The War of the Roses
From the same country that gave us the gender segregated parking structures (extra large spaces, more direct iconic guide signs, etc.) comes "adult male kindergarten".

Men Get Own Kindergarten While Women Shop
BERLIN (Reuters) - German women fed up with their partners' grumbling on weekend shopping trips can now dump them at a special kindergarten for men offering beer and entertainment.
"The women are issued a receipt for their partners when they hand them in and can pick them up again when they return it to us later," Alexander Stein, manager of the 'Nox Bar' in the northern city of Hamburg told Reuters on Tuesday.
The men are given a name badge on arrival and for 10 euros ($11.80) they get two beers, a hot meal, televised football and games.
Stein said the idea for the Saturday afternoon men's creche, or "Maennergarten," came from a female customer who thought it would be a good way of getting rid of her husband so she could shop in peace.
"She found it all too stressful and thought this might be the solution. Both were very happy with the way it turned out.
"Last week the men had a remote control car to play with. Next week there's going to be a mini racetrack," said Stein.
They are also offering a drilling workshop.
"It beats sitting around in shoe shops, that's for sure," one man told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.
