(really though, that female light thing is the most cancerous bullsh*t and even most feminists think it's a waste of money ironically)



Are you doing just temperatures, or rainfall and things like that?
Talking about cancerous bull****, in Germany they have parking spaces in car parks (usually in the best places near the exits) reserved specifically for women.



No wonder they don't have enough children in that country with crap like that just driving a wedge between people and making normal, healthy relationships between men and women more difficult

High 23.4C
Low 14.4C
Total rainfall/race day: 0.46 mm

The 2008 race saw a 39.1C high, which in comparison to the other events is just insane! It's also been a full degree cooler than typical Melbourne March highs on race day on average. Also very dry. Can't recall a full wet race, although I remember 2010 had some use of wet tyres and the 2005 qualifying "one-lap" session got ruined by partially damp session for some drivers while less so for others which caused an unfair starting grid, one of the reasons that system got scrapped after that season.

See **** like this shows more seperation than unity and equality which is what I thought they wanted? I think in Perth recently they tried female only taxis but it didn't work out.

The difference is that "ladies first" was society's way of counterbalancing the fact that women weren't allowed to do certain things. Women-only parking spaces were brought in long after German women had equal treatment under the law.

There were (or maybe still are?) female-only train carriages in Germany. I think the rationale behind it was that women will feel safer if they don't have to share public transport with men, since men are more likely to attack them than vice versa.

Not sure what female-only parking spaces is supposed to achieve, or what the rationale behind it is.

Anyway, I've never been to Australia but from everyone I know who's been, they say Melbourne is a much better city than Sydney. It's like Berlin vs Frankfurt. Poor but sexy vs rich and dull.

tbh, Melbourne does look like a far better city than Sydney. Perth looks nice, but the place is far too isolated.

Same reason as for the train carriages, so that women feel safer not being around men in general since some tiny % of us might get their kicks molesting women. That's why it was considered not to be in breach of equalities laws:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%..._space#Germany

The "Beware of men!" message it sends out has horrible, horrible implications for society. A few years ago I was lying on a pretty empty beach, just me and a woman with a young girl aged about four about 30 yards away, when the girl suddenly ran off and went towards me. The women cried out "Jessica, come back!!" in a ridiculously panicked voice - I mean WTF did she actually realistically expect me to do to her, especially considering the girl wasn't even out of her sight?! I felt sorry for the girl tbh as well as insulted at this idea that I'm supposed to be a threat to her, it can't do her chances of a healthy relationship later on much good if she's being brought up to be scared of men.

The majority think this, galaxyman/beerparty just didn't fit in here. Doesn't bother me as I like it here.

Yes, it's ridiculous and divisive. Same reason you don't see many men teaching in primary school - they are all treated as potential pedophiles.

This time next year you might be able to fly to Perfffffff non-stop from London for the first time. It's 17.5 hours, still bet it will increase visitor numbers a fair bit though.
