this morning, Guangzhou Metro announced that after careful study, it decided to take the lead in the pilot work of women's carriages on line 1 from June 28. So what Xiaobian wants to ask is, can setting up female carriage really prevent sexual harassment? Can a man ride during rush hours? These are all worthy of consideration.
Can women's cars really prevent sexual harassment?
Once the subway opens a special carriage for women, we are bound to usher in a new argument of 'denouncing the victims':' who told you not to go to the special carriage for women, to be crowded with men here, to be harassed and deserve it '; or even' you don't go to the special carriage for women, to be crowded with men here, it's not clear that it's to flirt with and seduce men, how can you have the face to accuse others in turn Harass you '.

In other words, once a female special carriage is set up, any female who stays in the 'public carriage' will face additional stigmatization problems. According to this' prevention of sexual harassment 'idea, in order to' protect women 'as much as possible, more and more female special carriages will be added, and the proportion of' public carriage 'will be gradually reduced to zero, eventually leading to a complete male in public transport Female isolation.
If there is a complete separation of men and women in the final public transport, it is a very terrible scene. But as mentioned above, even if we don't go this far, we only symbolically set up one or two women's special carriages and partially segregate men and women, which has already contributed to the criticism of the victims and acquiesced to and connived at the normalization of sexual harassment in public.
