Aus/pol/ - Traffic Lights Are Sexist Edition

>A Melbourne feminist group has won in its push to have several traffic lights around Melbourne changed into 'female' figures as part of a push for gender equality and to reduce "unconscious bias."
>The group eventually want all traffic lights to have an even split between male and female traffic lights.

What a waste of tax payer money. The feminists would have been better to donate the thousands of dollars to womens shelters.

Please nuke us

nuke me daddy ;)

>womens shelters
that would actually help people. what, do you
expect them to donate to companies working on breast tissue regrowth projects for women who have had their tits chopped off?
you fucking sexist, how dare you. if people listen to your bigoted ass they might start helping victims of abuse, both male and female next. then what, are we supposed to just put up with a friendly and welcoming society?

Never change Australia

this is too absurd even for danny boy's cucktoria in the current year

fuck me dead this place is a lost cause

is Fiji cucked?

Don't pay this any fucking attention, its all just smoke and mirrors to distract from whats really going on.

Don't die on me Australia

this is beyond a joke.

Nope. Fiji cool

don't worry its only ((melbourne))

The lights manufacturer installed them for free in hope of securing a contract if they are rolled out all over the city.

>>A Melbourne feminist group has won in its push to have several traffic lights around Melbourne changed into 'female' figures as part of a push for gender equality and to reduce "unconscious bias."
But they're arguing against their own whining about male being the "default". Traffic light pictograms have a generic human shape.

meanwhile

There is no difference between the traffic light pictogram and the male bathroom symbol

That being said I'm surprised they don't think the dress being necessary to denote a woman is archaic

...

This is so fucking stupid I almost can't believe it.

Fucking sexists
I always presumed they were flat-chested women wearing jeans
Now they basically wanna burka the crossing
Absolutely disgusting!

If this is really what they fucking want, they should pick a gender neutral pictogram of a human so as to not offended any particular gender.

Guess what, that gender neutral one happens to more closely resemble a man cause men don't have bits that fucking stick out

Sunrise to apologise for Cultural Appropriation in 3.. 2.. 1..

it has backfired. some SJWs are saying that the lights are enforcing 'gender stereotypes' and that not all women wear dresses - which is true.

>That being said I'm surprised they don't think the dress being necessary to denote a woman is archaic
Ask them if it is and they'll say yes. But in the next moment they'll still argue for changing out the traffic lights. SJWs are not consistent.

why the fuck does this even have to be an issue? you could replace the pictogram for crossing with a dog and it wouldn't change anything.

>only one remotely asian looking girl
brilliant

I just saw this. Fucking hell. Cunts like this are why Melbourne is considered the cuck capital of the Southern Hemisphere. What a goddamn waste of tax payer money.

I love that even when you directly try and pander to the left it's never enough.

They're a complete and utter waste of time.

I'm offended they're white. Why they have to be white? Why can't they be black?

That's true. You could also make the light a hollow circle for pedestrians. What a fucking dumb idea it was to do this

>I'm not a dog, it's not my turn to cross

My favourite part was how it looked like the dressed figure had a gigantic girthy cock.

are you a curry or a coconut?

Who were counting down until 1am to unlock their Year One files?

They're not white. Some are red and some are green.

They can't be black because they need to be visible at night.

Mates I drank two Coopers sparkling ales today. My previous record was one. Got me drunk as fuck. I couldn't walk straight.

did you just assume my gender?

i am, midnight for me

>men don't have bits that stick out
user...

Brisbane?

yes

We are pretty much linked with Israel and America, Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will keep us safe, why else do you think that we are still allowed to have basically prison islands that breaks every humanitarian right and also strong border protection? Australia is a safezone

least you've moved on from pales

Even if this is funded by taxpayer money, it seems like a worthwhile investment. Think about it, a few million to publicly highlight the absolutely ludicrous juvenile reasoning behind the SJW movement. The media love it, its a story that is guaranteed to get views/shares based on its sheer idiocy. 1% of the voting public with purple hair and a Tumblr account think its brilliant, the rest of us taxpaying workers think it is stupid. Its basically an advertising campaign to bring more average voters/fence-sitters into a more adult way of viewing this crap. If anything it should be encouraged, feed more fuel to the fire of self-destructive virtue signalling.

Nothing pisses off the average taxpayer than seeing their dollars spent on complete crap. Or am I wrong?

...

Women are fucking pathetic.
>yay we're represented on traffic lights
Fuck if I didn't have a dick and giant set of balls, before offing myself for being born the lesser gender I'd feel ashamed of being a chick.

sending my thots and prayers

what the fuck

my wife could drink you under the table and legally drive home afterwards

>Or am I wrong?

no. i agree.

Your wife sounds like a real pig m8. Disgusting.

Every real Australian knows only WA & QLD are based.
NT has some amazing whites, but much like South Africa, they're brought down by the scum around them.

country vic is fucking mint cunt

remove melbourne

This country needs:
1. Right wing opposition that isn't run by a tuck shop lady, and isn't a joke in the eyes of the population.
2. A big shock to absolutely destroy the comfort we live with.

