The Chinese do!  ;D
ARTICLE (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2009/12/chinese-mall-to-open-colorful-spacious-parking-lot-for-women-drivers/1)

Quote"The lot offers wider parking spaces especially designed for female drivers, who tend to cause twice as many collisions in parking lots than in other places, according to insurance company data," the Global Times says.

Specially trained female parking guides will also be on hand to direct the drivers when they pull in, the Global Times says.

Side story: Went to drop off the Civic for repairs this morning and a lady in an SUV was parked 2 ft over a double white line while waiting for her husband to drop off his car. Saw the same thing yesterday when a lady in giant Chevy pickup did a perfect job parking right smack down the middle of 2 parking spots.  [roll] To be fair, I've seen men do the same thing when they drive road tanks too.  :P

The differnce is most men do it because they don want to slam the door into someone elses car and theyll only be there for a quick min.

Ive done that. You have to delibertely park so no one else can occupy that space, or someone will try to squeeze in there and destroy your door trying to get out.
