Women only trains should be abolished. First, this system originally started as coping with a lot of trouble or grope. Actually even if there are their carriages, any women don’t use. According to data of the national police agency, the number of grope occurred in metropolitan area is seven case per days. Certainly, some molester might decrease than several years ago, however it wasn’t a quite effective system. Second, women only trains prevent people from taking trains smoothly. We transferred trains many times every day. There are often women trains at the end of platform, and almost all of men must get on the distant normal carriages. It’s very hard and inconvenient. Lastly, women only trains are good for women, but it is unequal for men. For example, when man transfer train hastily, the man gets on a women only trains by mistake. Afterward the man will be stared at by women with cold eyes. Furthermore, I have encountered one situation. When an elderly man got on a train, a woman said "You cannot get on here because this is a women only train ". Every person over 70 years old is able to utilize women only trains. It was very strange. Consequently, nowadays　Japan is equality of the sexes therefore women only trains don’t need. Or men only trains should be promote.
