"When Melbourne pedestrians next bother looking up from their phones to cross the street, they may be stopped not by a little red man but by a little red woman in a dress.
A VicRoads-approved trial of 10 female silhouettes in the city is aiming to address the gender bias on the streets.
The Equal Crossings initiative was designed by the influential lobby group the Committee for Melbourne’s Future Focus Group and aims to promote gender equality."
thank god, melbourne really needs to be less sexist in this modern age

>Wtf! I guess I'm with Her now!
Another pointless victory for morons
Benjamin Wilson
Look
Nu-Germans on holiday will just see this as a literal green light to rape some bitches starting with these 3 fuglies
Hunter Adams
This is beyond hilarious. It implies women can only identify with a stick figure, the most basic anatomic representation of a human, if it's wearing a skirt.
Zachary Roberts
Forget all the homless and junkies that are literally everywhere. This is much more important.
Grayson Kelly
feminists don't wear dresses, and women in general don't wear them all the time. It's very stereotypical and.....extremely sexist.
Jack Young
How will we not get boners when told it is safe to walk across the street?
Jonathan Powell
What does it mean?
Caleb Watson
>Tee hee we won another victory over those stupid men! >I don't really want to have more than one kid, I'm just waiting for the right guy >Refugees welcome! >What's Sharia
Ryan Peterson
>Progressivism >Female identity means wearing a dress and nothing more.
Wew
Matthew Reyes
So its a sign i can ignore now.
Leo Rodriguez
TRANSGENDER CROSSING SIGNALS WHEN
Jacob Miller
>when Melbourne cucks care more about changing a street light instead of wanting to get rid of their increasing violent street crimes
James Flores
It'll cost $9k to replace 6 lights. Plus however much the people in charge of this are getting paid. Apparently the want half of the lights female. Sounds like a headache. This is like when they wanted to make a gay flag crossing instead of the normal zebra crossing. They had to order heaps of expensive custom pain, because no one makes road paint in those colours and some hektic lad did a burnout on it. Money well spent.
Someone seems to be desperately trying to justify their job.
Nicholas Edwards
I wonder how that would work out. A dress and a penis?
Adam Campbell
Kek
Adrian King
>girl defined by dress
Jackson Campbell
I AM A WOMAN & WEAR'TROUSERS ALL THE TIME.
IMPLYING I MUST WEAR A SKIRT IS SEXIST YOU SHITLORDS!!!
Levi White
Seems very silly thing to do by the left.
I mean, it goes against being gender neutral putting a dress on the character ;)
We could use that XD
Jeremiah Fisher
> what level of knicker-twist you at pol? > I'm reeing at level 9, bro
Matthew Evans
who's victoria?
Colton Hernandez
Fuck, that got me good.
John Perez
I never ever see skirts these days. Its all girls in tight pants that leave nothing to the imagination
Levi Russell
It's not a woman, it's a Scotsman.
Colton Williams
Why does the figure wear a dress? Implying that women should wear dresses or skirts? Sexist much shitlord?
Angel Long
Here, i solved all "gender issues" with walk signals. Now fucking pay me.
John Rivera
The things leftists are willing to bitch about never ceases to amaze me. They are fucking complaining about stick figures that light up!
The scary thing is that this stupidity doesn't seem to be coming to an end any time soon.
Zachary Cox
>but by a little red woman in a dress
How do these shitlords know it's not a man in a dress? Are they presuming their gender?
Hunter King
Clearly this is biased in favour of outie bellybuttons over innie belly buttons.
Xavier Gomez
How the fuck do those symbols represent walking? Nigger you get an F.
Jaxon Reyes
>Women don't wear trousers
Robert Clark
This has been met with an overwhelmingly negative response, literally everyone all over kikebook have been shitting on this
Theres hope
Xavier Hernandez
Wait, so the generic stick figure was assumed to be male because it wasn't wearing a skirt?
Brody Carter
There were never any issues to begin with.
Thomas Taylor
MOTHER FUCKER I WILL CUT YOU
NOW IT'S REPRESENTATIVE OF MOVING ACROSS THE STREET VS BEING BLOCKED
FIND FAULT WITH THIS I DARE YOU
Ayden Walker
kek draw tits on all of them
Justin Flores
> women aren't defined by what they wear
> ms pacman is sexist
> stop using cheap identifiers
> btw we need a skirt to feel included
> toilet signs? sexist - not all women wear skirts
> crossing signs? WHY AREN'T THEY WEARING SKIRTS!??!!?!?!?!
niggers
Nathaniel Green
"""language bias"""
Joseph Murphy
fucking makes me feel ashamed to live in the same state, atleast people dont need to pay extra for this shit since they are just trialing them on the crossings that needed replacing
Aaron King
Doesn't matter. The people who came up with this will continue to do this for a living on your tax money.
