Hot Topic

I never knew eating on tubes was such a taboo until I came across this bizarre Facebook group with over 25, 000 members “Women Who Eat on Tubes.” This ludicrous group captures pictures of unsuspecting women in London who eat on tubes and then posts them on its Facebook page stating the exact subway line, time and location where the photograph was taken.

I am not one who loves eating on tubes but sometimes you are so busy that the only opportunity you have to eat is when you are on transit. I would guess that is the reason these women have been eating on the tubes. However, it seems the Facebook group has something else on its mind when they see women eating on tubes, it seems they see it as Wildlife photography and as such describe it as Art. As was stated by the founder of the group Tony Burke who insisted that his project was not offensive or misogynistic. I personally think that is a lame excuse to cover up his act since he has witnessed the backlash his group has received from feminists and the media.

This all started in 2011, although the site made headlines last week after journalist Sophie Wilkinson wrote a story describing how she felt "hurt and humiliated" after a man took her photo while she ate her lunch on the tube, and posted it on the Facebook page.

"I'd like to know the name of her finishing school," read a comment under her image.

 "I was the butt of a joke without my knowledge, in front of thousands of strangers. I'd been 'stranger-shamed'" she responded.

In less than a week, Lucy Brisbane McKay and Alexis Calvas had planned last week’s protest, which had garnered almost 500 attendees on the Facebook event.

Armed with a wicker picnic basket and a vintage suitcase filled with bananas, the pair passed out the fruit to protesters, both female and male, in the tube carriage.

While some munched on humble sandwiches and steadied themselves by holding onto the carriage poles, other hungry activists sat with full-spreads of sushi with signs reading "I eat on the tube" propped up against them. At each station, people would join the group with their lunch in hand. The aim of the protest was to eat on the tubes and show the jovial nature of eating on tubes.

Apart from the fact that it is an unfair, sexist and an invasion of privacy meted out against innocent women, this practice is also downright stupid. And that is why I am happy about the protest that took place last week to stop this wrong doing. I know you can’t stop people from acting insane, but I think there can be strict rules or measures put in place in order to stop this inhumane act. If possible I would like Facebook to finally put an end to this group.

What do you guys think?
