When she says “doesn’t that defy equality” I thought she was about to say something intelligent after, but I was wrong.

"At first I thought wasn't that the opposite of equality then I realized it privileged women so I'm cool with it".

Separating the races was positive discrimination too

u/Aksu593 is being sarcastic.

While I can see how it might make it safer for women who are out at night, I doubt that that is why those parking spaces were put in place.
But when it comes down to it, it really is just a parking space. It's not gonna make a significant difference in women's safety or women's status in society. If anything its degrading to women. It shows that their government believes women need everything to be easier for them. Its sickening, frankly, that things like this still exist.

It's a bad solution to an actual problem.
Street harassment exists, and if women feel actual danger walking through empty parking lots.... then that's an issue that needs to be solved.
But if your solution is to shelter women, instead of addressing the harassers, then you're just bodging something to keep face.

I think men need spaces close to the lights too. They get murdered a lot more than women.

A lot of feminists ignore that the overwhelming majority of homicide victims are male
[–]Hadashi_blacksky 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah. I can't believe people fall for the old "the majority of people who die in this one very specific circumstance are female".

... bodgeing? not sure.
bodge (plural bodges)
A clumsy or inelegant job, usually a temporary repair; a patch, a repair.

You were right the first time bodging

"White People Only" is an example of positive discrimination because it makes towns a more white-friendly place
[–]user_miki 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It sounds to me they reserved all good parking places for them in an extremely busy city.
If there are parking places for all genders cars no problem, if not ,this is privilege.

Although this is a good post, its title does not say enough about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested. It also makes searching impossible.
If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable.
So please don't do it in future. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.
When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.
[–]The-Optimystic[S] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Hello, I apologise for the poor title, I didn't mean to clickbait anyone. I was just wondering if this still count as a discrimination or not (because they claim it would make it safer for women in SK) so I just wanted to hear other points of view.
Regards

It's okay. Just remember next time. :)

Disgusting. It's so sad how feminism is destroying such beautiful countries, Japan and South Korea. Man, their fertility rate is so low... smh
[–]Blutarg -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It just shows how full of it they are: they don't want equality, they want advantage.
[–]ILOVENOGGERS 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nah it's ok, just proves that women are weak and can't do shit alone.

This is clearly discrimination. I don't agree with it.
[–]MadTrini 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm okay with this. Surely more men here are okay with this? We don't want rigid equality. The natural desire is to protect and look out for women is it not? If this protects them shouldn't this make everyone happy
Maybe we shouldn't be playing the mirror game of the feminist?
[–]Rad_Knight 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I have heard that those parking spaces are wider and lead to less accidents, but that might not be because they are too narrow for women, but for men as well.
[–]The-Optimystic[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Usually, parking lots are designed in a way that has larger parks for the disabled, I guess they replaced some of those spaces for women?
[–]Lucien_Lachanse 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
the parking spaces are not female only they are specifically meant for women who are pregnant, or with a child under 18 months
[–]The-Optimystic[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thanks for clarifying this.
[–]Lucien_Lachanse 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
your welcome, I do a lot of research into the cultures in that area, and that was one of the things I found most surprising. one piece that is extremely interesting is that by and large, both sexes respect the limitation I mentioned in my first comment. the majority of women don't abuse or try to fake it to just get a closer parking spot.
[–]GimliStrider1 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Good for South Korea personally. They do what they want, and they seem to be doing fine. So, until it shows any real problems, eh.
[–]throwaway46819[🍰] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I have some South Korean friends that would say otherwise. From what I've heard women get away with terrible crimes, and the slightest bad thing a man does taints his career, or worse. And of course the media doesn't help, apparently it's more of the usual angelification of women and demonization of men.
[–]GimliStrider1 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Ah well, there's an up and a downside for all things with that. Women get shafted a lot there too, it's just a mixed bag. My personal thing is just kinda what happens happens, you know?
[–]throwaway46819[🍰] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yup, both men and women have it hard, but in different ways. The problem is that feminists there are insisting that men have no problems whatsoever, and women are the only ones with hard lives. I'm not exaggerating either, one of my friends said exactly that to me, and I've seen similar things being said by feminists over there quite often.

Oh, gotcha.

If you consider being a woman a handicap, then it makes sense.

My thoughts are that South Korea is run by nutjob SJWs, as has been repeatedly demonstrated.
[–]YoubigdumbSOB 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
That is bad news. :(
Can you give some examples?
[–]Akesgeroth 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Oh Jesus. Rather than spend hours getting sources and wading through biased media, I'll just link you to "gookanon's" posts on 4chan. Events in the last few years have corroborated what he said.

If you're interested, just dig into what he wrote, namely the organizations he named, the political party which enforced those ridiculous laws, or Google president Park or Megalia. That country is what SJWs want.

Hory shit!!!!!
[+]LaeBear -6 points-5 points-4 points 7 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
A friend of mind is from korea and told me girls can’t walk safely alone there. (Without an adult man with them) That is not only because men would rape them, but more because there are no legal actions against the rape.
[–]20cansofSpam 9 points10 points11 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
You are saying that rape is legal in SK?
[–]LaeBear -4 points-3 points-2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I am saying they don’t do anything about it. I never went to korea, I only heard this from my korean friend.
[–]20cansofSpam 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I doubt that.
[–]LaeBear 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Could be, I don’t tbh. She told me how they always have a male guide everywhere in the city when they visit. She would only go with her mum (who was born there) and told me she can never go anywhere without her male guide.
[–]20cansofSpam 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I suspect she is referring to the bad parts of town. Or paranoid.
Because if she went with her mum wouldn't both be raped?
[–]LaeBear -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well they had a male guide everywhere they went. In most asian countries woman are still a little lower of status then in the western world.
I can tell you that she probably isn’t paranoid, since both of us grew up in a community where you can walk alone at night over the whole island, without fear. And the girl I am talking about isn’t scared of people.
She also didn’t tell me you get raped if you walk alone through korea. But she told me that the chances are bigger then in the Netherlands and also there wouldn’t be anything done about it. Just to be safe have a male guide
