And now for something you didn’t know you should have

[HOTAIR] Traditionally, crosswalk lights in most places show a male figure waiting patiently in red for cars to stop, then walking in green when it’s safe. It’s been that way because it’s been that way in societies dominated by you-know-who.But a civic group called the Committee for Melbourne decided to help make its world a little better through images. It has convinced the city to change crosswalk lights to show a female figure walking to erase the possibility of gender bias and attune future generations to picture females crossing the street or doing anything the same as males.
Is she carrying a purse, wearing heels? How can we tell 'tis nae a Scotsman?

#5  oh ferkrysakes - would someone please point out the stick figure penis on the original signals? Who assumed that figure was a CIS gendered male? That's implicit gender bias!!! So easy to play by Frankfurt Rules
