  1. To come back to the accusations of life being easier for women because of these gender-seggregated spaces, and that hated label of ‘special for women’ — why should I feel bad about an inelegant solution offered by society to my sex because of the crimes of your sex?

    Would you still be in agreement of such an arrangement if they were reserved compartments for whites in western cities where minorities/people of color are statistically more likely to commit violent crimes?

    I hope not. To say “certain MALE miscreants” is not any different from saying “certain colored people” and using that as justification for segregation is a presumption of guilt and the maligning of an entire group. Far from a privilege it is an absolute disgrace and all free thinking women should rise up in arms with the men of Mumbai and Occupy these segregated spaces. Women especially ought to care more, if they are serious about equality. By condoning the segregation you perpetuate the status quo. These coaches aren’t any different from asking women to wear the Burqa in order to avoid sexual harassment.

  2. Male deviance in the city and most parts of this country is a sad fact due mainly due to the male:female ratio.Notice the beaches in brazil and the woman in bikinis . No one even glances much at them and the woman are comfortable with the glancing stares. And males do not have fixated stares like here in india .

    1. @sam: I doubt it’s entirely because of the male-female ratio. But I do think that the skewed gender ratio and this deviant behaviour rise from the same source – an imbalanced dominance of the male sex and disproportionate hostility towards the female sex.

      1. @ideasmith you are right. The male miscreants are the lowest of the 1% of the population ,who have lost that self control and i do not think they feel special about the lack of control. The daily reportage by reporters who gets the worst 1% cases from the local police stations just aggravate the situation.B grade movies and the wrong peers make these males lose control more easily.

        An alpha male will send sexual cues with his eyes that will make a woman blush or set up and take notice of him.sadly this hard wired trait has too few woman for take care of themselves and who have great dress sense and too many unwanted males.

        Your posts really makes people think hard about human behavior. It has given me great insight into my “deviant staring” behavior and of other males :).
