Men Masturbation Public Transit

It's bad enough seeing another bus passenger masturbate during your commute—but seeing your bus driver in the act? And while driving the bus through traffic and into the Lincoln Tunnel? That's what one NJ Transit passenger saw and she was so upset that she filmed driver George Simpson to bring the matter to the agency's attention. The outrage, the danger he was putting the other passengers in and the other commuters, it is unspeakable. He said, "She was sitting directly opposite the bus driver in the first row of seats," and noted how she filmed "other cars around. As you can see the walls of the tunnel are on the left side.

There have been two recent known accounts of sexual harassment on public transport in the last couple of weeks. It escalated to him masturbating in public and when she told him she would call the police he threatened to rape her before abruptly getting off the train. While this is bad enough, when the woman called the helpline and told whoever she was speaking to on the phone about what had happened to her, he proceeded to laugh and then hang up. After her story went viral, Deputy Commissioner of Police Purushottam Karad said that he would investigate the matter. We will talk to the woman.

As the MeToo campaign draws attention to the pervasiveness of aggression and assault targeting women, Portland State University Planning Professor Jennifer Dill has been giving some thought to how sexual harassment affects the way women travel. A recent piece by Martine Powers in the Washington Post reviewed the ample evidence that sexual harassment remains alarmingly common on transit. Riffing off that story, Portland State University professor Jennifer Dill writes at her blog about how women are harassed when traveling in public in any way — be it walking, biking, riding transit, or even flying. She and her research team surveyed transit operators throughout the U. The reasons given for not putting specific programs in place fell into two categories.

Nearly women have shared their experiences with the initiative Screengrab Them, a social media account set up to document the harassment women face both in public and online. Zan Moon founded the movement after the murder of Sarah Everard and has presented a dossier of the accounts to the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. This happens often.
