China's pink, oversized women-only car parks slammed as sexist

Oversized female-only parking spots marked with a stiletto icon in eastern China have been strongly criticised as sexist on Chinese social media.
The controversial parking spaces at the Jiande and Tonglu service stations in the Zhejiang province are reportedly 3.2-metres wide — or one-and-a-half times the size of "normal" parking spaces.
They join a growing number of extra-large designated women parking spots being unveiled around the country, from shopping malls in Chongqing in south-west China to Hebei in the north.
The purpose of the spaces have been hotly debated on Chinese social media site Sina Weibo, with many netizens saying they reinforce the stereotype that women are bad drivers while others say it is a considerate design

I read it as parking for fatties but it looks like they are just giving all women more room to park because they can't drive.

Why would they complain? I’d love parking spots like that.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.
If it weren't a problem, it wouldn't require a solution.

i thought the same thing, thought it was just for fat women, not all women, and that they were extra wide so they could open the doors all the way to get their fat asses in and out.

I would love this in America! Not for fatties, or idiot drivers, but for moms that have to get kids in and out of car seats on both sides of the vehicle. Right now I just make sure I find an end spot and park as far away from the adjacent spot as I can. If you park in a regular spot and any idiot parks on the line you’re FRICKED - There is no way to get a car seat carrier through the car door if that shite happens.
