A Chinese city believes it has a solution for the ladies when it comes to that pesky "knowing how to operate a car" thing: extra-wide parking spaces designated women-only.
And in case the spots located in highway service areas in the city of Hangzhou aren't obnoxious enough, they are outlined in pink and emblazoned with bathroom-style "women" symbols.

The Chinese city of Hangzhou has drawn a backlash for created special "women's-only" parking spaces.
The spots are 50 percent larger than normal spaces, providing a pink oasis women can seek out in order to avoid the terror of having to park in a normal-sized spot.
The spaces, which have been in existence since March, have been blasted on Chinese social media for sexism and promoting the stereotype that women can't drive.
