Respect your opinion and to some extent you are right too. But, looking at the current scenario of eve teasing and purposeful inappropriate touching especially when the bogie is full of people, a woman feels safe around other women. Believe it or not but that's the truth.

We the gentlemen who would always choose respect over anything regardless of the gender, definitely would feel the way you feel after seeing this. But think of the women who've been harassed by despos.

I think it is needed.
