Shopping Center Creates Parking Spaces For Women
A Croatian shopping center is getting a lot of complaints over the wider, better lit parking spaces they made for women. The spaces, decorated with pink flowers, were meant to make parking easier for female customers, officials said. The spaces have not gone over well, as female motorists resent the implication that they need the extra wide spaces to park. One male customer said, "Why should women get special spaces? You can understand disabled spaces and parking bays for people with children but women should just learn how to drive properly." This statement ensures that no woman will do anything "properly" for him again.
The only thing that scares me is SUV driving cell phone talking soccer moms (and dads) with kids bouncing in the backseat. They should have to park farthest away and walk for being such a hazard. While they're at it why not create spaces for "pull through" drivers, senior drivers, ricers, and white trash drivers. That way there's no discrimination.
