Thirty or so buses in Jerusalem are segregated - you guessed it, women in the back of the bus. Of course, it's for the benefit of the women - then they don't have to suffer the abuse and vitriol of the sexists. The link is below, after the quote.

"This really is about positive discrimination, in women's favour. Our religion says there should be no public contact between men and women, this modesty barrier must not be broken."

Good thing it not just unfounded discrimination to make men feel special, eh.
