Women in China have accused Shanghai Metro of sexism, after the transport company warned female passengers that wearing sexy clothing could provoke sexual harassment — and urged them to “have self-respect.”u00a0Shanghai Metro made the comments in a post on the Twitter-like micro-blogging site Sina Weibo, which was accompanied by a photo of a woman on a subway platform wearing a sheer dress with opaque black undergarments. Alongside the picture was this comment: “Dressing like that, it would be unusual for a lady not be harassed. There can be perverts on the subway and it’s hard to get rid of them. Please have self respect, ladies.”
