I'm still choking on my Boston bun.

No spoiler just clicked on the dumb spoiler icon that looks likes a smilie

Now the huge question of the day for me is how are they going to portray a woman? With a dress? That in itself is sexism as many women don't wear dresses and I as a femal love jeans, trousers, tights and strongly object to being represented in a dress. .

I also object to part paying $6800 for 6 signs.

I also strongly object to the idiots who are offended by the sign showing arguably a male. Are there honestly people standing at the crossing mulling over the fact that they are being discriminated against? Sad so sad.

As someone I heard said change the colours to blue for a boy and pink for a girl.

It never crossed my mind if the traffic signal had a willy or otherwise lol

I wonder if other animals take offense at it being called a zebra crossing?

Oh please...................women wear pants too.

The gender bias on these began with someone assuming.

Next will be someone saying but men wear skirts too.

I just saw this carp on the local news.... IMHO the female figure looks just like the one on any public toilet door! My daughter commented that a short skirt could be offensive to Muslim women & that she rarely wears skirts or dresses.

In all honesty I've never really had a thought about the "walk" & "don't walk" signals. It's just a stick figure to me! Green or red. I do obey the signals - but many don't; So I think all is a moot point anyway!

I reckon they're all male anyway.

If you listen to them, when it's time to walk, they say " dik, dik, dik, dik, dik.............."
