Sounds like Isreal needs some Rosa Parks spunk mixed with a little "Harper Valley PTA" attitude.

There have been several such cases already. Note the Naomi Ragen article links I posted.

We never travel on these lines but my husband promised me that if we ever did, he would sit down right next to me (or me next to him - wherever we prefer to sit) and bloody the hell out of anyone who tries to stop him.

Chivalry is not dead. It just takes the car instead of the bus.

What a childish comparison.

You're comparing segragation of sexes for reasons of excesive modesty to hate of people because of the color of their skin? The men don't hate the women. This is even done with the full consent of many of these woman in this ultra-religious community.

And what difference would there be if these "modesty" buses are specifically in Germany? Why did you bring Germany up in particular? What special relevance would this have if it happened in Germany versus anywhere else in the world?

And what of the segragated trains in Japan?
