Japanese men are increasingly desperate in the face of innumerable false or dubious accusations of groping on the nation’s trains, and with the presumption of guilt and no legal recourse face almost inevitable prosecution if accused.
The best advice on offer? Specialists working with police suggest following the five points below may allow a male passenger to reduce his chances of being falsely accused of molestation:
1. Don’t stand near the doors or corners of the carriage.
2. Grab the hanging strap with both hands.
3. Don’t stand next to a woman.
4. Put your baggage on the rack.
5. Don’t do anything which could be misconstrued.
Unfortunately, since police and courts almost invariably listen only to the woman’s version of events, all these can readily be counteracted by mistaken or malicious testimony, save in the presence of a sound alibi, a difficult thing to find on a train full of strangers resolutely ignoring one another.
70% of groping occurs in the morning rush hour, but men are advised to be on guard at night all the same, lest they be mistaken for a lecherous drunk by one of Japan’s princess caste.
If you are accused despite all this, someone involved in defending such wretches offers this advice:
“If you’re accused, the first thing you must do is keep calm and discuss it with your accuser. If you shout she may just be provoked, and that is the worst possible outcome. Don’t under any circumstances go straight to the station office, first call your lawyer and have them intercede.”
It may be wise to secure legal counsel ahead of time.
Of course, such charges do not emerge out of a vacuum, even if they do appear to be taken out of all proportion.

2ch offers its supplementary 5 ways of avoiding false arrest:
6. Don’t get on a bus or train.
7. Become a hikikomori.
8. Keep touching the man next to you.
9. Get on the carriage for perverts.
10. Dress as a woman.
Some can’t help but wonder if men-only carriages are the only way out of this predicament…

^ I am not in Japan but some SE country. A year ago, I was harassed with a suitcase + a grope by another man on the bus though I managed to get away in the end. T___T
^^ So, should I count that man as a groper or someone, avoiding from being accused of groping...? O.O
It's too bad this has to happen, the guys and girls in Japan aren't getting along too well enough as it is. Now the idea of meeting a nice person on the bus or train is dead, because that person might be a potential groper/false-accuser. Japanese trains must be full of shifty eyes.
Hey, that is what happens in a world where anti-sex idiocy and the idea that you should never be touched without your permission takes over.
Personally, I taught my children it's a 'first touch free' world, meaning that if someone touches you and you do not want them to, tell them not to do it again and only if they DO touch you again without asking for your permission first, should you raise a fuss.
Sounds somewhat reasonable, though it should only apply to brief potentially accidental brushing contacts I think.
This is the exact reason I cut off my arms. Now they can't accuse me of groping them. HA!
looks like they've given the hammer to women here. Then again, it seemed reasonable considering the issue at hand.
Yet, it could be used for bullying innocent boys..as in really innocent boys.
This espouses why I say that women AND men should just get used to being touched without their permission once in a awhile, and to tell the person "Hey, don't do that again!" and only raise a fuss if they do that again.
That is what I told my children and the children of other parents where I live: that it's a 'first touch free' world.
define "getting touch".
hopefully won't turn ugly especially for the female victim.
"4. Put your baggage on the rack"
Umm, couldn't that make for an even WORSE situation? D:
6.become a hikkikomori
LOL yeah~~~
ROFLMAO
I think the 2ch suggestions actually sound more feasible than the previous five suggested by the police.
"Keep touching the man next to you." LOL "How could I possibly be groping you? My hands were busy grabbing that guy's 'dolphin'!" ("Dolphin" as defined by our Danny Choo, in case you're wondering. :p )
Speaking of which, in the past, these chikan eroges usually have plain bastards as protagonists. Just your usual "dark side" eroge protagonists.
Nowadays, the eroge storywriters seem to favour casting our groping heroes in a more "sympathetic" light, by having them falsely accused by malicious women of the said crimes, and so they come out of jail, and exact revenge on those very women by committing the crimes that they were falsely accused of in the first place. Kinda like the chikan version of the A-Team.
Funny thing is.... that is actually what happens with people who are accused of sexual assault and spend time in prison when they are not guilty.
Once they get out, most times they figure "What the F! I was accused of this when I didn't do it..... so I WILL do it and get some payback on women for the false accusations against me!"
Really, I'll be blunt: we have made it WAAAAAAY too easy for a female to accuse someone of 'sexual molestation' or rape. They should be REQUIRED to take a lie-detector test to make sure that they are telling the truth before we get all hissy and start losing our reason.
I've had 2 friends and 3 relatives who were accused of rape by women..... and the 3 relatives had AIRTIGHT alibis that they couldn't have assaulted these females in question.
Once the police investigated...... they found out that the women in question had a vendetta against my relatives or were TOTALLY lying about remembering what their attacker looked like.
Hell, I've even been accused of 'groping' a girl, and although I AM a pedosexual... I didn't grope her..... I tripped over my own two feet, fell, and grabbed the first thing at hand..... which just happened to be the 12 year old girl's oversized boobs!
This happened when I was 18 (10 years ago) so it kinda soured me big time on the whole 'female crying unwanted touch'.
That was a wonderful story, thanks.
Eat really spicy food everyday. You'll be lucky to have anyone else in the car after a few minutes much less trying to set you up for molestation.
is it just me or is that pic LEGEN- wait for it- DARY! ;)
「女性差別撤廃条約議定書」に潜む危険は、国籍法と同じく、国家主権に直結していることなのです。
国連に、日本の「司法権」を委譲することになります。具体的に説明すると、現在、日本の司法制度は、三審制度を採用しています。ところが、この議定書を批准することにより、最終審の最高裁で敗訴した「事件」でも、個人及び団体が国連に訴える権利を認めることになります。要するに、現在の「三審制」を「四審制」に変えることになるのです。
これは、日本解体を望んでいるものに取って、「喉から手が出る」くらい欲していた法権力だったのです。

