Votes for Women in This German Town

If you ever thought the days of chivalry and “women and children first” were over, you just have to see something we spotted.

On one of my first visits to Germany, Martin and I were visiting a small tourist town where some of his family friends lived.  I spotted this sign and couldn’t believe it:

women-first

The best parking spots were reserved for women and people with kids!  Why don’t we have this everywhere?  It could make things so much simpler for young families and women who must return unaccompanied to their cars after dark.

Does the government or the people in your community reach out to make life a little easier for one another?  I certainly love a good day of people holding open doors for each other and letting someone else go first at the checkout, don’t you?  This town just takes the cake.
