[edit] Reason for prominence

Anyone know why this problem is so prominent in Japan? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Majorofhonor (talk • contribs)

Not sure if this answers your question, but ... whle the US is a car-based society, Tokyo is a train-based society, which means people are packed like sardines in a can during rush hour. Everyone rides the trains instead of cars. Also, of course (A) it's not only a Japanese problem, and (B) it's not nearly as common as some sensationalist news and fictional stories might have you think. —Tokek 13:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed sentence

Removed the following sentence from the wikipedia article because of problematic source:

Increasingly, although rarer, men are being banned from more places including stores, restaurants, hotels, spas, and even entertainment outlets. ^[1]

The referenced article doesn't give numbers (not even estimates) to how provelant these women-only businesses are, and gives no explanation how they are related to frotteurism. Instead, it insinuates these and leaves the rest to the imagination of the reader. Which makes the article pretty much worthless as a source, not to mention potential problems with policies including WP:WEASEL and WP:NPOV. —Tokek 22:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translation

So Chikan is the Japanese version of copping a feel?