Well then I'll become an hikikomori dressed as a woman who get on the carriage for perverts to touch mens... or not, I'd rather follow advice 6 :D
I already do 6,8,9 and 10. What more could Japanese women want?

how to get momopan vol 6?
Women's rights has spread all around the globe.
If Men wish not to be subject to these laws then the Men of the world must overthrow their governments, brutally murder any woman who was weilding power over Men in this way, and do away with those who worked in the service of women against their fellow Man.
We live in a woman's world. A feminist world. The only thing that will lift the yoke from Men's knecks is war and (thus the likely death of those who fight in it).
This is unlikely.
Why don't the Japanese Men murder their police aswell as the women trying to have Men arrested and jailed? Men must murder their enemies (and never stop doing so) if they wish to be free.
When you are arrested, your life is likely over. You must understand this and commit your final act. Please bring to heaven or hell your attackers.
you scare me. gtfo, seriously. this guy should be IP banned off the internets as a whole.
You fail. Again.

I was wondering when I'd see this post again...
8. Keep touching the man next to you....
Yaranaika?
Interesting note:
A Google search of the word "Terrorise" currently yields this page as the second result.
i checked just now it was 6th, quite amazing page rank for a search result which don`t related to the topic of website context
Google gives excessive importance to the title - you can rank for all kinds of silly things if you put in a misleading title, a certain other high profile site in this genre does this all the time.
My result is not so good, but that we have serious PageRank power is well understood.
I just checked out the google search and it was second.Weird.
they should just seperate the country between the middle, women on the left and guys on the right. It's not like they get along anyways. 3D Pig disgusting and all that, lol.
The Anime Picture up there is soooo hot *.*
If Woman are so upset,the could just grope back...
this is a never ending chain no matter what u do!! if u make a mens only cab, then u'll get a bunch of fags groping other guys and have the same trouble. i say stick to fingering the ladys!!!!!
haha, those supplementary steps are awesome
I got ass groped on a cruise ship once, only took a second to round house that sucker. The man who did it towered over me, he was fat with orange curly hair and his sister looked at us and said, "That's what you get you slob"
If it was the cute asian guy standing next to him, i would have tolerated the grope a little longer :P
Someone might make money selling some sort of bubles that restrict the interaction with the exterior.
Or protest using a full body silicon suit XD
I wouldn't mind if a woman would touch me while I was riding the subway. Any guy who would try will get my foot in his groin (although it's hard to mistake me for a woman).
Might this article benefit from the "Misandry" tag as well?
So under Sharia Law, "a woman's word is worth half of a man's". It makes sense in this day and age.
crossdress~
that's the way to go~
:D
Why can't we just have equality?
Woman having a compartment all to themselves is sexist. Separating men and women will only increase the hype over "men are out to molest me!"
Men should not touch women without permission. Women should not touch men without permission. Neither should falsely accuse the other of molestation.
I think....sadly, number 10 almost makes the most sense out of all of those....and that's my opinion AS a girl. This really is out of hand. :S
How about, claiming you're gay.
negative tone of many of these comments makes me :(
wouldnt a picture where you fake a kiss with another dude as a wallpaper on ur mobile phone be the perfect way to denie something like this ?
aswell as a profile which says your gay on a profile site ?
i meen thats the only way id see outa there.
im for men only carriages tho..... woman altough hot are dangerous. if a woman accuses a man of something the man will always be the one biting the dust even if he didnt do it. same for a girl who dislikes her mothers new boyfriend. all she has to do is tell the cops he tried to rape her a couple of times and the guy goes to jail without having done such a thing
This would not be a perfect way to deny it, again: there are bisexuals, and there are sneaky guys willing to mislead others with plans like this.
Guys, what if we cut off our arms? Actually they'd probably say we brushed against them with our penis, there's no winning.
We could walk..
