Summary
Berlin lawmaker Antje Kapek of the Green Party proposed introducing women-only carriages on the city’s underground trains to enhance safety, inspired by a similar approach in Tokyo.
Kapek cited rising nighttime attacks on women and crowded evening conditions as reasons for the measure, which is still a proposal without legislative backing.
Her suggestion follows a recent rape case on the Berlin metro. The city’s BVG transport authority expressed doubts, arguing current safety measures, including 250 security staff and emergency contact points, are sufficient.
Its not about fighting rapists, It’s about letting women have an environment where they can feel safe.
Another safe environment is one where the woman reflexively punches the assailant’s gob, and the other men around look at him in a “what did you think would happen?” kind of way, backing her up, because self-defence is understood to be completely legitimate and justified.
Y’all need more shield maidens wherever it is that you’re from.
While making young men and boys feel like they’re dangerous wolves who people fear. That’s awesome for self esteem I hear
This isn’t about them. A disproportionate amount of women are victims of violence, sexual assault, and rape. Their safety should take priority over the feelings of others. If a man actually sympathizes with this they wouldn’t have their self esteem take a hit and would instead understand why actions like this are necessary as we work to address this issue in our society.
I was raped. I’m a man. Oh right, men aren’t victims, ever.
I never said that buddy.
this person claims to be a lot of different kinds of victim in his comment history. however, some of them conflict with other things he has said. take his claims with a grain of salt, at least some of them are untrue.

A significant number of men follow influencers who tell them exactly those things. They like being dangerous wolves that people fear, it is great for their self esteem.
The whole alpha thing? Wasn’t it found that the whole alpha wolf thing is only something that happens in captivity? They don’t do that in the wild
Doesn’t stop men from loving the idea. See the current adoration of rapist mike tyson on lemmy.
