    Wow. Rather than going through the trouble to start enforcing civility in their community, Mexico City’s transportation system has decided to start segregating buses by the sexes, all in the name of ’safety’.

    The first three cars on the subway are already reserved for women and children and it’s working so well that they are now trying the whole segregation idea on buses, because you know it’s easier to fix a problem if you eliminate the conditions that may have caused it, by sticking your head in the sand.

    Mexico City has started a women-only bus service to protect female passengers from groping and verbal abuse common on the city’s packed public transportation system.

    Millions of people cram into subway trains and buses in the Mexican capital, one of the world’s largest cities, and women have long complained of abuse from men taking advantage of overcrowding to sneak in an inappropriate grab.

    While there are a lot of men who are pigs, are they saying that men are the only ones capable of inappropriate behavior? Seriously? I doubt it. Even the article I am referencing has a comment from a woman who says there are aggressive women too.

    How far will they take the whole segregation of the sexes thing anyway? First trains, then buses, then what? Are we going to see guys selling a used Rolex or something in a trenchcoat? Will women cross the street on one sidewalk and men on the other? God forbid they share a drinking fountain.

    What’s next?

    How flawed is a society that it resorts to forced segregation rather than enforced socialization to solve it’s problems?
