It was just announced that Kathy Hochul has an amendment to New York's Senate Bill 536 to bring the name of Manhattan into the new era of wokeness. It will sense forth be known simply as Hattan, so that the woke generation won't feel endangered by the "Man" reference.

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

My wife had a friend (who thank God is gone) who did not want to be referred to as a “woman” - because, yes, “man” was in that word. She was “female”.

I couldn’t stand her for a couple other dozen reasons.

Sorry, but Berkeley already beat you to that one.

Damn, those people in New York state and City are all crazy as hell.

Safe to assume “gunman” will continue to be given a ‘stet’ editor’s markup, though.

What about the “bro” in The Bronx?

“I know this is a joke but some people take this sort of thing seriously.”

A lady in our quilting group, a retired NLRA attorney, would get all hot and bothered if I said “man hours”. She would correct me and announce, “HUMAN hours”. Major eye rolling by everyone else, all conservatives. I made a point of saying it often.

I thought this was comedy. It actually is.

I hope the bill succeeds.

This level of stupidity should get recorded in history books so that future generations can hopefully not repeat it.

Aint that a kick in the balls!

Can't say that. It's unfair to women who don't have b@lls.
(Except certain "women" athletes.)

Maybe it can be fixed by changing just one letter....MADhatten.

[1Old Pro]

oops, MADhattan.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Statin Island...LOL.

[Macoozie]

But we’ve already re-named it “Shiitehole”!

All those signs have to be repainted now.

I gueas that’s the new “Shovel Ready” jobs they’ve been yappin’ ‘bout?

[HombreSecreto]

Just rename Manhattan to this...

It cost the city of Boulder, Colorado a whole lot of money when they changed “Manhole Covers” to “Utility Covers”.

But the People’s Republic of Boulder works that way.
