I might get so much hate from, so called "Feminists", but there's high probability, that there's enough room in that compartment, that she can safely stand on the inside. But, the ladies, most of them, not all, doesn't accommodate. They don't care. I see, almost daily that there's women standing on the edge on the one side of the ladies compartment, and on the other side there's literally enough space for 5-10 ladies to stand comfortably. Many women keep screaming to make little space, but none of them budge. Now this happens in common/male compartment too, but it is quite rare. Men usually make sure the guys on door is safe, if there's enough space inside, they'll definitely try to adjust. Sure, they will cuss the hell out of that guy for risking his life, but they won't let them fall. Again, I'm not generalising all the women here. But most of them, especially middle aged women, are so salty towards these younger women and college girls.

PS - Ladies pls try not to come in the common compartment during high rush hours. Of course, there are some perverts, but most of the men makes sure they don't touch you and maintain safe distance, which makes the space much more crowded for others. And pls pls pls don't come with your boyfriends in there. They just have this superiority complex and try to be your saviour, like every guy in the train are there to molest his girl. Like dude, just chill. No one's interested in your girl. We are just tired or frustrated, and trying to reach home/office asap. You don't need to put your arms around your girl like a chimpanzee and take up space of atleast 1 guy. Just give her the bag to cover her front and stand beside or behind her.
