BEIJING – For women in Shanghai looking to beat the heat this summer with skimpier clothes, the city’s subway authorities have a message: dress appropriately or be ready to deal with the inevitable sexual harassment.

The controversy online started on June 20 when someone posted on the Shanghai Number 2 Subway Line official Weibo account – Chinese version of Twitter – a picture of a female passenger wearing a revealing dress with the comment: “If that’s what you wear on the subway, then no wonder you will be sexually harassed! There are perverts riding the subway every day and we can’t catch them all. Girls, you’ve got to respect yourself!”

Also FTA.....

“First I think the Metro has no right to insult others, especially their passengers. It’s a matter of professional decency,” wrote Hao Junbo, a lawyer on Weibo. “If the Metro published this person’s picture without approval beforehand, it violates the passenger’s rights.”

Responding to the criticism, Lan Tian, a press officer for Shanghai Shentong Metro Group, the authority that runs the Shanghai subway, justified the company’s comments to the Chinese state newspaper Global Times.

“As the city’s subway operator, we have the responsibility to warn women of the potential danger of sexual harassment on the subway,” he told the Global Times. “At the same time, we are not justifying any kind of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior.”

Nevertheless, perhaps inspired by the general sentiment expressed online, a couple days later on June 24, several women went to another subway station in Shanghai to protest the Weibo post by the Shanghai Metro.

Donning black veils that covered their faces and holding signs that said things like, “Just because I’m slutty doesn’t mean you can be dirty,” the girls rode the subway in an attempt to call attention to the issue.

Why is it looking at the geometric proofs of how men look at panties I think of the “math is hard” Barbie?

Good for Zhejiang Province (I've been there many times). Such a diagram should be in church bulletins in the USA.

No law is made here. It is good advice.

It makes sense, too.

An evangelist recently told how that a church invited him to preach.

When the evangelist entered the church building, he quickly turned around and ran outside to get another look at the facade of the church building ---- he thought he had entered a KFC by mistake.

He said that all he could see inside were thighs and breasts.

The next evening, the church ladies came dressed more appropriately.

The world is a rough and often miserable place, and I’m glad I’m an Old Man on the way out.

But... every once in a while... I wish I were twenty-five again.

This is common sense. Women who whine about their right not to be sexually harassed whilst dressed like harlots belong in the same category as morons who walk alone through dark alleys in bad areas dripping in designer clothes and flashing a rolex, or who leave their doors and windows wide open when leaving the house.
Idiots who try to engage with the world as if it was how they wish it was, rather than as it actually is, will inevitably suffer for it...

If my high school textbooks had graphics like that, trigonometry class would have been much more fun!

Girl: "Why are you starting at me like that?"

Boy: "I'm just trying to do my homework, I'm calculating the slope of the radius from my eyes to the edge of your skirt."
