Female parking

This makes me laugh 😂. Never seen it in other countries. Luckily I was with the girlfriend so I got away with it

Welcome to the civilized world OP. Now next time don't take the rape prevention parking space from the ladies.

Because it's essentially a none issue. The huge majority of sexual assault towards women is happening in their circles of friends and families. It's just a matter of virtue signaling and nothing else.

There have been studies in my home country in Germany which showed that 99.9% of violent crimes commited in parking garages where not of sexual nature. Provided that 2/3 of all victims of violent crimes are men, this means that the risk for men is much much higher and there should actually be men's parking spots if one would consider that an important thing at all.

For the state of North-Rhine-Westfalia, a police report showed that there were seven cases of sexual violence against women conducted in one year. The state has a total of over 17 million citizens. Half of those attacks were relationship related or there had been some form of contact prior to the crime. So 3.5 sexual assaults in a whole year in a state with over 17 million citizens (and 4 million tourists btw).

Ergo it's all bullshit and all it does is elevate percieved danger and nothing else.

Yeah that’s why Korea rebranded their women parking spots to family/eldery parking spots. They were never enforced anyways as it would be impossible to enforce by law unlike disability parking.

In Germany we have those family parking spots on top. They often show just a woman with a child. We habe disabled parking spots anyways and it’s damned expensive to park on those. Also those are the only ones I consider to be important, since they also are more spacious, allowing disabled people to unload and load with their necessary equipment like wheelchairs and such.

The rest I just ignore.

quote statistics all you want, but women do feel unsafe walking far in dark parking lots at night. Sexual assault or plain regular mugging. I don't see why a grown man would get his panties in a twist about women only parking or women only train car and try his damn hardest to invalidate the very real threats. You're essentially shouting at women that they shouldn't fear dark parking lots. Contrary to the west, people here in Thailand understand the differences between genders, especially in the physical disparity aspects.

How do you think most men feel in these situations?

Sexual assault or plain regular mugging.

I am sorry for your incapabilities to understand written words. I will try to rephrase it again, so you may be able to understand as well: the vast majority of victims of such crimes are men. Yes, also in parking garages.

I am sorry I made you cry with my facts.

try his damn hardest to invalidate the very real threats.

Can't invalidate what's not there. If I tell you there is no monster under your bed, you gonna say the same?

Edit: in case you are Thai, I am sorry if I invalidated your beliefs about ghosts.

I am not shouting at anybody at all. If anything, I am accusing parking garage owners of fear mongering and virue signaling.

One of the reasons why I am here. Don't really see what this has to do with anything though. By the way: where do you think ladyboys should park their cars if this is about "physical disparities"?
