国外机场划分女性车位引争议
Frankfurt airport has caused controversy after it painted a section of its car park pink and designated it entirely for the use of women.
法兰克福机场近日将部分停车区涂成粉色并将其指定为女士专用，这一举动引发了广泛争议。
Worse still for people striving for equality, the Ladies Parking section has bigger parking bays insinuating they require less skill to manoeuvre their vehicle safely into the parking spot.
According to airport authorities, the new bays offer 'quick, safe and convenient from your parking to the terminal.'
Airport officials said the bays are 'bigger, nicer and close to the terminals'.
They added: 'This is our exclusive parking offer at Frankfurt Airport for women only. With new and special designed parking areas, which are colour-coded and easy to find.'
Women hoping to avail of the new parking zones have to find their way to the pink areas which are located in several areas.
According to the airport's website, forward-planning women can avail of 'early bird online rates' and save more than 50 per cent on the cost of their parking.
Geraldine Herbert, editor of Wheels for Women magazine told The Local that many areas in Germany have a requirement that 30 per cent of parking spaces are allocated exclusively for women.
She said: 'It's very patronising for women to be singled out in this way. All this does is reinforce the stereotype that women are bad at parking.'
