    Those pragmatic Germans

    Ladies-only parking spaces introduced at Frankfurt airport | Daily Mail Online

    Ladies-only parking spaces introduced at Frankfurt airport that are ‘bigger, nicer and close to the terminals’ spark sexism row in Germany
    Airport chiefs in Frankfurt have painted parking pink especially for women
    The 'sexist spaces' are bigger than normal to make it easier to park a car
    Frankfurt Airport offers women 'early bird online rates' for cheaper parking
    The pink spaces are also nearer the terminal building than regular spots
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Many places in Germany have had women-only parking spaces for years. They are supposedly for safety, and are nearer the exit. I'd guess that Frankfurt airport converted some disabled spaces and that's why they are larger.

                The Germans have quite a history of roasting.

                  But while it was "Frauen" the Daily Wail click bait producers couldn't understand it. Where the airport made the mistake was in writing it in English.

                    I'm all in favour of being nice to the fairer sex, but not this. Being a woman is not a disability.
