Shanghai Metro Asks Women to Wear More Clothing in Public
2012-06-29 15:21:41Some women in Shanghai were outraged over the weekend about the Shanghai Metro asking them on a micro blog to wear more clothing in public.
The blog attracted opposition from women, some of whom held signs and protested against the blog's comments in the Shanghai subway on Sunday.
Shanghai No 2 Subway Co published a micro blog attached with an image on Sina Weibo, saying it's not surprising for women to be harassed in the subway if they are wearing revealing clothing and called on women to cherish themselves.
The blog post attracted much opposition from netizens and some commented by saying a women's choice to wear what she chooses can not be an excuse for sexual harassment.
"According to this logic, all men can harass women in swimming pools?" wrote a netizen.
But still some supported the metro's blog post and said it's common sense and public ethic to dress conservatively in public places.
