Back some 58 tears ago, my Mother(RIP) would drag me to her shopping in Pittsburgh, Kaufmans and Horne's, and she always said beware of open manholes while walking.
I appreciate sewer workers, what would Ed Norton say?
Have fun it's Friday.

This has been going on since the 1980s...I worked for a municipality back then and we were redoing our contract formats and this as******* idea came up. Idiots...
To: DallasBiff
I remember this same story making the news back in the late 1970s.

I find all this “Gender affirming/apologies” stuff to be the dumbest thing that has happened in this country this century. People need to grow up.

Ive heard the same happened in some places, where signs which read “Men Working” , such as on road maintenance, have been banned. Supposedly its offensive to women to suggest that men are doing such jobs.
To: DallasBiff
Actually, they did not take “man” out.
They just added a bunch of other letters-
—i-tenance hole.

I think a DEI redesign is long overdue. Let’s make them oval.

Here in NH I’ve seen *raised steel structures”.
I could about see out my ears with as much eye rolling I did over that.
God, spare us from PCness.

We can call it a womanhole if that makes them happy.

Yet we never see women at these job sites.
How many women do we see walking the girders of high-rise buildings under construction?
How many women do we see changing the light bulbs at the top of bridges and antenna towers?
How many women do we see climbing down manholes into the sewer systems?

Mainhole?
Do the few women who work underground really care that access is called a manhole?
This has got to be the doing of a bureaucrat who never turned a wrench in her/zer/xis life.
