German man sues for discrimination over female parking spots set up in well-lit area after a woman was raped nearby

A German man has sued a town for discrimination over 'female-only' parking spots which were set up after a woman was raped nearby.

Dominik Bayer said the car parks in the town of Eichstätt in Bavaria discriminated against men.

The signs indicating the parking spots were also prejudiced against women because they suggested females could not look after themselves, he said.

But town officials said the signs were only a suggestion and that men would not be punished for parking there, N-TV reported.

The parking spaces were set up in well-lit areas after a woman was raped in the town in 2016.

The town's legal officer Hans Bittl said the female parking spots were there 'on safety grounds'.

The signs were 'purely a suggestion' and a male driver could not be prosecuted for parking there, Mr Bittl said.

'It is statistically proven that more women are the victims of violent crime than men,' he said.

The car park is near an old people's home, and younger women who work there often have to arrive early or leave late in the dark.

Germany's federal anti-discrimination agency has said that female parking spaces do not violate equality laws.

Police could not intervene if a man parked there but the owner of the car park could ban a motorist from the site, they said.

Sorry guys it's skewed in the direction of females but it's that way because males victimize females, as soon as it becomes a thing for women to rape men on the street, then you can have one too.

Herr Bayer should consider getting this newfangled device called a "flashlight", or dropping some Euros to update his car to one that has a remote to activate his engine and headlights as he walks to his car.
Something tells me that "Frau Bayer" is only a reference to his mother.

I cant understand why the stores/company don’t have to ensure the entire lot is well lit at all times. Then no need for specified parking spots for women that are “safer”.its not a valid corrective action as it doesn’t come near to a good root cause analysis. And personally I detest preferential parking for anything but disabled/handicapped parking.

Thought it isn't defamation if it's true?

The dude that sued needs to get raped in a parking lot. Then a woman should sue him cause it happened to him.
