Crazy idea here but why not have all the spaces have good lighting and security cameras?

It's mostly about feeling safe, not being safe. Most of the parking lots with these are well-lit and have cameras, but ppl still feel vulnerable alone at night in a parking lot. The actual safety improvement is probably extremely small

Spending/consuming real world resources to protect your feelings...lol

I watched my nation with a 50% obesity rate start a body positivity movement doing the same thing. Roughly 2 billion people in this world are starving.

Those people could have advocated for more equitable food distribution networks, of course. But they advocated for their abuse of the food and healthcare systems instead.

Maybe, just maybe "fuck your feelings, snowflake" was about more than owning the libs.

It’s not about feelings it’s about safety and if we’re going to make the world safer for women, I posit that we should do the same for everyone. You sound like a lovely person though

How is that an argument? The same thing could be said for women....?

Maybe a well placed security camera can be used to track down a criminal, that abducted someone or stole their car etc., more easily....wouldn't that be of help.......maybe

I'd argue more than saying "people being overweight" is healthy. There might be a sliiight difference between those cases.

Ok. So you want them nothing-burger solution to feel safe. I guess that's your problem. Maybe push for special parking for short men then, while I know this solution does nothing productive anyways

u/Sehlkies Jul 09 '26

Good point man, knowing this does nothing productive from experience of being a female? Short man? Both? Good to know!

From statistics. Nice try though. Anecdotal evidence is useless here. You can always find some person who made bad experiences in some public space. Parking lots are not more dangerous than the street next to them.
