ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?
Why We Oppose Women Travelling in Railway Trains
- Because travelling in trains is not a natural right.
- Because our great-grandmothers never asked to travel in trains.
- Because woman's place is the home, not the train.
- Because it is unnecessary; there is no point reached by a train that cannot be reached on foot.
- Because it will double the work of conductors, engineers and brakemen who are already overburdened.
- Because men smoke and play cards in trains. Is there any reason to believe that women will behave better?
