1. Surge in REPORTING of groping on trains.
You've fallen for a common fallacy.

3. I read a short story about a young Japanese woman, she mentioned
this.

Her mother committed suicide.

Man they are just eaten up with corporatism as a culture.

My Japanses bosses and co-workers at my old company used to come in with first shift, around 8:00 a.m, and leave at 11:00 at night.

But she talked about riding the train, and getting grabbed, and all the men reading porno mags...

4. Woops, sounds like my search for a laugh has backfired...
It may have been insensitive I guess. It just seemed funny to me at the time, thinking about the Gropenator and all.
