This topic makes me think of the safe stop rule TTC has. At night (during specific hours) on TTC busses women can request the bus driver to stop and let them out where they want to get off. Now, I wonder if I were to try would this rule also apply for males...

I get your point, but males do not have to worry about their punani being violated. The said women don't want to be gawked at in the gym, but not afraid of being violated.
So I've been thinking of alternate solutions myself and came up with this one;
I understand the modesty requirement in Islam, and not showing curves of their body. Corporations also understood this demand when women had the same dillema in swimming pools and beaches. They created compliant swimwear such as the pic below, and I have already seen a person wearing one recently, made by Nike.
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. |
