LOL @ last video Danny
having a Men only carriage won't solve anything
vice versa with women only carriage
though i remember hearing that if a girl doesnt get groped in Japan that she isnt pretty or good enough..

Your last line made me think that some (perverted in that case) people really have the worst, lamest excuses for their weird hobbies/fetishes/illustrations of impulses, etc. to be condoned.
I think a groping carriages would solve the problem.

dude easiest way....go homo/or flaming queer make em think your literally being raped by the girl when she called you out. bet you itll work.

I still think Japanese trains are the most pleasant and safe to ride. No matter how insanely packed the trains manage to get, there seems to rarely be any sort of incident. I much rather have it that way than in some other countries where you have to continuously watch who may be standing behind or next to you. I can handle a woman falsely accusing me of being a groping me. Being robbed or pick pocketed straight up sucks.

I mean, not that it would be a bad thing to accidentally hop in a train with only woman aboard XD.

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the number of false accusations would be greater than the actual number of groping incidents.
it's a crime which is hard to prove yet can be taken advantage of by one party. Rape is similar in that the woman can accuse and then the guy is castrated, even if he is innocent.

Forgot to add that the Women making the accusations usually get away scott free, even if they made the accusation up to begin with!!

groping =/= rape
If a woman is touched it is just emotional harm, rape is not only emotional but physical too and should be investigated and punished to the extent of the law. There are ways to find out about rape if the victim goes to the hospital like they should, and thus has something groping doesn't...evidence.

this kind of segregation would solve some groping issues, BUT, I can only fixate to think later on in the future, more trains will switch over to gender separation, if any at all circumstances will push it to that extent. I say things are fine the way they, like toast and butter. Don't all of a sudden add mayonnaise. These are the small and intricate things that make up holy hell Japan

i remember visiting tokyo last year and ALWAYS ending up (by sheer coincidence) on a Ladies Only carriage. Slightly embarrassing but we always moved. The ladies were always just giggling until we figured it out and moved on, but then again we also made it a point to travel when it wasn't rush hour. Still, a sexual assault accusation shouldn't be taken lightly and anything to ease minds of the innocent should help.

I find it sad that you have to seperate men and women, why can't everyone just be together and live in a peaceful environment?
Oh, back to the reality, men only carriage could solve the problem for the moment, but in the longer terms I think it would do more damage than good.

This is one of those 'WTF Japan' moments. I heard it was happening, but not to this extent (botht the real and the faked gropings). Just do something useful with your day (like collecting figures ^^).

It's quite unfair that there are no men's right groups or organizations fighting for the creation of men only carriage. This is gender discrimination I tell ya. Ain't men and women made equal?
Also, in before JAV porn about a busty hot babe trapped inside a men only carriage.

I find it amazing that just an accusation is enough to land someone in jail for this. It would require proof in the U.S. or the accuser would run the risk of being convicted of making false accusations.

Using a friend as your (blatantly lying) witness would work. You don't have to be in the right to win a lawsuit, you just have to win over the judge/jury.

I am surprised that a society as advanced as Japan's would take such a step backward as to segregate their population.

Amazing dancing Danny. I can't believe you had the guts to go all out like that - and you weren't even arrested! :p
well if the problems still continues despite efforts being made to curb the problem,i think i may know a drastic answer to solve the problem.how about a curfew?
curfew solution 1:
here how it works:at certain hours(eg:8am-9am) of the day women are allowed outside to get to work first and the men must remain at home during this hours and if any men(even if he is diguised as a women)who is detected during the curfew hours will immediately arrested and appropriate justice will dealt to him so on and so forth.
curfew solution 2:
split areas in transport terminals one for the men and the other for women and both genders are not allowed to cross each other lines and if they do break the rules,appropriate justice will be taken and so on and so forth.
this way men and women take different routes of transport.
btw this is only a suggestion so take your pick as both have benefits and drawbacks.
Coder
and what if i want to go to work together with my girlfriend? or take her out in the evening?
please, this is ridiculous.
a better solution would be to better educate people from child age.
men should know how to behave in public areas and be able to control their desires. females should strengthen their character, do martial arts and in general learn not to be affected by humiliation.
i'm no expert, but i'd think gropers get most of their kick from feeling the humiliation of their victims. if the victim kicks their ass instead of being embarassed and retreating like a rabbit, that would surely change something.
in short: women should get more balls and men should lose some. ;)

Student
If I was only a busy Japanese train with women around, I'll put my hands on my head like when I was in primary/elementary school and when we were naughty, the teacher would stop us by telling us to put our hands on our head. Then I'll leave the train with my hands on my head and if any women were to accuse me, I'll slowly walk to a camera and talk to them with my hands on my head. Stupid looking and may get pick pocketed but will make sure I won't be falsely accused.

