Practical or patronizing?

South Korea is spending mega-money on creating larger car parking spaces for women.

Capital city Seoul is introducing "lady-friendly" spots reserved exclusively for female drivers, the Korea Times reports.

Wider and longer than regular spots, they will be closer to elevators and marked out with pink mini-skirted logos.

It's not yet known, however, if men will be fined if busted for using them.

Korea Times reports the initiative is part of a nearly $700 million push to make the metropolis more female-friendly over four years.

Other projects include installing 7,000 new women-only toilets, and the resurfacing of some sidewalks with a squishy material to help those wearing high heels.

"It is like adding a female touch to a universal design and make things more comfortable for women," Assistant Mayor for Women and Family Affairs Cho Eun-hee told the Korea Times.

This could not happen here. We already have men & women using the same bathrooms. How could you possibly segregate parking spaces?

It's unclear whether transvestites are covered under this law or not…

"That's SEXIST!"

Transgender rules apply.

If the man is busted, it will be fine for using them.

An eye doctor told me that women and men do not have the same ability in judging distances. Women have less ability to judge distances. Perhaps these new parking lots with more space for women will save many of us from having our cars scraped. Wish they’d do that here.

Too many men have lied to them about the size of one foot.

It’s funny to see all these Koreans flee to their racial enemy Japan because Korean talent management agencies are such stingy bast*rds.

Because a lady needs more room to maneuver??

A couple days ago I got side-swiped by a little Vietnamese woman who swung wide into the adjacent parking space.

This is a little too close to home...

Painful, but useful to remember when people bitch about “cultural theft” or whatever it is when white people sing some other style of song.

Red and blond haired Asians?

Did you notice the American Flags on some of their outfits?

Sometimes with South Korea it's like Watching the U.S.A.'s Little Sister trying to imitate you.

I see what you did thetre. Very punny.

They do the same in gun free zone germany to avoid rapes. Obviously the medianis hiding this.

[Repeat Offender]

Letting an Asian drive a car is almost as dangerous as letting an Arab fly a 747.

[billphx]

Agreed!

You’re exceptional I promise you

I don’t need stats to tell me something I’ve witnessed almost 60 years

Women on average do not handle a car as well as men

And stats prove it......though bots scream otherwise

Accidents per miles driven.

Worst drivers are old red dot Indian women....whew

Young women drive as fast as boys now...they run up on my truck bumper impatient even if I’m doing 85.... and they are always looking at their phone

Small wonder....young hipster boys rarely drive their women

Bizarre...

My wife would think me crazy if she had to drive unless I’m near death or intoxicated on sumthin

Ugh! I hear ya.
Add snow to the mix and things get REALLY scary!
Hell, RAIN for that matter.
