Over Half of Women Afraid to Use Public Transport as Assaults, Robbery Common
Breitbart London ^ | April 20, 2017 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 04/20/2017 8:41:35 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A new study by the Paris Region Planning and Development Agency (IAU) has found that 56 per cent of women are afraid to use public transport due to concerns over sex attacks and theft.

Le Parisien reports respondents’ insecurity as a “legitimate fear”, noting that 37-per-cent of robberies without violence and 39-per-cent of sexual assaults against women are carried out on public transport and at train stations.

“Amongst female respondents, the fear of being attacked or robbed is so strong it prevents them from using public transport,” the IAU said.

“Women are four times more likely (6.2 per cent) to declare avoiding at least one mode of public transport for fear of aggression or theft than men (1.7 per cent).”

Covering up (with regards to clothing choices) and avoiding travelling alone are common tactics women use to minimise their risk whilst using public transport, according to Le Parisien.

“I identify anything that could be a possible source of trouble, so I can get away from it as much as possible,” said a woman named as Cécile.

Another woman, Clementine, told the French newspaper she makes sure never to be alone when using public transport and will seek out “women, families and couples” to sit near to.

Well, these women need to stop their Islamophobic behavior and embrace more diversity.

The Left LOVES to tell the plebes how egalitarian and politically correct it is to use public transportation!

And so _affordable,_ too!

Oh how can this be.

I’ve been saying for decades that people are at risk on these public transportation systems. The government and many others disagreed with me.

I learned my lesson one morning while using a bus to get to work.

A nice attractive middle aged woman got on at a stop just after mine. She wasn’t a knock out, but she was very professional looking.

Moments later a male rider from back in the bus walked to where she was seated and tried to engage her in conversation. She clearly wasn’t interested.

I was ten feet from her, and I could smell the urine on his clothes from my seat. Before I could say anything, the next stop came and she was gone. She obviously opted to get the next bus in thirty minutes.

This could just as easily have been a robbery or some other type of incident.

I would have serious concern for a woman being exposed to this sort of thing day in and day out.

As a result, the government has decided that women in Paris will be facing stiff fines unless they make themselves more available for assault.

56% of women fear public transit

How many of the 44% Think public transit is safer than their own homes ?

Oh, my darling, just keep voting for the stooges that allow islam filth and other illegals in to your country. You’ll be fine.

Get used to it because your ignorance is their fantasy.

The same folks who hold up signs welcoming these poor immigrant souls.

Well, sometimes people won’t learn things unless it’s the hard way.

Yup !

Liberalism/Progressivism has become so mental in Western Europe that belief in a backlash may be an illusion.

If it hasn’t happened by now, itis not going to happen.

I think it is more likely that these people will end up as slaves to moslems, and will still be blaming themselves.

At some point you just have to consider that this is what they really want and they don’t deserve any more sympathy.

These attacks are not new, the problems are not new, they have had years to witness consider the results of what they voted for in the past, and if they vote for another immigrationist socialist to bring them more moslemist massacres and murders, I don’t see what conclusions are available other than that it is what they really want.

“Sharia” means law. “Sharia law” is redundant. It is just “sharia”.
