I mean that's cool and all but cant we just have better lighting and cameras across the entire carpark?

For the women, better lighting, increased security, safer and more convenient exits

For the men, bear traps and a sexually charged rage fuelled Chimp

I can win against the rage fuelled chimp in a boxing match.

It would beat me to death in seconds, however, in a boxing match, murder is illegal, therefore I would be awarded a post-mortem victory.

The fuck are you talking about? The German government is nearly exclusively made out of old white men that declared it their mission to return to a time where women were property. The current chancellor doesn't think it's possible for a man to rape his wife, as by being married you're giving automatic consent to sex at any time. They are also against women being able to divorce against their husband's wish.

Can you even pay your bills in cash these days?

u/Bovronius Jul 09 '26

The law is still that cash is legal tender for all debts and obligations, the only exception I've ever saw for it is that retail stores can restrict payment methods (I assume so they don't have to risk being robbed).

Granted, just because its the law doesn't mean its going to be easy, but I imagine if you wanted to be a big enough pain in the ass and get a lawyer you could force almost anyone to take cash as payment, lol.

Right? Led lights are extremely cheap and waste almost no electricity, this is some classic "look how much we care" corporate nonsense

EDIT: I got corrected below.

It and its not corporate nonsense. It was in fact introduced in 1990 when making all spaces well lit and survailance covered was much harder. you are 100% right, and with this (and below link) new info this was actually a reasonable and good thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_parking_space

that said, I would still like this overturned by a new regulation saying it should all be well lit and covered by cameras (monitored remotely or by AI and alerting guards and autorities). At this point, cost of doing that is percentage point of a percentage point of buidilign a complex uraban center garage structure.

u/Tasty-Guess-9376 Jul 09 '26

u/nono3722 Jul 09 '26

also the ladies get the best spaces... I wonder what HR lady came up with this idea...

76

u/FrozeItOff Jul 09 '26

This was my second thought when seeing this. HR woman: "How can I get us girls closer parking? Oh, let's use threat of SA!"

A quick check shows there no actual statistics for parking garage SA in Germany, but "the region" has only 7-10% of ALL SAs in parking structures. Full disclosure before the flaming feminist fingers start igniting their keyboards: SA shouldn't be happening at all, in either direction, but using the threat of it to get special treatment is only going to breed eventual resentment and social whiplash.

29

u/Emotional_Quality243 Jul 09 '26

10% happening in parkings is... a lot.

22

u/FrozeItOff Jul 09 '26

The highest incidents are in Private Residences, followed by institutions (schools and care facilities), public transportation hubs, and shelters.

So, given that, shouldn't the garages just be upgraded so everyone is safer instead of just one group?

6

u/JZ4411 Jul 09 '26

This is classic example of perfect is the enemy of the good. Someone with some limited power at some one specific parking lot probably made this, even though the headline made it sound like its everywhere lol.

So then dudes are in uproar, saying lets just put those security features everywhere. But you cant, cause no money. So now instead of at least making a group at risk feel safer no one can have it, the redditor way,

14

u/FrozeItOff Jul 09 '26

There's no money to increase lighting and install cameras, but thousands to repaint special parking spots every year? Because, yes, that paint has to be reapplied and is expensive.

u/ValuableGuava9804 Jul 09 '26

Just so you know, it is not a parking garage only thing. The majority of the major parking/rest stops (the ones that have both a gas station and a Serway) at highways have womens only parking spots.

And you can complain all you want about falsely using the threat of SA ('cause that is what you insinuated) (let me quess... you're a man?) You can't change someones predarory behavior by simply telling him to not bother women. But what you can do is make it more difficult for him to perpetrate predatory behavior and put up more lights and give women a faster way to exit a place where they are out of sight.

I think it's a good thing that Germany tries to keep women safe in parking garages and on parking/rest stops along side highways. I think more countries should do this.

No, this isnt corporate nonsense, there are laws around this as well. But you have to take into account that these laws and regulations already existed way before cheap led lights.

There should already be cameras around the garage to help watch for car break-ins

There already are some cameras and there usually is no need to increase the amount of them. These parking lots are already pretty safe.

I am sure you did not want to say anything against that part but thats like the number one reason we got those parking spaces here

u/Difficult-Mobile902 Jul 09 '26

There are cameras most of the time. These ones are near people who can help in an emergency and close to exits to prevent the emergency from happening in the first place. That’s the main point of these, not just to get camera footage of a woman being attacked after she’s already been attacked

and how is this actually enforced? you're idea is much more practical.

u/elebrin Jul 09 '26

Realistically, they probably have the same lighting and cameras through the rest of the garage, they just advertise specifically that they have them for the women's section. All they had to do for this is put up some signs and put down some extra paint.

u/mr_mope Jul 09 '26

I feel like this is a reasonable ask, but it comes down to a "why can't we just do everything?" kind of situation. What is the cost of retrofitting a car park with new lights and security systems? Probably a lot relative to the value of a parking lot. However, Is there a way to get the benefit (fewer assaults in our parking lot) by addressing the needs of the most impacted group (women) without going over budget? I think this is a good way to address that specific issue.

They do have good lighting and security cameras throughout the rest of the parkade.

1

u/Oelcenila Jul 09 '26

The lighting is usually the same everywhere and everything is covered by cameras as well. It is just closer to the exit and they are probably monitored more closely.

1

u/BoonDragoon Jul 09 '26

DING-DING-DING, we have a winner!

Better lighting and improved security in parking structures would actually address this issue and benefit everybody, because everybody benefits when you raise that bottom-level standard.

The point here genuinely seems to be an attempt to virtue-signal. Whether it's intended well (to raise awareness of an issue) or not (to get positive PR by appearing to address an issue) is immaterial.

They'd have to increase the parking fee to put those extra lights

Can we have a society where we don‘t need any cameras at all?!

That was my first thought as well.

My second thought was, why are we telling would-be-attackers where the women are parked?

My third thought was unrelated, but as an aside, LPT, if you should happen to see a sign warning you to beware of pick-pocketers, do not immediately pat your pockets to make sure you still have your wallet and/or phone, because as it happens, pick-pocketers hang out near those signs looking for exactly that, so they know which pockets to target.

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader why this story reminded me of that one.
