I happen to agree with the Australian city. There should be more of an effort to combat unconscious bias in symbolism created by the government. If women feel the icons used by the state 
are biased in favor of men something should be done.
I propose that these offended women be put into reeducation camps because something is very, very wrong with them if they see the above symbol and automatically think that it’s a man.
Why are these women so quick to assume that this is depicting any specific gender?
This is narrow minded, bigoted, and wrong.
Get with it ladies, this is 2017.
Heat Street has the rest.
ht/ fdr in hell
Where is Crocodile Dundee when we need him to address these Sheila issues?
Women wear slacks.
Scotsmen wear kilts.
Friars wear cassocks.
Feminists wear patience.
These icons need to represent the diversity we have in this country. I’m just not sure if African Americans would ever have the opportunity to cross the street if the icon were black.
What a disgrace and boondoggle.
Reminds me of the highway signs along CA freeways that were supposed to be such an assist to drivers and cost 100s of millions of wasted dollars. The signs are used to remind us to “buckle up”, be aware of the “drought”, not use our cell phones, and to watch for highway workers. Now they will need to be modified to ensure gender-friendliness and to love our LGBTXYfrickingZ neighbors, of which there are many.
It’s all in the plan for global pussification.
Who’s brain thinks like this? Liberalism is truly a disease.
Well, if the feminists feel that the signs need to be changed then by all means let’s change them. The money for which will be withdrawn from various government supported women’s projects such as women’s health, breast cancer research, education programs for women and the like. I’m sure the money taken from these programs would be much better spent on designing some sort of unisex little person to go on traffic pedestrian crosswalk signals then installing them all, oh and changing any documentation where the original little guy was used. Yep, money well spent.
They’ll really be pissed when they know that they’re crossing the street because of a one legged man with a huge penis symbol….
The Mayor or Chairman (Chairwymyn?) of the City Council has a relative in the Sign-Making business.
Guaranteed. Nobody – NO-fuckin-BODY – is that fuckin stupid.
izlamo delenda est …
I can’t read Australian – whassit say?
Walk or Sashay?
Wouldn’t even need a symbol if everyone could read and speak English.
how sexist of them to assume that is a heterosexual male!
think about it … these assholes are offended at their own biases
@ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ – I think you’re onto something there. Rather than examine the reasons why the suffer from penis envy, they want sanctions against penises, symbolically and literally.
The Oz Moslems will riot if the female icons aren’t in full niqab unless they depict female goats.
If the sign does not apply to you, feel free to cross the street whenever you wish
A day or two after these signals go up, muslims will be trying to rape them.
Simple solution, just add a pink pussy hat to the icon and viola problem solved!
Yesterday there was an article (with photo) about Camille Paglia. The silhouette of Ms. Paglia looked just like the “walk” symbol guy… so can’t we just assume the sign represents a lesbian woman?
This will be very confusing to transsexuals.
Judging by the thick legs I think it’s Hillary.
I’m not crossing till I see my exact photograph for that day
We can solve gun violence in da hood by putting up “Shoot” “Don’t Shoot”
lights…
Poor, poor icon. A male that identifies as a crossing signal.
Butt what about my sex?
In New York City 31 symbols will be needed now that there are that many official genders. Let’s not leave anyone out.
@Uncle Al (at 1:59 P.M.):
And power wears down those who don’t have it.
What about sluts? Sluts aren’t being represented enough either.
Probably have to put some kind of slutty clothing on it so you can tell it’s a slut.
Ironic icon – clothed is sluttier.
Why are all the stick men black? Traffic
targets?
