Angry women force men to do sit-ups

Men caught riding in a women-only carriage on the Delhi Metro were fined - and then slapped by angry woman who forced them to do sit-ups.

A police team caught a number of men in the carriage in a surprise raid at the city's Guru Dronacharya station, reports the Times of India.

Officers fined them the equivalent of £3.50 each - and then women, furious at men repeatedly invading their carriage - took their own vengeance.

Gurgaon police commissioner S S Deswal said complaints of men getting into the reserved coach and harassing women were becoming frequent.

"We have been getting a lot of complaints from women, including the lady wardens, about eve-teasing and harassment," he said.

"As suspected, we found many male passengers in the women's coach. The moment the women saw us, they got the courage to teach the men a lesson.

"We will continue this drive and ask women NGOs to also take part. We want our young girls and women to feel confident and safe while travelling in the Metro.''

1. "eve-teasing"?

2. their term for sexual harassment

5. Thanks. I find it interesting that..

women in India would refer to Eve.

Maybe that myth has legs.

Or should I say 'gams'?

3. Good for those women.

Hopefully the word will get out, and the men will cease their invasion.

Recommended.

6. I thought you were referring to women.

And I was wondering how you could possibly take the time to make all those posts.

Ahh, youth...

7. I have the computer in a den near the TV

I do the situps between the two

my daughter sits on my knees and counts

[Hissyspit]

8. But do you do the knee crunches??

[underpants]

11. Yeah

regular situps
crunches
shins parallel to the ground crunches
another running thing-shins parallel to the ground, lower each leg until the heel touches (really gets the hips aligned)
"Soviet sailor" (I call it because it looks something you'd see in an old propaganda movie)- lie flat on your back and raise your hands up and your legs up to meet in the middle.

and of course.... the plank- HAVE to do the plank these days :eyes:

I do some mix every night after dinner but you can't beat genetics (spare tire)

[Hissyspit]

12. Cool. I haven't done exercise in awhile.

I mainly just watch my diet nowadays to avoid the spare tire. My genetics served me well up until about (imagine this) I turned 40.

[Sonoman]

10. Now, that's cool.

I have gotten old and far to creaky for that.

I lie flat, feet elevated, and play guitar.

Try lying on your back with a real-deal Les Paul on your abs. Play some blues and some screamer slide.

Great exercise.

9. payback time

lol. funny story.

[hayu_lol]

13. A warning to those who are approaching middle age...

DON'T start with sit ups if you haven't been exercising regularly. In my mid 40s I had remarried. Put on some extra weight around the middle. Set up an exercise program that was moderate in all respects. Started with sit ups.

Result: Hernia from the first one.

Be cautious and take it slow.

[eShirl]

15. Oh, OK. Thought the headline was about some kind of new dominatrix gym chain.
