Discrimination against men

Given the fact that women get groped in markets, public transport and in other crowded areas, I fully support the fact that there are ladies' compartments in local trains in Bombay. But every policy has to have limits. I was shocked this morning when I noticed that local buses now reserve almost the entire left side of the bus for women! This is ridiculous. For women who support this policy, I wonder whether they think that equality means extra privileges?
