New campaign by the British Transport Police aims to reduce assault on public transit

Hope it works. I'll have to be extra careful next time I travel in the U.K!

Tenn, you should have put "sexual" in the title. I though this was about passengers beaten up.

"Japanese men also molest women, therefore you should be okay with non-whites being overrepresented in sexual assaults in European countries."

:thinking:

Please point out the part of the article that made any reference whatsoever to the origin of those committing the assaults.

London is not that expensive as people make it to be.

And it'll only be cheaper once the economy really crashes.

I mean sure it's expensive as hell if you want to live in first few zones with all them City boys and millionaires around the world.

There's CCTV in most public transport now and statistically it's men that are most of risk of a proper assault not some snowflake being "creeped" out.

It shows why people have a right to travel and shouldn't be forced to use public transport.

and rubbing your crotch on another person

I can't speak for everyone, but as a brotha, this just kinda happens from time to time.. Not purposefully but for some of us, we are working with monsters.
So if my hang dang just happens to brush up against you on a train, not a whole lot to be done but stuff it back into my shoe.

21-year-old Rebecca* is one such woman: “I was on the tube in London - it was a really empty carriage and opposite me was this old guy who was creepily staring at me,” she explained to The Independent.

How does one stare "creepily"? How does she know ole dude wasn't just day dreaming and happened to be looking in her direction.. I know when I would take the SLUT in Washington I would just stare off into space until I reached my destination. I mean I guess it could easily be misconstrued as "staring creepily", but that is just cuz my ugly ass face looks that way.

So my question for women in general is... in a world where men cannot always control themselves, cannot always be held accountable and/or cannot always be trusted, why wear anything but a plain T-shirt and some jeans? The Rebecca girl talking about how someone leering up her skirt is a invasion of privacy and I'll 100% agree with her, but I'll also agree with the notion that her entire victimization situation could have been avoided with a simpler choice of attire.

That's what I don't get. People that are trying to look sexy in public complaining other people are looking at them in public. If you didn't want the looks, why are you dressing for the looks? Does it empower you?

Does this empowering go away when someone looks at you in public? And if the empowering feeling does go away, what was the point in it?
