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.

And to think, that money could be used for something useful, like helping less fortunate famlies. It sickens me that people will complain and sue about the most harmless stuff, stuff I may add that no one gives a darn about, stuff like this, and then everyone pays for it. Shame on this person.

The generic masculine is insidious and destructive.

"Man and his greatest achievements...." bullshit is everywhere devaluing half the population.

That along with the widespread disrespect of calling grown women "girls" extracts a price beyond any financial measure, though it is reflected in the underpaid female workforce's wages.

"Single Mother at Work" might get some attention, which is the whole point to placing the signs.

Regardless, iconic signs with pictograms and no writing have long been available so this whole situation should not even exist now.

oh come on, nobody pays attention to that b/s except extremists.

It's not a big deal.
