message: Let me get this straight. There is a mention, in the Reaction to sexual segregation section, of those mentally sick people who actually approve of this. There is a mention in the reaction section of "tolerating various smells" as if males are some sort of disease. There is mention of false accusations being allayed. There is a mention of overcrowding in other cars. There is even a mention of how women are the victims of this due to increased risk! The ridiculous charade continues: even the embarrassing experiences of blind people are mentioned.
Am I the only Man on the planet? If so, I will submit the following to your Reaction section on behalf of a historical race of people called sexual equalitists.
The use of women only compartments in anything, vehicle or not, is sexual discrimination against the Male race. 
We didnt approve of white-only carraiges early in the last century. Why, then, am I the only one who has raised objection to such a thing in this website?! Is this the Truman show?!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.144.242 (talk) 09:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

message: While women are the primary target, young male children and old men may ride them as well. I do not recall the exact age limits. Bendono 07:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding is that most (all?) rail operators allow young boys and disabled male passengers to ride these cars if accompanied by a female, but a citation is needed if this is to be included in the main article. DAJF 08:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

text: According to the TV clip on the Anti-Women-Only-Passenger Car Group web site, the carriages are 任意で "voluntarily" only for women and that young men and disabled males can board them even without going against the "voluntary" prohibition.--Timtak (talk) 01:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The subway in Cairo also has women-only cars. The reasons are of course not exactly the same, but it's comparable and relevant, if anyone wants to do the research. 84.94.89.206 09:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This weekend, I got a leaflet in my mailbox from a group named "女性専用車両に反対する会" (Association against Women-only passenger cars).  It has the audacity to compare the prejudice against men (caused by a few chikan) with Apartheid, and may go on to make other points; but, I really couldn't make it past the first paragraph.  I can scan it (minus the web site and bank account information) if anyone thinks it would be worthwhile to the article.  Not many people on the English wikipedia can read Japanese, but, if this handout is not isolated to my area, it may add a bit to the article just by showing the flyer as an illustration of the depth of the dislike that some people hold for the system...

replies: text: They have a Japanese language website with a lot of information about this issue. --Timtak (talk) 01:50, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

text: I suggest adding a controversy section regardless. This is a pretty touchy issue. Many critics suggest it is a terrible idea since it does violate the entire ideology of feminism since it is for gender equality, whereas proponents think it protects women against sexual assault.

message: Why is the stupid section about Israel in this page?
It is not relevant - it talks about males and females seperated in the same car, not about female only cars.
It is not sourced - two links to blogs are hardly source. 
It is wrong - there are no gender segregated bus lines in Israel, by order of the supreme court.
All this is well described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehadrin_bus_lines

replies: text: I agree. The section on Israel was trying to present the issue of bus sex segregation (men at the front, women at the back) as being a "women-only carriage" situation when it's much more complicated. It was essentially an apologetic ultra-Orthodox view of this issue. There's a full article on these buses at Mehadrin bus lines. I don't have time to rewrite the section here but the text was so bad that I've removed it and left a link to the fuller Mehadrin bus lines piece. If someone wants to summarise that article for the section here that'd be great Ariehkovler (talk) 23:01, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
