Worse still for people striving for equality, the Ladies Parking section has bigger parking bays insinuating³ they require less skill to manoeuvre⁴ their vehicle safely into the parking spot.

 

According to airport authorities, the new bays offer 'quick, safe and convenient from your parking to the terminal.'

 

Airport officials said the bays are 'bigger, nicer and close to the terminals'.

 

They added: 'This is our exclusive parking offer at Frankfurt Airport for women only. With new and special designed parking areas, which are colour-coded and easy to find.'

 

Women hoping to avail of the new parking zones have to find their way to the pink areas which are located in several areas.

 

According to the airport's website, forward-planning women can avail of 'early bird online rates' and save more than 50 per cent on the cost of their parking.

 

Geraldine Herbert, editor of Wheels for Women magazine told The Local that many areas in Germany have a requirement that 30 per cent of parking spaces are allocated⁵ exclusively for women.

 

She said: 'It's very patronising for women to be singled out in this way. All this does is reinforce the stereotype⁶ that women are bad at parking.'
