Mall of America announces women only parking lot

October 12, 2002

Due to the high risk of danger to 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 (and what place more clearly needs a Women Only section).

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.

[note: to the several people who have written me angry notes about this picture: it’s a joke. No, I don’t think women are terrible drivers, etc etc etc. It’s a joke.]

  • Douglas Jolly

    For women only

  • Margaret Active

    for women only

  • April

    I don't think that is funny! Who says women are bad drivers...and parkers? I think it was a sexist insult. However a woman's only parking lot it is a really good idea to reduce violence towards women.
