Mexico City metro's 'penis seat' sparks debate
When a new style of seat suddenly appeared on Mexico City's metro system, it was labelled as inappropriate, uncomfortable, humiliating and embarrassing.
It was supposed to be.

The seat, moulded to include a protruding penis and chest, was designed to highlight sexual harassment experienced by female passengers.

The explanation next to the men-only label read: "It is uncomfortable to sit here, but that is nothing compared to the sexual violence that women suffer on their daily journeys."

The seat is not a permanent fixture, but part of a campaign launched by UN Women and the Mexico City authorities called #NoEsDeHombres, which aimed to highlight sexual harassment on public transport.

What a joke.

Loafing is a skill, and Districte Federale bureaucrats, already well practiced in the art, just found a new way to loaf their lives away while the world's largest city burns.
But it also shows us the importance of having mentors. These guys are learning from the master himself- El Presidente Enrique Pena Nieto

What a joke.

Am I imagining it or are those manboobs and a pot belly next to the dick?

Got neck and shoulder pain from bad posture? Why not try these stretches?

The worst part of do nothing campaigns like this is the realization that mexico as a country is a shit hole for drug cartels. They would rather cater to the feelings of a handful of feminist "do nothings" than solve the drug cartel wars and assassinations of judges and politicians

Lets instead discuss the poverty, corruption, ultra violence, drug problem and other shit that plagues our country? No, ok than.

Lets talk about something that doesn't matter!

Agreed. When I think of Mexico's greatest social ills, I immediately think of men staring at women on crowded trains!

This crap would be funny if it wasn't being pedaled in a country where 1.5 people per 100 is either murdered/raped/robbed/assaulted in a given year(those are just the reported numbers...).

In my experience D.F. is a world unto itself.

The place is extraordinarily safe by Mexican standards. And that's half the problem. Issues like drug wars and homicides don't affect most people in D.F., hence why this bullshit gets onto the public transportation system.

Its only safe because it has hundreds or thousands of heavily armed military personnel ready to cut those cartel sicarios in half.

Their blackhawks have vulcan guns on them.

Cartels are only powerful where they're allowed to roam free. If a real military effort was made to pacify them they would be dead within a year but the corruption is so endemic and extends into their soul you'd simply be replacing one group of killers with another.

They ruined the western civilization and now they are coming after 3rd world countries.

The cuck faced effeminate weakling at 1:25 says this:

"This is the first step to generate a new definition of masculinity in Mexico"

They go to other countries to define their men's masculinity for them.

At 0:53 they are filming and broadcasting men's asses on big screens allegedly to "highlight how women can feel harassed by the intrusive male gaze"

Of course, if women feel harassed, then they are harassed. Imagine filming women's asses on metro and broadcasting them on big screens. Would that be allowed? But you can do it to men. We are fucking mules. Yet, women are the victims.

This is fucking disgusting.

This is exactly right.

Displays like this throw into sharp relief how ineffective feminism really is. Right now, as we speak, how many women are being raped, murdered, or forced to swallow heroin capsules as drug mules for the cartels?

Feminists don't fuck with these guys...because real misogyny is terrifying and women are cowards. In fact, women are so cowardly that it's not even an insult to call a woman a coward---"woman" and "coward" are, for the most part, synonymous. So they whine about the 9 am commute and pretend they're facing down the "patriarchy" in a meaningful way. They pile on weaklings/faggots/cucks because they know these guys don't have the balls to tell them to fuck off.

This is just more proof that feminism is just a massive, societywide shit test and that if you lose Frame, it's game over.

Not long ago, Mexico City rolled out an absurd pink rape whistle campaign, giving away tons of whistles that women were supposed to use if they felt threatened. As always, these feel-good programs are not well conceived and are more about raising a politician's profile than solving a real problem. The city seems to do this more and more frequently in its pathetic desire to be considered a vanguard city.

What drives these stunts?

1. The influence a small group of Mexican feminist activists in government who identify with US feminists and want to bring that battle here.

2. Pandering to the female vote. Remember, women already have separate cars they can use on the metro with TONS of room and they pay the same fare.

I don't see a visible sexual violence problem in Mexico City or even catcalling. Very recently, a taxi driver complimented a woman, calling her 'guapa' (pretty) and she has very publicly filed an official complaint with the city. This is a class issue and the social media response has not been kind to her. What is true is that many women do not feel safe after dark and will often not venture out after dark unless necessary.

But the metro is not particularly dangerous or hostile for women, as those of you who have been here know. If anything, men are overly chivalrous on the metro, sometimes offering their seat to any woman. Just today, I saw a young man offer his seat to an old man, who immediately offered it to a young but obese woman. I'd estimate that about 20% of metro riders are women, although it depends on the time of day and which metro line.

A lot of women here do not work outside the home; instead, they stay at home, cook, clean and raise the kids, especially if their economic opportunities are not good. Professional women -- the kind who engineered this campaign -- would NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD taking the metro. That is strictly for the unwashed masses.

If they can afford to mold dicks into their subway seats, they can definitely afford to pay for the wall.

I wonder how many of these upper class feminists have husbands who became rich from the massive corruption in Mexico? They steal from the average people and then their psycho wives put crap on the seats so that people can't comfortably sit down.

Rico... Sauve....
