Has anyone here ever seen the trains in India or Egypt? They have similar "women and children" only cars. Not for a discriminatory purpose, it's so that the women can travel without being harassed. What does everyone say about that?

It's pathetic to read some of the stuff in here. The reason why there would be a women and children area anywhere is because of what you mention above. It's more out of respect than discrimination. It is utter ignorance to suggest a restaurant having a kids/womens section is discriminating against these groups. In Muslim cultures men and women do not mix in a public place like a restaurant because it makes it easier to not get into uncomfortable situations with the opposite sex. This unwillingness to mix goes both ways, and i would argue that, in fact, more women like the idea than men do. Creating a women/childrens section in a restaurant is more an accommodation than anything else. If it is done to oppress and discriminate, then the person oppressing and discriminating should be held accountable.
