Adults crossing "on the red man" in front of kids

[Chelle-82]

I never said women were incapable

 

As a bloke, I will hold doors open for women, young children and the elderly (occasionally even men too).

 

Much like I hold a door open, I also will keep an eye out for certain groups when crossing the road. It is good manners.

So you'd rather be at greater risk of getting run over than have a person keep an eye out for you?

 

Well it may be very hard for you to comprehend but my tiny little female brain is quite capable of using common sense in such scenarios

personally I think its more important to teach your child to make its own judgement of risk than to follow rules blindly. one such rule is crossing with the green man - id prefer him to understand to look for cars and cross when safe to do so than to blindly wait for a green man. After all, there may not always be a green man to cross with and secondly it may not necessarily be safe to cross when there is a green man.

What about women? Don't you keep an eye out for them to make sure they cross safely?

Are you for real? I hope you are because you deserve all you get

Suggesting that women (and not men) need help crossing the road is completely sexist and moronic. Sexism definitely does not feature on the list of good manners.
