TOKYO (Reuters) - Many women taking the crowded train in Tokyo opt for women-only carriages during the rush hour to avoid gropers.

Now, for fear of being accused of groping, some are asking for carriages reserved for men as well.

Ten shareholders of Seibu Holdings, which runs trains in the Tokyo area, have petitioned for carriages reserved for men.

"There have been many cases of groping, as well as false charges of groping, on Seibu Railway," the shareholders said in a notice seeking a vote at the company's annual meeting next Wednesday.

"While measures against groping, such as setting women-only carriages, have been effective to a certain extent, no measures have been taken against false charges of groping... In the spirit of gender-equality, a male-only carriage must be introduced."

False accusations of groping were highlighted when Japan's Supreme Court overturned in April the conviction of a professor for groping a girl on a Tokyo train.

Judges pointed out a need to be careful in such cases when the accuser was the only source of evidence, media said.

But the shareholder request for men's carriages may not be implemented, as Seibu's board of directors opposes the idea.

"The reality is that we have few requests from Seibu Railway users for setting up male-only carriages," the board said in its reply to the shareholder request.

In Tokyo, around 2,000 people were arrested for groping in 2007, data from the police showed. Many crowded train lines, including Seibu lines, designate a carriage just for women during the rush hour.

Make Women think all men are Perverts. Most are, but not all.:)

[wake_up_bomb]

If you've created women-only carriages, haven't you already created men-only carriages by definition?

[drhemp]

Japanese trains are brilliant, much nicer than ours, though I don't remember female only carriages :D I loved riding round Tokyo on their metro.

I was felt up on a train in Italy by some Italian women... Stroking my athletic legs with her feet, looking all suggestive like... we ended up in a hotel room in Rimini... where nothing happened but sleep... :D

And on another train in Italy, some Englishwoman (I heard her speaking) flashed her centre of excellence at me for about two hours as my girlfriend dozed away at my side.

Trains hey...

Boomm tiidddy boomm, boomm, tiddy boomm, raddiddy tatt, raddiddy tatt...

Places where primeval urges come to the fore...

I have more train stories....

But they're all rather old now....

I can't see myself getting felt up or flashed at anymore.... :(

I'm more likely to be offered a seat... :D

I had them :(

Past tense... Very much so....

Things like this were always happening to me when I was younger... :D

When I was in the RAF as a very young bloke, we had strippers in the NAAFI and they were all over me, it really was amazing, although I did nothing but sit on my chair and smile...

Some of the other blokes really hated me for that... :rolleyes:

I was just smiling, while the other blokes were grunting and yelling... Maybe that was the difference...

I always respected women and loved them for their beauty...

Maybe it was something to do with that...

Some energy level thing...

And I was very cute... :p

Past tense again! :D

LMAO, that has cheered me up "centre of excellence" that really tickled me. You have an excellent turn of phrase :D

You seem to pick some good trains to travel on!

An elderly Indian gentleman offered me £5 to go back to his place at Barking station. And someone offered me a strange spliff :confused: :eek: (I never did find out what was in it but after smoking it I felt strange but also good)which did not contain cannabis, also at Barking. An African genltleman also mistook me for a lady of the night - also at Barking.

I need to travel on more European trains

[jammasterj13]

Only in Japan.:D

I don't think it's quite the same for women... :rolleyes:

£5! :eek: What an insult! You get a fiver for shaking his hand! And I mean hand!

** I heard some horror stories from girls travelling through Italy... :eek:

I was fortunate enough to see a centre of excellence, but there are leaning tower's of pisa poking out of Italian trousers on any train you care to board...
