Above all, I appreciate your attention in my presentation-The women-only cars in the subway. As preparing this presentation, I searched many positions on for and against. I think that the purpose to decrease sexual harassment rate is good, but that the way is wrong.
First, it is right to operate not advice system but legal monitoring system to present sexual harassment. After the women-only cars are installed, if a sexual harassment is happened, it is deeply served as the foundational thought that the victim and assailant have shoulder the responsibility. To make ‘safe subway’, subway should be safe literally. It is wrong to request a person to exploit a subway safely. As a result, this is what shifts the responsibility of a service provider to a consumer. So, I think that the construction of more reinforced monitoring system must take precedence rather than the women-only cars.
Secondly, for women to utilize the women-only cars is not duty but a right. So, when the women-only cars are full, one will go general cars to search for empty seat or comfortable position. In this situation happened sexual harassment could be interpreted strangely as it is happened because a woman gives up woman’s right. In plain language, it makes the thought that the woman who doesn’t utilize the women-only cars is the woman who exposes herself to the risk of sexual harassment. Although women have the right to utilize general cars equally, this system tacitly deprives a woman of the social right to use the general cars.
I agree with you about the complication of having women-only subway cars and how such an optional service could have negative on the women them self using normal cars.
답글삭제I agree with some part of your opinion that if women only cars are full then she will go veneral cars and she exposes herself to the risk of sexual harrassment. But those women who are in women-only car are safe. And also we can't get rid of those such crime but by introducing this system we can reduce it.
