I'm in Germany at the moment and when I went to an underground parking garage I noticed the craziest thing ever; separate parking space for women, overlooked by a security guard, so men don't park there.

Is this the case in other countries as well?

I 100% support this.

At least once a week I almost get hit in my parking garage by some female that can't manage to figure out the one-way traffic flow. Most of those times shes on a cell phone as well.

They'll still be worse drivers than men. Let them have their precious spots. There parking skills are shit.

As long as they sufficiently condescend to women--making it clear through signage that it's because they're abysmal drivers--I support it as well.

I hope to god there are plenty of cameras there and somebody has the good sense to make a compilation of their shitty parking/pulling out skills and then throws that shit on YouTube.

Can you take a picture? Or video? Is it something set up by anti-rape feminists, Or is it to keep women from dinging other cars?

Well that's just great. Now the whole roads everywhere won't be safe, even if you can avoid female drivers. You'll still end up in the ditch from the shoddy plowing job.

Quote:In some German states, women's parking spaces are provided for under garage regulations. For example, the garage regulations of North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein state that women's parking places:
must be marked as such
should be near the facility entrance
must be monitored by a security guard or by video surveillance
must be near an installed burglar alarm
In the garage regulation of Baden-Württemberg, at least of 10% of all spaces in large garages must be reserved for women.[1] The garage regulation of Brandenburg stipulates that at least 30% of spaces must be for women.[2]

Quote:The German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency stated on their website that the establishment of women's parking spaces does not violate the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeine Gleichbehandlungsgesetz), because women are more likely than men to be victims of sexual abuse.

They can use that excuse to justify giving women anything they ask for.

I went looking for statistics to demonstrate how ridiculous this is, but actually discovered that they have a point:

Quote:Of all sexual assaults, 73 percent are committed by a non-stranger (a friend, an acquaintance, a classmate, a teacher, a relative, or an intimate partner). Half of all rapes and sexual assaults take place in the victim’s home or within one mile of home: 40 percent occur in the home, 20 percent occur in a friend, relative, or neighbor’s home, and 1 in 12 occur in a parking garage.

What I also learned from this research is that parking garages are very dangerous for women, but we should also make private homes illegal and all interactions between women and non-strangers should definitely be chaperoned.

Women only fight for equality when things don't favor them.
