RTA, women, police and magistrates need brain enlargement patches

More evidence of how moronic Australian society has become can be found in the above story.
Apparently a man changed lane in front of a woman who flashed her lights, stuck her middle finger up, and then did the little pinky finger gesture from the RTA anti-speeding campaign which suggests the man driver has a small penis. The man got angry and threw a plastic bottle at her car. Then police and a magistrate helped the woman charge the man with malicious damage and give him a $400 fine which went to the govt.
RTA Campaign
A recent RTA campaign tried to equate the small penis gesture with men who drive above the limit posted by the RTA. This campaign is based upon a few simple assumptions:
* having a small penis is bad and makes a man inferior to larger penised men
* speed limits posted by the RTA are correct, to exceed them is bad
* exceeding a speed limit is like having a small penis
* the public should condemn and mock speedsters as they should men with a small penis
I mostly disagree with these assumptions.
I am particularly displeased by a govt campaign based upon denigrating people based on body image. Since people cannot control most of the way their body looks it is unfair to judge a person by the size or shape of their body or body parts. The RTA campaign does this. In today's moronic society it is acceptable to denigrate men but not women. The RTA campaign does this.
Proper Behaviour on the Road
The way to behave on a road in my opinion is not to change lane offensively, not to flash lights, not to stick up middle finger, not to make little pinky gesture and not to throw plastic bottles at other cars.
The man seems to think it is OK to change lane offensively, but not to make little pinky gesture, in which case it is OK to throw a plastic bottle.
The woman seems to think it is not OK to change lane offensively, in which case it is OK to raise middle finger and OK to make little pinky gesture. It is not OK to throw a plastic bottle, in which case it is OK to level a charge of malicious damage. The police and magistrate seem to agree with the woman. I don't.
Reverse Gender
Imagine if the gender was reversed. Imagine as I walk through a cafe a careless woman steps in front of me. I say "hey floppy tits, keep your fat bum away from me, you look like a cow". The woman gets angry and throws a plastic drink bottle at me. I go to the police and have her charged with assault. I sincerely hope that the police and magistrates would not support my charge in this case. What do you think?