Connor Anderson
And what about the fact these idiots believe there are more than 2 genders? Can't wait to see 52 different obnoxious traffic lights installed in the name of progress. kek.
Elijah Barnes
also everyone in this thread who didn't put the correct answer - fuck you niggers
we need everyone on their fucking game and memeing the shit out of everything 24/7 the war hasn't stopped
start memeing you fucking cunts
Aaron Ross
then they would still be offended saying we aren't including all unidentified genders
Robert Collins
That's not inclusive to POC who can't read.
Liam Nguyen
Ah good! A Scotsman crossing. Those ladies look pretty pleased with themselves.
Hudson Rivera
The lines are bias because they look like representations of penises.
Bentley Kelly
Just to be clear - the people are acknowledging that the standard configuration for any human is to be male, correct? Because there is literally nothing marking out a stick figure as either sex. It is as rudimentary a depiction of a person as you possibly get.
If you gender a fucking stick figure as male, just because it isn't explicitly stated to be female, and then decide to make it female by putting a fucking SKIRT on it...then YOU are being sexist.
Juan Cooper
actually good.
Jonathan Garcia
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT there truely is no escape from this bullshit
Dylan Hall
The stick figure used across the entire fucking world is entirely androgynous and is meant to represent a human. Nothing more or less specific than that.
Are women incapable of accepting signals from a stick figure that isn't wearing a dress? What about people with one leg? I mean, that androgynous stick figure appears to be able-bodied. How will amputees ever know when it's safe to cross if the figure doesn't have one leg and half an arm?
Aiden White
the upright line is a symbol of the phallus, that nefarious tool of oppressive patriarchy
how DARE you associate it with something positive in any context?
Christian Rivera
you fucking nigger cunts, I blame you
stop eating your own cum and start working at fixing this shit
look at pic, related - they are bitching about skirts on toilet signs, so 11 nigger cunts have gone and fucking "amazingly powerfully and bravely" redesigned them (funded by gov?) to "cleverly" get rid of the skirt, all while still asserting there's no difference between men and women, cunts
fucking step up game
this is where the shit happens
you have to fucking be involved in EVERY dementedly fucking retarded and petty piece of fucking filth shit and fight back 10x hard EVERYWHERE because these nigger cunts won't stop
Charles Richardson
its actually an amputee male with no legs and two massive shlongs
Gavin King
>implying only females wear dresses
FUCKING MATRIARCHY REEEEEEEEE
Jacob Gray
This
Implying people are only female when wearing a dress
Elijah Peterson
You thick fucks any symbol that you have to explain is inherently worse than a symbol that explains itself on sight.
aka the core fucking concept
Dominic Barnes
look how triggered you are bro. relax.
Nicholas Bell
Everyone I know thinks this is stupid, and I'm neck deep in the far left. This is the centre left victorian exec paying lip service to dumb shit moderates who fancy themselves progressive. It means nothing, and accomplishes nothing more than getting whatever right wing elements exist in melbourne a little fanny flustered.
Literally who cares
Bentley Campbell
>feminists in the 1900's fought for the right to vote >feminists in the 2010's "fight" for having women traffic signs, forcing men to close their legs at the bus all while defending islam to the death, which literally wants them to have absolutely no voice and no freedom of choice, be forced to wear extremely prudish clothes, and be forced to do as their husband says.
Michael Richardson
Fat shaming Phallic Homophobic (implying I have to be straight to cross)
Easton Bailey
it'll confuse the trams that might be using the same crossing poles to have their signs on them - since these are the signs trams use.
but otherwise - it's good (since trams use them)
Joseph Rogers
thicc
Logan Jones

Christopher Martin
>the dress makes her a woman
hey Sup Forums did they just assume the little red being's gender? I think you warriors of equality and justice know what must be done
Leo Rodriguez
Australian politicians just lack any form of common sense, like in my town we have fuck tones of pot holes but yet they think its a great idea to spend 25 grand a year on a artificial christmas tree
Nicholas Bailey
cancer
thicc = cancer
chub threads, fat threads, = cancer cancer cancer
thicc = aids cancer
Joshua Perry
the womens one is the one with their legs spread right?
Colton Nelson
I just need my particular physical traits to be properly represented in crosswalk signals. How will I know it's safe to cross if the signal isn't wearing coveralls and a hard hat?
Juan Walker
I can't believe they left out the Handicapped from the crossing lights. These tards obviously hate handicapped people.
