TOKYO (Reuters) - Many women taking the crowded train in Tokyo opt for women-only carriages during the rush hour to avoid gropers.

Now, for fear of being accused of groping, some are asking for carriages reserved for men as well.

Ten shareholders of Seibu Holdings, which runs trains in the Tokyo area, have petitioned for carriages reserved for men.

"There have been many cases of groping, as well as false charges of groping, on Seibu Railway," the shareholders said in a notice seeking a vote at the company's annual meeting next Wednesday.

"While measures against groping, such as setting women-only carriages, have been effective to a certain extent, no measures have been taken against false charges of groping... In the spirit of gender-equality, a male-only carriage must be introduced."

False accusations of groping were highlighted when Japan's Supreme Court overturned in April the conviction of a professor for groping a girl on a Tokyo train.

Judges pointed out a need to be careful in such cases when the accuser was the only source of evidence, media said.

But the shareholder request for men's carriages may not be implemented, as Seibu's board of directors opposes the idea.

"The reality is that we have few requests from Seibu Railway users for setting up male-only carriages," the board said in its reply to the shareholder request.

In Tokyo, around 2,000 people were arrested for groping in 2007, data from the police showed. Many crowded train lines, including Seibu lines, designate a carriage just for women during the rush hour.

I hate to say this but groping is so widespread in Muslim countries..i heard even in the Holy Cities during Hajj women get groped.

I got groped quite a number of times and have been flashed at and so did many of my female friends and family.Alhamdullilah i narrowly escaped being sexually assaulted or even worse raped.

E~S:- I don't think I've seen you say/write anything positive about Muslim countries.

P.S, I'm not saying that groping doesn't occur in Muslim countries.

[Enlightened~Sista]

Firefly..walaal truth is truth..today i can be in the most densely packed bus or tube and wallahi no man will dare to touch me..yet in Muslim countries even the women wearing niqaab and abaaya get grabbed from the arse etc. Most groping occurs in Western Countries is at pubs/nightclubs when men are under the influence..yet Muslimiinta iyago miyir qaba oo belo cabbin ayeey waxaas ku shaqaysanayaan.


Anigu maxaa iga galey if it is happening in Japan..Wadankeyna Muslimka bay way ka dhacaan.

Enlighten sista R U SERIOUS???

Thats HILARIOUUUUS! u r making this upppppppp! Is this the length of hate u have for Islam or arabs?????? I mean, dont get me wrong, i am not saying Gropping is impossible in arab countries, the propability of gropping in a conservative nation like arab countries and japan, a result of cultural/sexual suppression can bring about frustrated perverts, but its very sick of u with your 'made up, fantassy' story, personalizing it to make a point or to emphasize your hate for arabs.

[Enlightened~Sista]

Who said anything about Islam?


Boys and girls are not socialised properly in these countries. A lot of Indian migrant labour are involved who are barred from bringing their wives etc from back home due to discriminatory slavish laws...they then pounce on the women in these countries.
