    Let's not try to take my comment too far out of context or be rude to one another over it.

    Alright, then. Let's unpack this then:

    All I am saying here is that it was stupid for them to create women-only parking spots

    One point to consider may be that you've found this years-old story, duplicated in country after country in Asia, stupid because you've not put a great deal of thought into it. I'd like to suggest to you that it's punched a button and, that particular button having been punched, you've obligingly lashed out. This capsule version you've offered when challenged is different from what you first said:

    Men growing up in any culture today are never leaving boyhood because of how emasculated they are.

    This is substantively, revealingly nothing at all whatsoever to do with what you're claiming now.

    Consider the young boy learning to drive. He is unskilled and therefore if he needs extra space he will not be allowed to park in those unskilled spaces because they are for women. So he will be forced to have much more anxiety over hitting objects than he could have had if he was permitted some extra room.

    Let me be sure I understand. There is a boy. He is forced by gender-biased traffic wardens into debilitating, lifelong panic attacks over his under-developed parking skills. As we know, he is entombed in sexual immaturity because, as you say, "society is lately overcompensating and giving women extra rights to make up for their inequality in other areas."

    My assertion was only that the gender inequalities are a double edged sword.

    No, that's not what you said.

    I'm not sure, but I sense in this spiel of yours a spot of the 'culture of victimization' I've heard tell about somewhere.

    The boy, here, is incapable of self-responsibility or behind-the-wheel driving skills because of bugaboos and things-that-go-bump-in-the-night? That's bizarre nonsense, to my mind.

    Create "noob parking" spots and let anyone use them.

    There is a human failing here. It feels like... scapegoating?
