let’s say a man) identified as female on the 18.12 from London Bridge to Sevenoaks because there were seats available, would this be acceptable?

[Spicerack]

How about,

How about non-criminals only carriages? This would create safe spaces for non-criminals, where they'd be free from the unwanted attention of criminals.

Any criminals entering these carriages and committing crimes could be dealt with by the existing legal system.

The scheme could be extended to cover all carriages if it proves successful.
