This article is insane. At no point does it it examine why so many male "office workers" and "college students" commit sex crimes. At one point, cameras seem to be the culprits, but not the men using them.

I think we know why men commit sex crimes- They are horny perverts who don't respect women. I don't need a news article to tell me that.

As for the whole camera thing it makes sense, I mean if you were an upskirt peeper, where would you go? The local outdoor market with the ajummas? Of course you'd go to line 2 near Gangnam or Eyhwa. Where else? Cruise around Jamsil stadium? for the post baseball game crowd? It's kind of like saying "Pedophiles target Chuck-E-Cheese's, Playgrounds". Really? Thanks Sherlock.

Now that doesn't mean it's the ladies' fault. And they should take one of their stiletto heels and use it as, well, a stiletto on the guy. But to get outraged at some guy for pointing out the obvious is a bit much.

I don't see anything obvious here.

Where I come from trains of business men and college students are the least of my worries. The guy who shoves his hand up a woman's skirt or initiates sexual conduct in public is usually not wearing a suit and tie.

Guys who scale up fire escapes at night often begin their creepy criminal trajectory with behavior like this. Yet it appears that these are not sexual predators cruising the trains for victims as much of the "guy from marketing" when you stand too close to him.

But I recently had a female student complain that a male coworker was pressuring her to lose weight. Another serves coffee to a condescending boss. Another who just returned from the States, complained that after she went dancing at a nightclub, she ran into male coworkers she had seen there who accused her of not being marriage material and in effect, loose.

You don't have to be a social scientist here to see that there is definitely some mass stiletto swinging in order and not a moment too soon.
