CaledonianGonzo Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Things like this are one of the reasons that I love the place. For those complaining that there's no male equivalent, I suspect you've forgotten about Philippa's Van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6t6o6m Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Interesting, I wonder how busy it will get seeing as a majority of the people at the festival will be with a mixed bunch of friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willsnewman Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ok, I'm all for equality. But it kind of irritates me a little when someone's idea for campaigning for equality involves inequality. Perhaps I'm wrong, and I'm open to discussion on the matter. But that is the first thing that jumps out at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy way to shut them up! what is the point then, seriously? Is Male and Female really an acceptable way to categorise people these days? How do discrimitary areas like this affect transgender people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equality is all well and good provided you're operating on a level playing field to begin with, unfortunately our society isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
