Article: “Sorry guys, these lots are not for you”

1)What were some of the reasons cited in the article why there was a need to have parking lots for women only in these buildings?

Firstly, it is done for the convinience of the women as it is less tiring for women to travel long distances and have to walk a long way to lobby, especially when they are in heels.Secondly, This is to allow women to have a safer feeling parking at the reserved lots near lift lobbies.Lastly, it s easier as the reserved lots are bigger than the normal ones, it helps women, especially those with children. It is also much more easier for them to load and unload things.

2) (a) In your opinion, do you think it is necessary to allocate parking lots for women only? Why?

No, I think it is not necessary to allocate parking lots for women only. Since most of the women in singapore can drive car. Which means they have the ability to do the same thing what men can do. If the women have parking lots allocate for them only, this mean that women don't have the same ability to do things what men can do. Which means that we women are weaker than the men.

(b)Which group of people do you then feel should be allocated such priority parking? Explain.

I feel that family with disabled people, elderly men/women should have the priority parking. It would be very troublesome if for the famlily with the disable people the move them up down the car if the car is park very far away. It will also be easier for the elderly as they only need to move a short distance.
