A Women focused insurance company in the UK is lobbying for "Pink Zones", where parts of or entire roads are reserved for only women. Imagine bus lanes but extremely patronizing and for women. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Thankfully this proposal be firmly put in the "Not going to happen" box.

Can we have a "Jalopnik" lane, where only Jalopnik users can go on them?

I'm all for it! Keep the good drivers segregated from people like my ex-wife (who is a woman!). I think she averages 3 accidents a year. Most of them minor things like going through the partially open garage door...

I'm OK with her poposal. 3 lane highway? Sure give 50% off people on the road 1 lane and the other 50% get the remaining 2 lanes. Derp.

You know what I find sexist and unfair? Women have their own bathroom AND get a unisex bathroom. Men are stuck with just the unisex bathroom. That is not fair.

Thats... Thats pretty uncommon. Its probably only seen at the most absurdly left wing liberal arts colleges.

I've seen it in multiple places here in SF Bay area. But one really personally annoying place was the university gym...

Sounds great! Now, here come the gays, transgender males over 30, women who hate pink, seniors over 65, left handed drivers, who all want their own lanes. Whadda we do now?

I would intentionally drive in the pink lanes and revel in my oppression of women.

Women can't use urinals, so there's that.

These are private bathrooms. They both have one toilet and one sink. It used to be a women's and men's. They turned the men's into a unisex and left the women's for just women.

I really have no idea what to say to such an idea, let alone to it actually happening.

I'm all for equal opportunities for all regardless of age, sex, race, religion, etc... but when it goes from 'we want equal rights for all' to 'but we are better so we should have...' then that pi55es me off. Mens only clubs are ruled sexist and have to open up to all yet womens only places are justifiable to protect women from sexual predators, etc...

I don't often agree with Europe but they ruled it illegal to base the cost of insurance on age and sex of the holder and so the costs were brought into line. Almost as soon as it was announced some women's organisations argued that they should pay less because they are better drivers.

Equal rights is equal rights not equal rights-but...

its only 640,000 dollars a mile! that's how much it would cost to repave everything where I live, not just paint it. I love the survey results, the survey was on behalf of this insurance company, which means the results are highly skewed...

THANKS OBAMA!!!
