    parking lot creates 'female only' spaces

    The spaces, designated by pink paint lines and the international symbol for woman, are 50 per cent wider than other spaces in the service centres. The reason – because women are allegedly bad at parking.

    According to China's Qianjiang Evening News, Pan Zhuren, director of the service area, said he decided to include the girls-only spaces after noticing that some female drivers were having trouble reversing into parking spots, or "parking carelessly."

    ...and they're pink too!

    So, does this mean that anyone who identifies as a woman can park there too?

    Why is Pink always identified with women?

    hey, I'd totally use it! It's part of the reason I like my blue spaces so much.. they give me a bit more room. I don't know about other places, but in CA the businesses cut those spots so tight it's horrible!

    my family teases me horribly about my inability to park straight, BUT I get it from my Dad...so it's not totally a female thing.

    I refuse to get out of my car until I'm satisfied with its position in the parking space; it has to be straight, centered within the lines, and not too far in or out. Obsessive compulsive???