Jace Kelly
now im just imagining an obese trans just on their knees screeching autisticly at a crossing because they cant cross because there is no transgender crossing light
Kayden Gonzalez
Isn't the point of an artificial tree that you can just buy one and keep using it forever?
Jeremiah Sullivan
Proud Victorian here. Shit like this makes me incredibly pleased to live in a state that's progressive and inclusive, especially in time of hatred and trolling. Melbourne will lead the way for Australia to become a successful country into a future that's increasingly global, diverse, and multicultural.
And men in positions of power just keep failing shit-tests...
fucking betas man jesus christ
Angel Gomez
i go to melbourne for weekends with the boys, spend fucking like 100 on train tickets then get harrased by non english speaking cunts to buy prostitutes in kings street and the same near the crown then having to look at all the homeless or maybe they are just uni students, no way to tell
Aiden Wood
>That's not inclusive to POC who can't read. This is very underrated.
Daniel Collins
>if you gender a fucking stick figure as male, just because it isn't explicitly stated to be female, and then decide to make it female by putting a fucking SKIRT on it...then YOU are being sexist. This is a well articulated point.
Charles Young
yes but you see the council members are retarted and want to appease all the lefties so they can get higher up in politics so they can get more rich
Parker Gomez
hahahaha You know some losers who go to King St. That's literally the worst part of the city and exists purely so that cashed-up bogans can be relieved of their cash by whores and then beat each other up. The rest of Melbourne appreciates that King St exists just so we never otherwise have to deal with people like you. Thanks for patronising this precinct for its intended purpose. Likewise for the Casino. If you go there, you might as well be sucking James Packer's dick while giving him all your possessions.
Parker Thomas
I see.
Luckily I live in a land 95% populated by actual Christmas trees, so we can just send a guy in a pickup truck to go chop one down and bring it back within an hour for 50 bucks.
Carson Wood
yeah i just have a dumbass friend who wants to stay close to the station without paying much, i think its the kingsstreet ibis we usually stay at, and the casino is really one of the only entertaining things to do if the footy isnt on, that and getting pissed at the lions head hotel at the city centeral
Sebastian Smith
What's surprising about that? The dominant gender refuses to dominate/protect the submissive gender and literally keeps running away the more she tries to get the dominant to dominate/protect her.
Whitey is literally so autistic he can't figure this out and blames the women for getting desperate and jumping ship to some shitskin.
Then he gets mad about it and either finds a selfish asian like a loser or just goes tranny/gay
For fucks sake people STOP CONSUMING ESTROGEN PLASTICS
Adam Jenkins
>Implying they were male before
Elijah Garcia
appreciate the Russel coight gif, yeah its a mix of them trying to get the appreciation of either the more christian politicians while pleasing the lefities by "adding more social events and equality" pretty much until they get above town politics they are whores for who ever gives them power, also why do canadians and americans call utes pick up trucks? like i know they are fucking massive haha
Nicholas Adams
As expected of melbourne. The ABC is replacing all the male hosts with females today as well the whole thing is just idiotic
Jordan Ward
what about the Sudanese crimewave, cant forget about that
Brandon Garcia
Doesn't help that they keep shutting down major things in rural Vic like Hazelwood.
Jaxon Barnes
kek
Meanwhile in Japan
Parker Adams
I'm from China and I can't read this, cater to me
Jeremiah Harris
Doesn't a Ute more often refer to something closer to a car? Sorta like an El Camino?
A pickup is huge with a larger and deeper box.
Colton Thomas
for us it covers any that have a tray, Ute is short for utility vehicle
Andrew Young
This is a ute
Oliver Evans
This is the first time I've ever laughed angrily at something, cheers cunt
Angel Nelson
>the casino is really one of the only entertaining things to do if the footy isnt on Honestly the Casino is the least entertaining thing in Melbourne. It's largely poker machines, which you can find at any shitty RSL anywhere in Australia.
Go do what Melbourne is good at: - live sport - live theatre - the arts (go see a show at Heide) - food (go eating along Getrude St or Smith St) - gardens (drop acid in the Botanic Gardens) - independent cinema - good coffee - live music (go to the Tote)
You're staying in the wrong part of the city too. Melbourne does't make itself easily accessible to visitors, but it's a huge amount of fun if you know where to go.
Lucas Roberts
The delegates, Dahnald
Bentley Johnson
So basically you can turn any vehicle into a ute by chopping the back off and replacing it with a box of some sort?
Nicholas Thomas
Hey I'm in Melbourne I'll hit these up with some hard to remove spray paint any one else up for it?
