In the name of gender equality
So the almost-universal sign for a pedestrian crossing is a man walking on stripes right? Them Swedish feminists have protested this saying that females should be represented too - di lang naman lalaki ang mga tumatawid sa kalye di ba? So the Swedish equivalent of DPWH was persuaded to create... Fru Gårman*. The newspapers say we should see her on the roads starting next year.
And I just know the day she appears on the roads will mark the end of domestic violence, sexual discrimination, and unequal wages for women in the workplace.
*The old sign was called "Här Går Man" meaning Walk Here but they fondly call the guy in the picture "Herr Gårman" or Mr. Gårman. So the woman will be called Mrs. Gårman or "Fru Gårman". Naturally.
