British Socialist’s Latest Idea: Women-Only Train Cars

Article here. Excerpt:

'British politician Jeremy Corbyn proposed reinstalling female-only train cars on Wednesday as a solution to a reported increase in sexual harassment on public transit. The candidate for the Labour Party’s leadership post also proposed a 24-hour hotline so women can report perceived sexual offenses as soon as they occur.

Rail carriages reserved exclusively for women existed on British trains for nearly 100 years, until 1977; until now, no public figure as high-profile as Corbyn, who has developed a reputation for proposing radical solutions to social problems, has talked publicly of reviving the practice.'
