Are Women Really THIS Ignorant?

Atlanta Stripped of ‘Men at Work’ Signs After Complaints of Bias

Political correctness rules the road in Atlanta — which is replacing all its “Men at Work” signs with gender-neutral ones after a women’s magazine editor complained of bias.

The project, which involves painting over the existing 50 “Men at Work” and “Men Working” signs with those that say simply “Workers Ahead” or “Workers,” will cost a total of $1,000, Atlanta Public Works Commissioner Joe Basista told FOXNews.com.

About half of the city’s 100 Public Works employees are women, said Basista, so he complied with PINK magazine editor Cynthia Good’s request to stop warning passersby of men at work when women were right there alongside them.

Such female pettiness is really starting to chap my hide! (Well, truth be told, I’ve been beyond chapped at such for quite a while.) Where do they think the word woman comes from? Jiminy Crickets!

What? Did the PINK offend ‘em too?

I could say something about that, but I’ll refrain.

“It seemed like the right thing to do,” Basista said.

The change-over, which Basista wants to complete by the end of the month, has met with little resistance so far, he said.

But it could raise eyebrows when Good goes national with her crusade — which she’s planning to do.

Doesn’t this woman have anything better to do with her time? If the powers that be cave into this PC pile of BS like Atlanta did, then I really am going to start questioning the lack of cajones of the male species.

    See, YOU can say derogatory things about chicks and they won’t get upset despite how emotional and illogical they are.

    Guys like me have to choose our words carefully so women don’t get mad at us and start crying for no reason, the way they always do.

    I suppose that’s our lot in life though, as men, being the superior sex…
