The battle of the sexes is lost...


Men. Want to realise your ultimate fantasy of riding on a crowded train carriage, packed with women only? Then the Saikyo line may be for you (but you'll have your yarbles sliced off if they catch ya)!
Yes, groping on trains is alive and well (sick perhaps?) in our fair town. College kids, salary men, government officials, politicians alike have all been collared for variations of this popular 'sport'. Some instances involve a squeeze of the ass while others apparently go as far as digital penetration. Whichever way you look at it, signs (such as the one posted above) point to the fact that it isn't going over at all well with the ladies. Thanks to the prevalence of these sick f***ers certain train lines have deemed it necessary to run (you've probably guessed) women only carriages.
The word for groper or sexual molester in Japanese is 'chikan'. Public transport is so ridiculously over-crowded in the a.m and p.m rush hours, that it's a snip to cop a feel of some poor soul pressed up against you. Sometimes these opportunistic pricks are caught, but more often than not the victim is too timid to cry out, thus allowing the perp to carry on his merry way. For the perverted cowards out there tempted but too gutless to try it yourselves, don't fret. There's plenty of porn available depicting this exact crime. My guess is this quaint little hobby isn't going away any time soon, women only carriages or no.
