Bus: Women Only!


Socially, I'd say there's a problem in Mexico City. Their transportation system handles twice the load as New York City's. Apparently there's been a growing problem where the women of Mexico City have been complaining of groping and verbal abuse from men. So, it's been decided to add "Women Only" buses to certain routes. Trains in Mexico City already have designated cars for women & children.
In the Army, as an enlisted man. stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, the WACs were permitted to eat in the NCO dining hall - apart from the enlisted men - for the same reason. This didn't bother me except for my suspicions that the NCOs were getting fresh food and we, the EMs, were getting the leftovers.
