Are women-only parking lots necessary?

Eric (China)

I live and drive in China. Either it is impossible to find where you can park legally or the parking spaces are really small, especially for women who have trouble parking in the space. So designating some parking places 'women-only' would make it even more difficult to find a space. Carpark planners should make all spaces more generous to accommodate modern wider cars. In my experience it is not the parking that's difficult, but opening the doors to get out!

A shopping mall in Chongqing has designated a women only zone for female drivers who have trouble in parking on Oct 14, 2014.
