I can't deny the very real benefits women reap from such services - I'm referring specifically to women-only seats on Indian buses and trains, because that's all I can claim have experienced firsthand - but what you said is absolutely true. Very often, in fact, these so-called 'women friendly services' are just a means of not addressing the larger issues (which, if raised, bring about bewildered 'but we gave you the damn seats, what *else* do you women want?' responses).
