O.T. - Gender equality my ar*se!!!! 7-Mar-2017 At 2:37:58 PM Andy P

Message

Today. Melbourne, Australia, 7th March 2017.
At exorbitant cost to the tax-paying citizens of 'The Most Livable City In The World', we Melburnians are to have the 'little green man' on the pedestrian crossing lights changed to a 'little green woman' coz (a faction of) our fairer friends (I'm male) think its unfair and demand gender equality.
The city is spending Ridiculous amounts of money on a 'trial' of a bunch of key crossings. If this 'trial' is deemed a success ALL crossings in Victoria will be changed to the green lady.
FFS, I shake my head I really do.
What about the poor LGBTXYZ men who wear dresses and the 'wimmin' who dress like blokes? Or our Muslim friends with their burkas etc? Where's their say? Let alone the disabled?
FFS again. Cut the crap and just do what the Americans do and flash 'WALK' or 'DON'T WALK'. How freekin' easy is it? Or does it have to be in multi-lingual too for fear of offending non-English speakers.
I'm Welsh and can speak the lingo, where's MY sign?
Extrapolate: Toilet door signs, traffic signs 'SLOW, workmen ahead', blahdi blahdi blah...... Any & Every sign to be changed to gender neutral coz a few fckn greenies arked up and winged! Makes my bl**dy blood boil it really does. Yeah, coz it's coming out of MY taxes whereas we're short on Emergency Services, the hospitals and schools are dreadfully under-funded and our Premier reneged on a crucial infrastructure road tunnel project which cost us Victorians AU$ONE POINT ONE BILLION DOLLARS in penalties.
Right, am going for a walk to simmer down. Happens will pass the bottle shop so'll grab six.
T'ra,
