So I've been thinking of alternate solutions myself and came up with this one;

So I'm asking, why can't it be possible creating compliant athletic wear for gyms?


Well I don't care about the TTC thingy, all the power to them. Just wondering if I can use that service as well :P haha

As for the athlethic wear, that is a really really good point/question...

I don't think anything like that ever happened in the Church and Wellesley area, so don't worry about it.

The thing is....you should be able to use that service if you feel uncomfortable walking from the bus stop to where you are going....regardless of whether you are male or female. I can just imagine the lawsuit if some guy asked to be dropped off at a certain point and the bus driver said no and then the guy got assaulted.

I totally see where you guys are coming from and I agree for the most part. However, I can't help but think that it's totally different for a man to be walking alone down the street at night than for a girl.

Not implying the idea of "the weaker sex" here at all... I'm just saying - generally speaking I think more women are concerned with that kind of thing.

Most guys wouldn't use the service simply because it isn't manly to be scared to walk home. The issue is that it should still be available to everyone....regardless of sex and it should be advertised as such....that being said....I know a lot of people that would abuse something like this as well.

I very rarely goto the gym.. one of my friends used his guest pass to let me in and I worked out for an hour.. then i look over and theres this section of the gym that I didn't even touch.. and so I look at these weird machines and i really don't know how to use them.. So i see this girl doing this thing with her butt. . like butt crunch machine!! and i was like, , YAAAhhhh im doing that!!! so i get on it.. feel very uncomfortable and i start doing these butt crunches.. after like 10 minutes of that my buddy comes over and tells me those machines are for women only!!! I then realized why these girls were laughing at me.. i didn't care.. my butt got nice and firm!! soo TIGHT!

Which machines are those? Just so I know when I work out not to use these special "girly" machines.

Lone men are more likely to get beaten and robbed late at night than women getting sexually assaulted.

Reading that AJ, I don't doubt it. Down town Hammerbomb isn't safe for anyone to walk around at night.
I'm sure you noticed my hesistant tone in that last post... I'm just saying that traditionally women are more of an icon in that kind of situation.

If pepper spray was advertised on TV, it would show a female using it on a male assailant.

It's problematic in the sense that it victimizes one sex while ignoring potential dangers posed to the other. Anyone should be able to benefit from a system that allows them to avoid sketchy situations - I'm not surprised by the TTC's gender selectivity, is all.

I advocate that every woman carry a beating stick.

Or a lead pipe. That's pretty nice too

why don't you go try it out?

I have a solution. Offer the same amount of hours exclusively to men as well. Or, cancel the exclusivity altogether.

After all whats fair is fair and whats equal is equal right?

I still don't think Harvard is doing enough to shelter its Muslim population from the evils of the Western ways practised by the rest of the student body. Prominent drug (incl. alcohol) use, sex, profanity, ATHEISM - how is a devout Muslim supposed to be able to concentrate on his/her studies under these conditions? They should segregate all the Muslim students into a separate Muslim mini-campus within the main campus. That way the Muslim men won't be tempted by the skimpy and immoral attires of the Harvard females. Then, as a sign of their complete tolerance to the Muslims, they should fence off the Muslim mini-campus, and draw sand dunes on the inside of the walls to make the Muslims feel right at home. This sort of compromise would make everyone their happiest.
