Australia: Bushfire safety workshops - for women only
Submitted by Minuteman on Sat, 2010-01-30 07:00
Link to media release here (.pdf file). Excerpt:
'Women in regional South Australia are being offered free basic bushfire safety skills workshops to assist them in becoming Bushfire Ready. This follows a successful pilot program offered on Eyre Peninsula in 2008.
Fiona Dunstan, Manager Community Education and Public Warnings, says “The workshops provide women with a safe non-threatening setting to learn new skills to protect their families and livelihoods, covering both information and providing practical sessions over two sessions”.
“Feedback from women who attended the previous program was excellent,” she said.'
This was reported in an article on page 8 of the Saturday, 30th January edition of Adelaide newspaper "The Advertiser" (the on-line version can only be accessed through a paid subscriber service), a rag owned by Murdoch's News Limited which recently introduced a Friday "Women's Weekly", section and no longer pretend to be anything except a glorified women's magazine.

Of course they are for women only
Obviously every man in or near a forest or brushline in Australia knows exactly what to do when there is a problem when they all catch on fire and move toward him or his house at a rate of 30 MPH - er, that's 48.3 KPH for everyone not reading this in the US. :)
Besides, those nasty ol' men have a way of asking questions and sharing their skill set when in such places and circumstances. We know this intimidates women and makes them fearful of asking their own questions. Therefore keeping men away from knowledge that may help them is the best thing to do, as long as doing so *may* be of benefit to women.

Rupert Murdoch is a rabid supporter of feminism, all his papers and tv networks promote feminism and political correctness. Lie after lie is regulary printed in the women's sections of his papers.
