Women’s parking spots or spaces marked with signs like “reserved for women” or “women only” are sexist. They represent a clear form of gender discrimination, favoring one group while deliberately excluding another.

They unilaterally privilege one group and effectively deny access to others in this case, men. If women’s parking spots exist, there should logically be men’s parking spots too. BUT THERE AREN’T. Precisely because of this, it’s a one-sided and blatantly unfair favoritism.

Theoretically, men could park there, but the label alone deters them, and in private facilities, their vehicles can even be towed or penalized. Imagine signs reading “Park only if you’re Jewish,” “Reserved for Blacks, no Whites,” or any random group without a compelling reason like “Doctors on duty” near a hospital the outrage would be massive.

It’s more than questionable why women’s parking spots aren’t treated as discrimination and sexism. In principle, they should be legally classified as disadvantaging men and prosecuted accordingly instead, they’re sold as “tolerant” and “progressive,” with the state eagerly playing along.

The standard excuse is always: Women’s parking spots are for women’s safety. This raises a glaring question: “Don’t men need safety too?” How is that supposed to make sense? Should men park in dangerous, dark dead ends because “men = strong,” while women get sorted into bright, flower-decorated spots with cameras?

Safety needs aren’t gender-specific. Men also feel unsafe in certain places, though it’s often ignored or hushed up. Many men feel pressured to act tough and deny their fear in such situations.
Men too are victims of violence in and around parking garages, and overall, men are statistically more often victims of physical assaults than women. If statistics are invoked to justify women’s spots, one could just as easily pick stats where men are the victims and introduce men’s parking spots. Or ones where mostly whites or blacks are affected, and reserve spots just for them.
In other words: Find stats for Group X and make protections only for Group X.
This exposes how absurdly selective such “objective reasons” are safety should apply to everyone, not just based on cherry-picked numbers.
Instead of favoring one group, create measures that benefit all: better lighting, video surveillance, emergency call pillars, and general safety concepts protecting people not just women, not just men, but everyone.

The most bitter part: This sexism and discrimination against men happens openly, right in front of everyone’s eyes and society and state even market it as modern, important, and “sensitive.” HELLO, ARE YOU ALL BLIND OR WHAT?
True equality means equal rights and duties for all not special rights for one group while quietly sidelining the other.

If you spot sexism like women’s parking spots or other disadvantages, start with the clean approach:

• Send a factual but firm email to the company or parking operator.
• If nothing happens, escalate: Write to the city, mayor, or relevant authorities, explaining why it’s discriminatory.

Alternatively, you could try eye-catching tactics like “Sexism” stickers or markings. But: Anything involving damage, graffiti, or unauthorized sticking is illegal and can lead quickly to charges via cameras, witnesses, or facial recognition, resulting in messy proceedings.
In the end, the media would run: “Men are aggressive, that’s why we need more women’s spots,” while the real issue remains unchanged.

Bottom line: The anger is totally justified you’re allowed to be furious But the smartest way is to fight this sexism with legal, documented means, not let an unfair system criminalize you too.
