As a slightly amusing story, a very Japanese-looking American ladyfriend of mine used to live here. She's ex-military, and more than a bit of a redneck, but you couldn't tell by just looking at her.
So, one day she's on the train, and some guy cops a feel. Women here more often than not don't react to it, but ex-Navy chicks are a different story.
Mr. Pervert got decked, cursed out in English, and arrested at the next station.
OTOH, every school girl gets felt up on the train.
