I am not sure, but it looks like the Australians have gone a bit bonkers. They say that the traffic lights are sexist, because they only have men on the pedestrian crossings.

In Victoria, they are planning to have an equal number of traffic lights with men and ladies. The lady figure will be an old 19th century type figure, and not a modern lady. To me it does not really make sense. The old 19th century figure is however a joke, the real figure would look more like the one below.

Below is another example of a female light!!

Below is a video on the subject.

The question however is, will something like a traffic light figure make a real difference? Advertising still shows women cleaning, washing, cooking, while the men are doing the cool things, like drinking beer, watching sport etc. Will washing powder cell better when a man is telling his buddies about the good qualities of the brand?

What do you think?

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.

Most retarded thing ever, The silhouette of a woman is the exact same for men and woman when you have 12 by 12 pixel.

Telling woman that they should be wearing dresses is what's sexist.

Hi @noagenda thank you for reading and commenting

Yes, I also think it is taking it to far, there are more important things than traffic lights that will make a difference.

This is funny. Probably some joker who sells traffic lights started this so can make more money.

Yes I think you are right, they are making money out of this, I wonder if they will change the men at work signs at roadworks to be female as well.

haha.... more to come then.

Brilliant post! Happy to see your most decent payout for this. Steem on!
