Turns out countries around the world have segregated parking spaces:

• German law requires some regions to reserve 30% of parking spaces for women.
• These spots are bigger than usual parking places in order to make it easier to maneuver.
• It’s not just Germany. Austria, Switzerland and China have similar laws on the books. One Chinese mall went so far as painting the parking spots pink.
• Critics point out that this is sexist against women because it implies that they’re worse drivers than men.
• On the other hand some say its sexist against men because they are stuck with less than ideal places to park.
• The laws seem to have come about in the 90s when people became concerned about sexual assault in unlit parking lots.
