CHINA - Bigger parking spots for women are driving a bit of debate.

A China business owner created eight spaces, all painted in pink, that are 50-percent bigger than the normal spots... and they are just for the ladies.

He created the spots because he said he noticed women struggling with parking, reversing and recklessly causing disorder.

Some are now saying the spaces are a bit sexist and even offensive to women.

In case you're wondering, traffic deaths in China are three times higher for men than women.
