'A GROUP of male passengers travelling in a female-only carriage on New Delhi's new metro system were ordered to do sit-ups on the platform by the furious women, according to reports.

At least one carriage is reserved for women on every metro train in the Indian capital, where female residents and tourists have complained about sexual harassment on public transport for decades.

The metro has also become severely congested with the lines expanding into the suburbs over the last year and most regular carriages packed to capacity.

The Times of India said on Saturday police led a crackdown at a station in Gurgaon, a booming satellite development on the outskirts of Delhi, after a series of complaints - and women passengers joined in the action.

"Not only were the unruly commuters made to shell out a fine of 250 rupees ($A5.50), angry women slapped some of them and forced them to do sit-ups,'' the Times reported.'

    angry women slapped some of them and forced them to do sit-ups

It's bad enough that the laws in the developed world are becoming more anti-male, but regular women themselves are becoming more anti-male. Paraphrasing a commenter on another site:

"Nowadays, the most radical MRA is less misogynous than the average woman is misandrous."
