Its a very good article. Now that leaves sexism and the other big one that needs dealing with - homophobia.

Hey Matey, I'm guess you don't mean 'in' Melbourne as that only happens at the bay beaches after 24 hours of gale force southerlies, and its arguable if its worth it. If there is swell and the wind is northwest head either to Torquay (Pt Impossible thru Bells and further) or to Pt Leo and surrounds....
