Chinese city creates female-only parking spaces for unskilled women drivers

HANGZHOU, China, June 1 (UPI) — Officials in a Chinese city said larger parking spaces meant only for female drivers are in response to difficulties women have while parking.

The female-only spaces, designated in parking lots in the Tonglu highway service area in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, are 50 percent larger than normal parking spaces and are outlined in pink with a drawing of a skirted figure similar to one that might be found on a bathroom door.

Pan Tieyong, director of the Tonglu highway service area, said the spots were installed in response to female drivers in the area having trouble backing into spots and being seen “parking carelessly.”

The parking plan has been criticized by many on social media, with at least one Weibo user branding the spaces a form of sexism.

“True respect for women entails letting women enjoy the same rights as men,” the user wrote.

Even Asians recognize the problem.

PC never hammered out a dent. Shouldn’t they also install padded bumpers?

I drove in the SF area for several years.

A cop told me that certain types of Chinamen have a superstition about looking in mirrors. They simply don’t do it. Side view, rear view, whatever: They do not want to look into them because of their primitive superstition.

Thus, when we’d see that little jade and red tassel good luck thing hanging from a car’s rear view mirror, we’d give them a wide berth, because they were most likely Chinamen.

And yes, they are horrible drivers. I call it immoral. They do not care who they kill. They care about getting caught.

Yep. I didn’t know they don’t believe in looking in mirrors, that explains a lot. BTW, I have one of those jade and red tassel safe travel things on my stick shift, although I’m not Asian I figure anything helps.

She doesn’t drive at all but she stands for all women drivers. Unless, of course, you happen to live in Saudi Arabia.

A couple of fine looking Asian chicks!

But I was told Asian women don’t like to tan. Oh, well.

I think that for some Chinese seeing one’s reflection means maybe seeing the Grim Reaper looming behind, sorta like that Twilight Zone episode.

They say never give a Chinese a clock for a gift. It’s a reminder of approaching death.

Now you know why the red and green tassels give you safe driving.

Those who know, give them a wide birth.
