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

    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
