Women's-Only Parking Lot

With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking lots, especially during evening hours, the Minneapolis City Council has established a "Women Only" parking lot at the Mall of America.

Even the parking lot attendants are exclusively female so that a comfortable and safe environment is created for patrons. Below is the first picture available of this world-first women-only parking lot in Minnesota.




*giggle* Got this (from a female!) in my work email today. I found it amusing enough to share.

I *KNEW* that's what I was going to see when I opened this. :)

I didn't. *grin* Perhaps that's why I found it so amusing.

I'm often getting "how to avoid being raped in parking lot" emails from my female co-workers, so I was expecting something along the same lines... a group of smiling women around their cars, or something!

I looked at that and said, "Hey, that's Germany, not Minnesota!" Then I relaxed and got the joke. (note: longer thinner liscence plates and 2 Fiat Polski's, the smallest cars I've ever seen, mostly unheard of in North America)

Did you watch Underworld? Were those License Plates real? They resembled European Plates, but seemed just different enough that I wasn't sure.

I thought this was serious until I saw the pic. I thought to myself...Another liberal scare tactic.

Uhhh.... what? I'm confused. VERY confused.

C'mon, Julia. Women don't really get raped -- it's just a liberal scare tactic.

Kind of like gay marriage threatening the moral fiber of our country. Oh, wait.

Yeah, I've seen that before. It still makes me giggle. And for the most part, that's probably what would happen....

Um, no.

That seriously looks like how my mom would drive!
