Having the 'walk' person wearing dresses is a total non issue. Or, at least, it should be. loving male fragility.

I'd personally like animated walk signs with men, women and children walking on them.

Probably good to have the pedestrian signals be visually distinct from the vehicular ones? Might not be an issue though.

Voters will desert Coalition if deals done with One Nation, former Nationals senator warns

Ron Boswell accuses Arthur Sinodinos of �legitimising people voting� for Pauline Hanson and says Coalition must challenge One Nation or �be dragged to the right�

The National party stalwart Ron Boswell has said the industry minister, Arthur Sinodinos, would rue the day that he legitimised Pauline Hanson and warned the Coalition that voters will desert them if they did deals with One Nation.

His comments come as the acting prime minister, Barnaby Joyce, said a country run by One Nation would go down the toilet and criticised Donald Trump�s anti-trade agenda.

Boswell is a former senator who led the National party fight against One Nation during its first incarnation. He retired from the parliament in 2014 with a warning to his party room and the Liberal party that its founder Robert Menzies understood that the Coalition had to govern for the centre.

�I said to my colleagues last week, you stupid bastards, you are governing for two weeks out,� Boswell told Guardian Australia on Tuesday.

�All you are worried about is getting your next piece of legislation through. You�ve got to do that but when Sinodinos said she is nice and she is better than she was, I thought you�ll rue that day.

�Because all you are doing is legitimising people voting for her. Making it safe for people to vote for her.�

Thus far, he has not spoken out about the resurgence of One Nation but he told Guardian Australia he was �really worried� that the conservative side of politics generally were not taking Hanson on.

�I don�t want to be in the same position as the Labor party where they get dragged to the left all the time,� Boswell said. �If we don�t fight her back that�s where we�ll end up. We will be dragged to the right.�

On the same day, Joyce told the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (Abares) that if One Nation was running the country, Australia would go �down the toilet�.

�This is not My Kitchen Rules, this is not Dancing With the Stars, this is running the country,� Joyce said.

�And fundamentally I believe in the common sense of the Australian people ... do you want them to be going out of Indonesia and discussing how to move more product?

�If you come to the conclusion although it might be entertaining...then you have to ask where do you think the nation will go if those individuals are running the country. I can tell you where it will go as an accountant. I will tell you exactly where it is going to go. It is going to go down the toilet.�

Joyce also said the protectionist agenda promoted by Trump was absurd.

�Where does this end? Obviously you become wealthy because nations have traded,� Joyce said.

�Think about what has happened around the globe. Think about where we were in the 1800s and where we are now? Look at you, look at humanity, look where we have got to, the standard of health, the standard of education, the life expectancy. Terrible things that have happened since we started trading with each other in a more open way.�

Boswell welcomed Joyce�s comments on One Nation, saying �I think Barnaby is doing all he can� but he had an agriculture portfolio to manage and the leader�s job.

�When I pushed back [against One Nation] I had a brilliant team, speech writers and writers and that�s all I did but he hasn�t got that time,� Boswell said.

Boswell said Hanson�s agenda was bad for the bush. He said her criticism of immunisation was �straight out of the book on the League of Rights� and if One Nation was governing, Australia would have no fluoride in the water.

He said there could not be anything worse for the bush than One Nation-supported Citizens Initiated Referendum �on the numbers� where citizens can push issues with a general vote.

�What about if you lost live cattle? poo poo no. What about if you lost kangaroo culling? What about abortion? All those things will go but no one ever challenges her,� said Boswell.

He underlined he did not challenge Hanson�s right to be in parliament but he warned against glorifying her and her party.

�She legitimately got into parliament and the bastard that ever put her in jail should be horsewhipped but Barnaby�s saying if these people get in you would be dragged everywhere.

�But I was told and I am hearing it again, she�ll run out of oxygen. Bullshit, she is getting stronger and stronger.�

Boswell acknowledged Coalition members had suggested the government needed her three votes on the Senate crossbenchs for some legislation but he warned former colleagues not to build up the minor party.

�Don�t build something up there, explain it to the people,� he said.

�[Otherwise] you�ll get another backlash this way. People will say hell if I have to deal with a government that is supported by One Nation, I�d rather stay Labor. There will be that backlash against you too and I have seen that happen.

�I saw it in Queensland. When we gave preferences to One Nation the people walked away and said no, we�ll back Labor.�

Why she gotta be wearing a dress?

Because once they finish winding back all the progress made in women's right such as abortion or the right to divorce they'll also make it mandatory to wear dresses instead of man-like pants so the blind old white men don't get confused who they're leering at.

Also ultimately who cares, it's a walk signal. A big old green dot would work fine too.

Actually I take that back. Replace all the people symbols with that of a dog. Let the peasants who walk the streets know how their betters think of them.

The gender is implicit in the design of the figure. Ask yourself if it looks more like the male or female characters used on toilet doors.

Cirofren posted:

How else would you make an easily identifiable silhouette of a female gendered person? The dress has nothing to do with trying to force women to wear dresses, but to make it easily identifiable to as many people as possible as being female. It's not perfect but no solution would be due to the vast array of differences people have.

This is a good choice, if a bad design, because I can entirely judge people on what their response is. If it's 'what's the point' or 'this is a waste of money', they need stuff like this to remind them that the world isn't theirs.

If it's 'the design looks really weird', but are otherwise approving, they have correct opinions.

No, but you see there was that one dude who was so advanced he didnt assign a gender to the figurines, so why waste tax payers money in going a small way to address the gender imbalance and remind people that the default option should not be male.

The walk sign should both be pink and the outline animated like a pixelated dress wearing woman burning her bra in a homage to the 1960s liberation movement.

So there needs to be some flames, smoke and probably a placard as well.
