''Women-only coaches'' have been introduced on the Tokyo underground and the same exists in Brazil and Philippines. In Britain before World War II, ''women-only compartments'' were introduced on the railways.== Allegations of sexism against men ==
=== Women-only accomodations ==="Women-only coaches" are becoming increasingly popular in large cities in Japan, Brazil, and Phillipines. While proponents of these coaches say they are an effort to prevent rampant sexual harassment on trains <ref>64% of Tokyo women stated that they had been groped in trains.[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article394630.ece]</ref><ref>[http://www.womensenews.org/article.cfm?aid=2750]</ref>, others believe that this [[segregation]] is an instance of sexism against men. Similar female-only accomodations are institutionalized in Muslim countries such as [[Saudi Arabia]]. In Britain there are ''women-only library sessions'', ''women-only swimming sessions'' in public swimming baths and ''women-only gyms''. Feminists do not protest against any of these women-only spaces, but they have campaigned to remove ''men-only spaces'' such as ''gentlemen's clubs'' in London, and ''working men's clubs'' elsewhere in Britain. Feminists have also campaigned to allow women join ''sports clubs'' that were previously men-only such as ''golf clubs'' and ''golf tournaments'' ''(but not to allow men into the equivalent female-only clubs)''.
In some countries, if a rest room for women in department stores or movie houses etc. are full, a woman is allowed to use one for men. ''But not vice versa.''

The feminists said they felt 'victimised', however, and convinced American women that they were 'discriminated against'. ''Never have the feminists been required to nor been able to produce a shred of statistical evidence to back up that claim.''
