i'm against single-sex previleges in theory, but i can't say no to "ladies' nights" at japanese bars, when you get two drinks for the price of one. and then there's the slightly more contentious "women-only carriage"...
of course it's ridiculous. it's sad that japanese men can't learn to keep their hands to themselves, that many women still find it hard to speak up, and that the only effective solution was to offer a single-sex refuge. but when i get to the platform and see a bunch of sweaty salarymen cramming into trains, and find the women's carriage always far less crowded, guess where i stand?
