More Politically Correct Nonsense

Here's another "I don't understand the logic of this political correctness" moment. This time it's European, not American political correctness.  It seems that the Frankfurt, Germany airport has decided women are "equal" yet need special treatment. Does that make sense? If you are a pc person it does, for political correctness says that to show we are all equal we have to give special privileges to some.

Anyway,  there are 14,000 parking spaces at Frankfurt Airport, but if you'd like one that is “bigger, nicer and closer to the terminals,” look for spots reserved for women only. Yep! Women get special spots that we male pigs are not allowed to have.  That's the pc version of equality of the sexes. The specially designed parking sections are scattered throughout the airport's parking garages, can be reserved in advance and should also be very easy to find: just look for the pink ribbon of paint on the floor marking off the wider-than-average parking spots and the pink parking garage walls that have flower graphics and signs announcing" Ladies Parking'.

Pink parking places for women is the designation. Oh, my. That smacks of stereotyping. In Germany, it is a legal requirement to provide these designated parking spaces for women so that the ladies will be closer to the terminal entrances. The parking areas are painted pink an airport spokesperson aid, “for quick and easy recognition by women drivers who are sometimes traveling with children (I guess the pc crowd thinks men never travel with small kids) as well as other drivers who should not park here; they cannot say they didn't notice the bright pink area designated for women drivers.” That sounds sexist to this male pig!

It's  also  patronizing for women to be singled out that way. And making the spots for women wider than those for men only makes it worse, because that promotes the stereotype that women are worse drivers and need more room when parking.  Gee, it's enough to make me want to put on a dress the next time I have to drive and park at the airport.
