Yes. I now have another reason to try and avoid rush hour.

At first I thought it was an accident and discreetly turned my body away. He moved with me. I got off at the next station, stood next to a bunch of women and waited for the next train instead...

You really do see the best and the worst of men in London.

You should have stuck your foot behind you rather hard and rather high thats really distrubing

I think this point has already made, but I'm going to reiterate it as it's my opinion.

As a man, I personally could not care less if loose women wish to make sexist remarks, I'll change the TV channel.
I don't mind if someone doesn't want a male tenant renting their property, I'll find somewhere else to live. I don't mind women only gyms, I understand some women's discomfort with multi-sex gyms and I'll take my business elsewhere - their loss.

What really gets me peeved is the double standards. The uproar that "Loose Men" or "Men-only" gyms/clubs/tenancy agreements etc would cause makes me so angry. Either women want equality, in which case it works both ways, or they don't, in which case I am quite happy reverting to the 1950's your choice. Naturally this argument extends beyond sexism to all forms of discrimination...

I should probably mention that there are some circumstances where I could care less about active discrimination though (not simply the mere double standards that would accompany it). I've known of several instances where a woman was employed purely for her gender, and also two ethnic minorities simply to meet a quota. There's no feasible way of determining when this is the case in general, but it is wholly unacceptable.

a grand total of zero, still scratching my head wondering what this has to do with anything?!?

It is one thing to be squished in with people, it is another when there is someone with an erection subtley rubbing himself on you.

or a lady rubbing up their lady part on a man who blatently doesn't like the attention. I'll say it again it works both ways!