Their Japanese Dept. it just one man, a true Zetsubou Sensei, that is why I am going to UNM. So NMT is a great school if you have no job and get scholarships, but no women, just a bunch of Otakus running around.
In the underground trains where I live, whenever coming and going to work during rush hour, I always make sure my hands are way up where EVERYONE can see them so as not to get framed so easily. Like my left hand grabbing on a handrail while my other hand is always somewhere near my shoulder, such as gripping tightly on my bag's shoulder strap.

It only made me think that it's the right decision to be untrustful and over careful when being outside your home. I bet I would turn into such a person, after spending some of my lifetime, at jail, after being falsley acussed.

ill vote no for segregation. what if me and my girlfriend wanted to ride together? does that mean we have to split up when where headed towards the same destination? BS if you ask me. What Japan needs to do is freakin brainwash their perverts with some electroshock therapy to the dolphin. Why must everyone suffer because a select few horny bastards can't keep their trouser snakes in check?

hmm women only cars were already a dangerous precedent. an unfortunate necessity but a violation on personal liberty.
mens only is downright silly. whats next? japanese only? foreigners only?
you've two hands. its not a difficult concept and one that even this gaijin has figured out. use one to hold the rail/rings. use the other to hold a book/newspaper even if you dont plan to read or know how to read.
Troubleshooter, Universal Exports
http://funkyblueame.tumblr.com/
Very true and I always pull something out to read and use both hand. On the rare occasion I get to sit down.
It's a crime against everyone and needs to stop. Women shouldn't feel they need to worry, guys shouldn't feel they need to protect their wives or girlfriends and guy shouldn't need to keep their hands in view to prove they are no criminals.
Things will stay as they have for the time being. Guy will do as we always have and keep ourselves out of trouble...
However, I hate to say the Japanese are going to need to stop being so passive about such things. If a guy see this going on he needs to be subtle and intervene. Like ripping the pervs arm off... ^^;

I've seen some TV specials about women getting groped but men only carriage might be little too far fetched at this point. I think number of women getting groped is too greater than man getting accused of groping for money. I just hope I don't get involved in such an accident while I'm in Japan >_< I usually avoid rush hour traffic so I might be safe though.

The (IMHO) best Trooper Dance video yet!
Anyways, yeah, if they have a separate train for women, and now men are also being harassed, maybe it's a good idea to just keep separated trains and reserve some for couples or people who don't have a problem with that.
The real problem is too many people on trains.... but this is far more complicated to solve.
Japanese companies needed to have more flexible working hours so people could manage rush hour.
I mean, groping probably only happens when the train is so packed, people can't even move or see what's happening around.

Otaku Security Guard
This kind of segregation is just like sticking your finger in dam to stop it from leaking. It's a shortsighted solution to a much larger problem. The thing is, the problem is practically unsolvable. Maybe Japanese women should modify their clothing in strategic areas to deliver an electric shock to a possible groper? Maybe we will just have to wait for personal force fields to stop this kind of thing.
College Student
I actually think a Men-Only carriage would just increase crowding in the normal carriages, making groping easier to get away with and an even MORE common, thus making false accusations more and more common and lucrative.

Mad scientist
Separating men and women would be wrong in so many ways. Not only would it not prevent incidents it would also cause capacity issues. We know it happens in crowded trains and if half the train is for men and the other half is for women then it's a problem if twice as many men shows up than women.
Installing security cameras would likely be cheaper than dealing with the capacity problems and odds are that people working together on acts like this would be recorded together elsewhere.
Also if men and women aren't allowed to be together anymore then Japan would just worsen the lack of children issue.

Sure isn't a easy sollution to this problem, but I think separate people isn`t good too... The principal problem is japanese mentallity itself, if some pervet touch you, simply hit him or scream!

rather than having men and women carriages only which will create too much administrative work and timing of train a big problem. why not divide the space for females and males only.dividing each cabin accordingly

I'd probably ride the man only train to avoid getting falsely accused, or, if I can help it, just not stand by a girl in the train. Do the women only ones cost more/less for the women to use, or are they paying the same price?

It's a shame that this issue got to such a point that they had to resort to such a measure. These are the kind of situations you see commonly in manga like GTO, where it is considered funny, but when it comes right down to it, in real life it's pretty messed up. But it seems it will probably calm down after a while seeing as both men and women are now capable of being victimized. Though they are going after innocent people, what these young girls are doing will most likely make old pervs too paranoid to pull anything.

The answer is obvious once you adopt the proper mindset.
'No' to segregated cars on trains.
'Yes' to separate 'limited express' (extra-charge) molester trains.
This way, people who want to molest and | or be molested would have their own train, and would pay an additional amount [a 'non-seating' charge] for carriage.
