'A TikTok video showing female-designated parking spaces has sparked a debate about women's safety.

User @natashagallier shared a clip of the parking lot in Perth, Western Australia, on Wednesday. Her footage showed pink signs reading "Kindly reserve this bay for female drivers," as well as walls and columns painted pink to demarcate the spaces.
...
The spaces were introduced by local authorities in Perth in 2016. The multi-story parking lot in the city center has 28 "female friendly" bays located near the entrance and exits. The areas also have upgraded lighting, additional CCTV surveillance and assistance intercoms.

Men aren't fined if they park in the bays but are encouraged to follow the guidance.

Opinions were divided about the spaces when they were introduced. The president of the National Council of Women Australia, Barbara Baikie, told news.com.au in April 2016: "I understand why that may be necessary to keep women safe, but I would think this is just a Band-Aid solution.

"A much better solution would be to educate young men to respect women and not attack them."'

More men are attacked and killed on the streets than women.
Sexist measures that help the minority victims goes to show who really runs the country. (Hint: it isn't men!)

It seems these fembots are incapable of reading statistics from the ABS, and are only able to live in the world of memes and feminist myths.

Women are less likely to be assaulted in public by strangers compared to men, but the entrenched "female victimhood" myth means the safety of men continues to be ignored by women in positions of power. This is what feminist government looks like. Leading by gender bias rather than science.
