UK: Women-only car insurance could be joined by women-only garages

Story here. Excerpt:

'If women drivers get their way, then they might be able to visit women-only garages in the future, as well as taking out specific car insurance for women.

Female drivers have voted to show that they would like to see women-only garages, because the majority often feel intimidated or patronised when taking their car to the male-dominated arena of garages.

Research from women's car insurance provider Diamond, has found that a significant proportion of women would prefer to see women-only garages, and this also applies to buying a new car, where women said they also feel patronised and would prefer to buy a new car from a saleswoman than a man.
...
"However," she added, "garages still seem to be very much men's domain and can be intimidating for some women. Women only garages could make for a more comfortable experience."'

For feminists, EVERYTHING is very much men's domain...

Statistically a man is more likely to be assaulted in a garage late at night, then; a woman. If the UK would allow people to buy and carry handguns to protect themselves maybe this wouldn't be so much of a problem.

but didn't you know? guns are evil and should be controlled in every way possible!

nevermind that such control is horribly expensive and can be somewhat avoided by NOT REGISTERING (handy for criminals).

or that people like the killer at Virginia school (i think it's Virginia. just think of any major school killing you know of) had REGISTERED GUNS.

guns should be controlled!
