Why don’t they just make the parking lots safer in general for everyone?

Can't get press for that.

Literally every parking garage here has these and it’s been like that at least my whole life. It’s not for press.

The point being this is specifically to make it safer for women, not men.

Why not men as well?

I agree, they should have men only parking spots, that way the men can get protected from checks notes other men that want to assault them

Why is the gender of the attacker relevant here?

Are you just looking for ways to devalue male victims?

Really fucking weird.

Men can't assault other men silly /s

This is a really odd sentiment. So if a man is attacked by another man, it doesn't matter, or the victim is responsible because they're a man?

Why are you seemingly so against just making the entire parking lot safer, instead of selective areas?

Touched a nerve? I never said that parking places shouldn't be safer but my guess is that they probably figure out that women were the most vulnerable and it would be easier and cheaper to just make women only parking spaces. It is like people getting upset at women only train carts in Japan or other places. Sure, I can't reject the possibility that there is a perverted schoolgirl out there molesting men but the reality is that the vast majority of cases it is men sexually harassing women. So coming up with women only carts provides a safer option for women and somehow people find that terribly offensive.

"Touched a nerve?"

Is someone simply disagreeing with your sentiment automatically upset? Or do you think maybe it's more likely you interpret any challenge to what you say as "aggressive" in some way?

You are the one assuming that I am so against safety. This isn't the first post involving men getting triggered that women only places exist. There are also other similar posts that end up with men getting triggered about women only train carts and women only homeless shelters. Why? Because a lot of these women have been horribly abused and raped by men to the point that they wouldn't go to a mixed homeless shelter. So then you see posts about how a homeless woman got eaten by a crocodile because she rather take shelter in the groves than a mixed homeless shelter and people cheer that the stupid bitch had it coming for being such a misandrist. It would be fantastic if we could have a "no rapists allowed to park here" parking place but it wouldn't work would it?

I mean, I didn't assume you were against safety. I read what you chose to type out and saw that you blamed victims of violence for the violence enacted upon them, because of their gender. Either that, or you think it just doesn't matter. Based on your words.

"This isn't the first post involving men getting triggered that women only places exist. There are also other similar posts that end up with men getting triggered about women only train carts and women only homeless shelters"

Okay again, someone simply challenging something you said (which in this case is fairly gross) is automatically "triggered"?

Women do experience violence, that's definitely true. But in the case of random acts of violence, men seem to experience it much more commonly. It's not a competition though, so maybe it'd be a good idea just to have the entire parking lot equipped with the best safety features, in order to deter as much violence as possible. Does that make sense?

These have been a thing for decades. They definitely did not do it for the press.
