Gender equality at last…on pedestrian crossings!



VALENCIA: -- Crossing the road will never be the same again in the Spanish city of Valencia.

From now on, female pedestrian lights will help people get to the other side in several spots.

The initiative launched to mark International Women’s Day on Tuesday March 8 will see feminine silhouettes on one side of the crossing and traditional figures on the other.

You think they might have chosen an angle for for the photo without a giant fallus in the middle of the frame.

....gee...now everything in the world is right.....

Does that mean Lady-boys can cross - or do they still have to wait with the men

[tomacht8]

I think it goes to many well. Is there anything more important?
Is this only in Valencia or a new legislation from Brussels?

Once again a new milestone in the history of mankind.
Just ridiculous with what our politicians employ.
Pity about the tax money.

It is happening in The People's Republic of Yarra (Melbourne) also. One set of lights to honour first female councillor. Can't see a problem.

no one says it's a problem. Just waste of time and money. Serves no purpose

So very PC. They could of course just standardise all the lights to stick figures.

What it doesn't show is when the women can cross lights up in green the motorist lights are also green......

I take offense at this. The suggestion that females all wear skirts is sexist pish, in Scotland we all wear skirts, and your mum wears trousers, if I haven't already removed them.

Agreed. A waste of $$ in the interests of political correctness.

And to make things even more ridiculous and outrageous:

In the town of Utrecht in the Netherlands traffic lights are seen with 2 gays holding hands.

No wonder there is an unsolvable problem with refugees.

It's actually not a bad strategy to let the activists have their way sometimes on these meaningless, trivial issues. It makes them think they have achieved something.

Can you imagine how much time they wasted holding struggle meetings, thinking up slogans, attending council meetings, lobbying local bureaucrats, creating all the rest of their silly agit-prop, and virtue signalling similar groups all over the planet?

Meaning that the rest of us can get on with real life.
