The city of Melbourne, Australia, has started installing dress-wearing, “female” traffic signals in the name of gender equality, and now they’re being hit for perpetuating the sexist idea that women should wear dresses.
According to an article in the local news source ABC, the city started installing the new lights on Tuesday as part of a campaign to eliminate “unconscious bias.” In other words, the city was concerned that seeing only “male” traffic signals was causing its residents to subconsciously develop the idea that male people mattered more than female people.

Come on women, get a grip. You can't have both ways. If you can't make up your mind, then SHUT UP. I am women and don'care if the put a smiley face on the darn thing.
A for effort
F for lack of common sense
Shows to go ya'... you can never please a woman.
Don't forget the Hermaphrodites!
How about all of the traffic signs with nude silhouettes instead? No clothing, no problem.
Of course, though, someone would complain that all the people are black.
Stick people
Who cares
When people in any country start to complain over such trivial matters it only proves that they live in a society where all their needs have been taken care of if these issues are all they can find to complain about.
If you're in such a high traffic area that needs a crossing light, who cares or has time to check out the shape of the lighted person in such detail? If it's green, go and if it's red, stop. Who cares what shape the light is?
