WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A male lawyer who appeared in a New Zealand court dressed in an ankle-length skirt, lace stockings and a diamond brooch said Tuesday he was protesting against a male bias in the country's justice system.Rob Moodie, a former New Zealand Police union secretary, stunned the courtroom Monday when he appeared in women's clothing at a hearing related to a long-running case involving the death of a man in a bridge collapse on a North Island farm. Moodie said he wore the two-piece women's suit because of what he described as a boys' network in the court room."I'm objecting to the male ethos that is dominating this case and from now on I'm going to be dressing as a girl in my daily life," Moodie told Reuters."It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't seen the gung-ho attitude in this case. The more this goes on and the deeper the cover-up gets, the frocks will get prettier," he said.Moodie, who said he was wearing a skirt while talking to Reuters by telephone, is married with three children but said he had a strong female gender bias."The sexes are not opposite, they're complementary," he said, drawing comparisons with New Zealand's hugely popular All Blacks rugby side."The front row of the All Blacks is a very important part of maleness and is not to be disparaged at all, but neither should the guy who wants to do ballet," Moodie said.

Okay, just a rant here.... Don't you just love those girls who send the exact same message out to like 100 others saying "you look good, tell me what I look like" so they can have 50 ratings by the second day of the month? Kind of irritating cuz you can see right through their compliments, which are the exact same to everyone just about, in the hopes that they can have their 9.8 with 50 votes..... That's kind of lame..... On a good note, spring dresses can be worn soon.....yay!!!!!
