College demands construction crew remove “men working” sign, for diversity « The Greenroom

A construction crew working on the campus of Ohio’s Sinclair Community College was forced to halt work until it removed a “Men Working” sign that was deemed “sexist” by a college administrator. ......

College.... where the smart people are.

Not only it's sexist but it's also usually a lie.
When im working I dont need a sign next to me saying that im working.
Usually the men next to the sign dont work that much.

You sign should be "people at work, or not".

"People getting paid"

If you were a woman, or knew one, you'd understand.....

So..how long until the "corrected" sign is put up, followed by the inevitable duct-tape over certain words in order to make the sign even more offensive?

"People getting paid"

Some dont get paid.

Maybe just "people".

I wish I had things this important to worry about!

Too bad it's not a state job, all they'd have to do is change "Men" to "Nobody"

I wonder how much longer before they are forced to have it not only in English but as least Spanish as well?

 

[wizard_of_ahs]

"People getting paid anyway"

FIFY

You forgot Arabic and Chinese! We can't discriminate and engage in profiling (just ask the TSA as they scrutinize octogenarians in wheelchairs) and the Chinese will certainly demand a certain amount of deference for their financial considerations.

Men at Work replied "It's a mistake!"

I can tell you from my current job in transportation that there is a slow shift to changing those signs but the cost to replace all of them is massive and would require a lot of taxpayers money.

Rush was talking about this very thing 20+ years ago

he would also go on and on and on about this being proof of liberal indoctrination. after all, these people are TEACHING and INFLUENCING younger generations.

Seriously, what a waste of time & money. I can see this being an issue if several of the workers were women but even so, who cares about a stupid sign? The women would have an excuse not to work since they weren't included on the sign.

Or perhaps here's a new sign idea.

Men working​

Women Supervising ​

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal"

do we have to change that document now?

 

[RockofStrength]

The curse of a gender-neutral English pronoun strikes again.

Seriously, was it that bad to use "men" as the generic catchall term?