>t. inbred Gippsland dairy farmer

any sheila could handle three beers worth of piss

LDP/ON/National alliance run by Dick Smith

grew up in a regional city on the other side of the state

but nice try, i guess

The whole cuck state is contaminated and need to be purged

>By Rawan Arraf Rawan Arraf is a Palestinian-Australian human rights lawyer practising in the area of refugee protection.

>watch the project
>they are shilling the women strike for one day thing that is happening
>actually said the mexican strike was successful after "resturants closed"
>didn't mention all the people saying the roads were less busy, classrooms didn't have their trouble maker students in attendance and people begging for them to do it again
Apprenlty the US is having a women's strike tomorrow, thoughts?

I was just being a shitcunt, regional vic is picturesque

>men don't have bits that fucking stick out

will steve price win?

I aplaude this sensible program. Women should be walking, not driving.

I drank half a bottle of turkey, two bottles of wine and then drove down to get another two bottles of wine on Saturday. Only got through one and a half of the second bottle because it was putrid.

I read AJ pretty much every day, they are heavily against Israel. All news has a bias but a lot of them are hippies

who is ready for dan andrews to meme victorias housing market into oblivion?

it sounds like some of that "economic justice" ive heard so much about

>wine and turkey
bad mix

underatted

I feel like I have seen this exact same post before.

Are you a shill m8?

I think Daniel Andrews is probably the worst premier any state has ever had

At dinner my grandmother and I got into an argument about asylum seekers.

She’s old. I’m young.

She completed Grade 10. I completed University.

She wants to stop the boats. I believe there’s nothing worse.

I had tears in my eyes as she spewed spit across the table, yelling about how they were all terrorists. I said I would rather save 10,000 refugees and take the risk that one might be a terrorist than have the death of that many people on my conscience.

I probably shouldn’t have sworn. She probably shouldn’t be racist.

When you're an alcoholic it's impossible to mix poorly.

You can drink everything.

High tier banter

in your defence the sparkling ale is pretty strong, which is amplified if you havent had them before. its still my go to 6 pack for pre drinks. gets ya well trashed

Most alcoholics I know are the opposite.

They have quite elaborate theories about what goes with what and what causes bad hangovers and what fixes them.

you're a disgrace

Some slightly interesting shit went down at Monash about an hour ago (well interesting for Uni politics anyways)

>Kevin Andrews comes on campus for speech
>Monash Student Association's Social Justice (notorious for being filled with Socialist Alternative and Labor scum) department """protest"""
>Post on the Uni facebook page has over 1k likes in just about half an hour
>99% posts saying something has to be done about it including petitions, running Rise Up parties against the scum, etc.

Are Melbourne uni's about to fight back? Will we finally Make Australia Great Again?

>pre drinks
pre what m8? My whole life is one long pre with no main.

Could be used as a hashtag campaign.

They sound like low tier alcoholics.

But considering you got pissed off two beers I'm guessing the alcoholics you know are the guys who can drink 8 beers before passing out.

but user, now it will make sense people don't understand the signals and cross on red

I really hate when facebook sponsors his post/s and their pretty much "Like my facebook if you support blank (Medical maryJ etc).

How long has he been in for?

you'll realize the error of your ways as you get older (and wiser)

Fuck up you poof

>My whole life is one long pre with no main

that must be unfortunate for your missus m8

Right I have a solution.
Get all our guys out of Melbourne, build a wall, declare NZ replacement state.

Watch Melbourne implode.

Profit?

So cunts, what do we about the mining companies abusing Fly-in, fly-out workers?

>Drink driving
Fuck off you degenerate cunt

yea but there are two types of alcoholics, Functional and Dysfunctional

Functional alcoholics will be more likely to drink better alcohol, know how to handle themselves but still drink a lot with the occasion of getting too drunk

Dysfunctional alcoholics will go for the cheapest, strongest shit they can get, they drink only to get drunk and more likely to become homeless and start fights out in the city on a Saturday night

infrastructure

>melbourne
I honestly feel sorry for the people living in the rest of victoria.

good head on your shoulders, we need it to be a bunch of short operations (less than 4 years) so the gov can use it to get votes. if they are substantial infrastructure op's like the inland sea thing, it'll take too long and muh votes and tax dollars etc.bullshit will be called.

Make me.

>3 years
too much time looking at yank politics

>melbourne
jesus christ what next
they are the absolute fucking scum of this country

>8 beers before passing out
The most I have done was a bottle of turkey and half a bottle of Johnnie Walker
This was at my lowest point, lately I have been going through 12 standard drinks a night and a bottle of scotch for both Friday and Saturday nights

Some of the scotch is usually shared but I drink majority of it

>mining companies abusing Fly-in, fly-out workers?
How exactly? I work fifo and it's alright. It pays well enough and Perth itself is pretty isolated I wouldn't want to live in any of the places I've been to.
