In 2007, there were buses in Israel that the orthodox Jews call "modesty buses," where men sat in the front and women in the back! do they not see a resemblance to the segregated buses in the US? Fanaticism and religious persons are just nuts! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6584661.stm

Ok! actually that's not what I was referring to. Yes some women may agree with it (the whole buss thing) for "practical" reasons.. but women I was referring to are the ones who agree upon "ideological/philosophical" reasons (i.e. religious women).. once again, as not all men liberal, the same thing goes for women.

Of course some women want that, but they only want it because they get harassed at every corner. If men stopped being so freakin patriarchal, zipped their pants up, thought a single thought beyond the objectification of women, then these women you are referring to would not want to be put in a different place.

If you ask me today and in the world i live in now as i am being objectified at all times, whether or not i would prefer to live in a world without men, my answer would be YES! i often wish men would disappear and leave me alone!

actually I agree to some part with joe.. some women want that and feel happier that way, not all women have liberal mentality

No, they do not want to protect the women, they want to say that women are sexual objects and need to be put separated from men, hidden away, kept off. Please, women do not need "protection" if men respected themselves and women, and were not so macho and ew.

Men need to learn that women are equal, they do not need to be protected, covered, put behind, hidden.

This upsets me so much! Stop protecting me and disrespecting me!!!! Leave me alone.

Good intentions, but bad application, I mean, I don't believe in separating men and women, and I didn't like what they're doing, but, mostly, what they wanted to do is protect the women, and obide by their religion's laws, and if you read the comments, you find that some women agree with this "Modety Buses" thing.
