I believe this particular trial came about to combat the uptick of violent crime/sexual assault against women in the city. I could be wrong though, I'd have to look it up.

What kinda gender segregation, I don't like this

this would make more sense

Honey, let's be real here. If there were parking spots right next to the elevator/exit from the garage, reserved for people who feel uncomfortable, all lazy buffed assholes would suddenly become vulnerable princesses

The irony of all this is that while women are stereotyped to be unable to park a car properly, it's mostly some of us men who take 1.5 to 2 whole places because who cares, I'm a boss and I'm too lazy to look in the mirror to see where the f*** I'm going

Yeah, no one is going to willingly choose to park farther away if there are spots closer no matter if they are for people who may feel uncomfortable or not. Especially considering the fact that the article says that the gender-rule isn't even going to be enforced.

Exactly.

Is this an attempt to lessen attacks on women in parking lots or because they think we're worse drivers? If it's to make women feel safer then I'm all for it. More lights, more security cameras, closer to the exits so we can run away and escape easier if we do get attacked. It's not because they think women are better, it's because we're much more likely to be assaulted, and parking lot/garage assaults are actually quite common. Sometimes men will even jump into women's cars when they're getting out/going in and assault them right there in their seat.

Yes. I like the idea in theory.

I do have to wonder why the female-only areas have better lighting and more CCTV monitoring, though. Why not have that everywhere?

what kind of Saudi Arabia tease is this?

edit: oh it's for safety? ok why not.

This just makes it easier for men to see where women are parked...

These already are a thing in my country. This is so wrong.

Women are already parked pretty much everywhere. Essentially every other car in any given lot is going to be driven by a woman. Any would be rapist isn't going to have to "scope out" any lot to find where some of them are parked.

I get the idea because parking are not safe at all for us and scary but men will know it's only for women so I don't think it will solve anything unfortunately.

Can men not just stop raping and assaulting us though? Keep your dicks in your pants, it's not that hard damn it.

where are the male only ones?

oh this doesnt solve the problem with rape and safety

I like the idea but it does make it easier for men to rape women if they know where they are now.
But it does say they added extra CCTV so maybe if something does happen they'll have better footage to catch him.
