In Luxembourg, women have special parking zones just for them.

Kuonji · 2011-08-17T18:23:31+00:00

Aside from basic sexism, can anyone comment on why these might exist?

ItsOnlyNatural · 2011-08-17T19:22:05+00:00

Are any feminists taking action to abolish these? I would assume so since they always tell us how the MRM is unnecessary because feminism is about equality.

I thought this would be the animated GIF with the blinking runway lights and it's 20 feet wide.

NickRausch · 2011-08-17T23:35:20+00:00

whites only

FJLawson · 2011-08-17T19:56:07+00:00

If the spaces were larger then I would fully support the move!

jeannaimard · 2011-08-17T21:48:13+00:00

I thought that those spots offered 50% more space, and were separated by reinforced concrete walls…

_Toast · 2011-08-17T18:29:15+00:00

I'd park in that anyways, how are they going to give you a ticket?

omegaflux · 2011-08-17T18:39:23+00:00

They have them in lots of places:

South Korea

Britain

Germany

This picture makes me wish I had a teleporter and a sledgehammer.

HubrisMD · 2011-08-17T19:30:55+00:00

I wouldn't park my car there out of fear of door dings

BlueSteelRose · 2011-08-17T20:59:21+00:00

Is that so that rapists know exactly where to wait in the car park?

kloo2yoo · 2011-08-17T19:26:32+00:00

Added to roundup. Thanks!

I wonder how they'd feel about "MEN ONLY" parking spots as well. You know, because men might not feel safe parking near those dangerous women drivers.

absurdlyobfuscated · 2011-08-17T18:13:57+00:00

In Soviet Russia, parking zones have women just for them.

Airazz · 2011-08-17T20:16:18+00:00

That's just to avoid having bumps and scratches on men's cars.

timmytimtimshabadu · 2011-08-17T19:49:14+00:00

Pshaw, they're probably just 30% wider so the guys with porsches won't get door dings.

There are seats and computer in the library of our university which are reserved for women after 8 pm.

They have the same reason, these parking spots have. They are located very close to the exit and near a place of safety. A multi story car park at night is indeed a very sketchy place, and while I admit that men can be assaulted, mugged and murdered, let's face it, it's less likely. European muggers are less likely to carry a fireweapon than in the U.S., which makes it necessary to overpower the victim physically, which then again makes most women easier targets.

As for rape...men hardly ever get raped by crazy women in car parks, it is a complete exception of the rule that a woman will be both horny and strong and reckless enough to commit such a crime. If you have statistics that prove me wrong, I'd immediately change sides, but I'm rather convinced that there aren't.

From an evolutionary standpoint, it makes sense for a society to protect women from harm. I'd say we concentrate our striving to other areas, where it is needed more.

Revorob · 2011-08-18T09:40:08+00:00

As a man, I'd happilly park in one of those spots in the name of equality.

AnthonyZarat · 2011-08-18T13:48:30+00:00

Feminists have trained women to demand ever more privilege and pampering from government, at tax payer expense. Basically, women don't want to have to squabble over a limited number of distant parking spaces.

Soon, men will be asked to foot the bill for women-only valet parking services also. There is no bottom to the greed and no end to the entitlement of modern women.

We increasingly live in a two-tiered society, where men are serfs owned by women. Feminist theory taken to the extreme.

2011-08-17T22:47:12+00:00

thank god only about ten people live in luxembourg.

LBwayward · 2011-08-17T23:08:57+00:00

What is enforcement like on these spaces? If my wife parks in that spot, and then I go to take a drive is that cool? What about vice versa? Do all of the occupants have to be female? Or just one? What about children? Has anyone ever actually been prosecuted for misuse of one of these parking spots?

KMFCM · 2011-08-18T03:57:03+00:00

okay, the real question is how close are these spaces to the destination in question?

Is it like the handicap spaces?

purrit · 2011-08-17T19:20:16+00:00

cool, when do we get spaces free from: cattiness, false-rape accusations, screeching voices, boring conversations about food/shelter/clothing?

oh, BOARDROOMS, amirite?

2011-08-17T21:40:25+00:00

No context?

2011-08-17T22:46:55+00:00

I have problems with this,as long as it is the context of a equally unequal society. I mean one that enforces other traditional gender norms.

Women can have their parking spaces if I can easily have a male only Scotch bar.

ThePigman · 2011-08-18T01:42:51+00:00

If i'm ever in Luxembourg and need to take an emergency wiz I know exactly where to do it.

2011-08-18T06:34:59+00:00

I hate that woman love to be scared of mice/ bees etc. Also things that are never going to happen to them unless they fabricate it.

DrFrosty · 2011-08-18T09:04:17+00:00

Yet more evidence women aren't as capable as men at functioning in society and need special protections like kids.

IncrediblyFatMan · 2011-08-18T09:16:07+00:00

Are women who engage in rape hysteria aware that that they are many times more likely to be in a fatal auto accident than they are to be raped? If so, I wonder if they act around automobiles.

brunt2 · 2011-08-18T10:20:40+00:00

WHAT THE FUCK????? fuck these "European"... ..... people

2011-08-18T11:59:59+00:00

This must be a x-post from r/WTF

paZifist · 2011-08-18T12:19:33+00:00

in germany its also absolutely common. In a Parkingblock women could be easily attacked by strangers because you cant really controll the whole place and often nobody is near. So the parkingspots are in bright areas near the entrances so women are safe.

superbluejeans · 2011-08-18T02:04:39+00:00

Herp a la derp female only parking spaces? SEXISM! Then proceed to joke about females being bad drivers. Remember kids fight sexism with sexism!

Gothiks · 2011-08-17T21:21:29+00:00

I won't have scrapes and dings on my ride if we had these in the states.

Just sayin'.

purrit · 2011-08-17T19:46:40+00:00

should set up a project to funnel faminist funds to NASA in order to have the moon or mars an entire world for women.

oh, but wait, then the women would bitch about not having the good life on earth

but if the men are shipped off to the moon/mars, women will bitch about men getting all the glory

hmm, take all the money in the world and bribe god to kick all the men outt heaven.

darkamir · 2011-08-18T00:09:16+00:00

If I'll see such a parking space, I'll definitely park there (guy here).

xpNc · 2011-08-18T13:00:50+00:00

I really don't mind this at all.

ghebert001 · 2011-08-17T19:48:44+00:00

We have those too...they're called handicapped spaces.

den215 · 2011-08-18T00:19:00+00:00

i ignore shit like this, especially those parking spots for customers with children.
