Saw on the news tonight that my city (in Japan) has designated more women-only subway cars

[betsuni]

on yet another train line, because pervs; showed little schoolgirls and women exiting the special cars. It's 2016. This is depressing. It never ends.

1. It never ends is the saddest statement today. True!!!

Someday I hope women will be valued and not sex objects!

2. Japan seems infested with sicko perverts.

I find a lot of Anime unwatchable because it is full of the sexualization of little girls.

4. Claim: Vending machines in Japan offer for sale panties purportedly worn by schoolgirls.

Claim: Vending machines in Japan offer for sale panties purportedly worn by schoolgirls.

Status: True.

Origins: Used underwear that has supposedly been previously worn by schoolgirls is being offered for sale in vending machines in Japan. Though we don't know the current price for such items, in 1993 they sold for the equivalent of US $50 apiece.

We'd read that this practice ended in 1993 and reported as much in the original of this article (which was penned in 2001), but since that time numerous readers living in Japan have written to say that not only haven't the machines gone away, but that they've themselves seen them.

Japan is a very strange place in this respect.

7. That's disgusting!

In more ways than one!

5. It freaks me out to see these music groups of young women dressed in frilly dresses

and knee socks like little girls and the vast majority of the audience are adult men. There's a little convenience store down the street with a large soft porn magazine collection: it's disconcerting to be looking at the potato chips and turn around to see a young woman in a school uniform tied up and gagged on a magazine cover. Ugh.

3. NYC

The NYC Police said they are putting undercover female cops on crowded subway trains to catch molesters. However, articles I have read say the problem is worse in other cities around the world than in NYC.

6. There is a real panty fetish in Japan.

From my studies it is due to MacArthur's ban on explicit erotica. All the models had to wear panties.
