This guy in Ipanema goes schmoozing
And when he threatens, each one he threatens goes...oh no.
but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I disdain him
Yes I would share my liberal views gladly
But each day, he tells me he hates the gays
and women and moderate muslim ways.
And when he passes, I scowl - but he doesn't see
He just doesn't see, he doesn't see me.

No.
I lived in Long Beach, king of all parking hell. I once parallel parked my car in such a tight space my neighbor actually texted me and said:
"good luck getting your car out tomorrow, its completely blocked in."
I wrote back and said "I PARKED it there."
I shit you not there was perhaps and inch in front and behind it.
Oh, I also work occasionally as a valet for a company that is ALL women.
Want to see some INSANE amazing parking Daily Fail?
Come along to work with me...

Those things are amazing. Melon flavored! It's like candy! And nicotine!
And cloves. Le sigh.

Sigh. I will miss that. I hate smoking actually, but think this ban is ridiculous.

I actually am kind of boasty and protective of my super parking powers, in large part because of assumptions like those cited in the Daily Fail. And, um, I have been known to talk at length about my car's exceptional turning radius.

Also, once a friend's car got stuck terribly in snow/ice in Boston. Two older guys I was with tried for an hour to get it out, while I kept saying that we should try this other method (the rocking method). They didn't listen, but before giving up entirely we tried my version. About 5 minutes later, the car was out. I was in the driver's seat.
AND I HAVE A VAGINA!!!!1!

Driving in NY. Alternate side of the street parking was in effect, so there were a lot of cars double parked. Also, it had been snowing, so there was about 2 feet of snow between tightly packed cars and against the curb. I saw a spot buried in the middle of four cars.
Nailed it.

@Gretchen is a new kitten mom!: That is amazing. Parallel parking yes, large trucks... less confident!

Who are the women that encourage these Raymond Clark types by dating them?

What varies is how long women stay with guys like that -- sometimes they grew up in an abusive home, so they don't know a different reality. Sometimes they think it'd be too dangerous to leave, and so they stay in the relationship. Some women don't believe it's abuse. Some women have been beaten down to the point where think they deserve it. And so on. Some women say eff this, I'm outta here.
Also? Kinda victim-blaming isn't very cool. It's not really up to women to encourage or discourage certain behaviors in men. He learned abuse somewhere, he can unlearn it. Problem is, abusers don't think there's anything wrong with the way they treat their intimate partners. And victims who may be looked at as encouraging or enabling this behavior are generally trying to maximize their own safety and don't give a shit about giving a gift to society in the form of a reformed abuser, when in the process of that reform, they may get themselves killed.
