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.

That’s what I suggested when the Air Force Academy was forced to change it’s iconic “Bring Me Men” sign. I suggesteed they do product placment and make it “Bring Me Mentos.”
No, that is also sexist, because it contains the sexist three letter combination SON, which is a male offspring. The non-sexist spelling of perSON would therefore be peroffspring, and the politically correct, non-sexist name for the capitol of California would be ...

Well, if no women were working it is in fact correct to say “Men at work”, unless there was a transgender involved at which point I don;t know what to say.
At least. At least that many and at least that stupid.
Some faculty are drooling microcephalic slack-lipped mongoloid idiots.
I had one call me and start whining that when she spell checked her email she noticed “racist” was in the system dictionary but “racism” was not and she WANTED IT FIXED RIGHT NOW!

[2] I was a BOFH turned sysadmin. A snarky combo...

You got a new “nom de plume”?
The special “Sign Removal Detail” should have been called. They charge $10,000 per job. Billed to the school.

Religious connotations, just won’t do ...
So, Notreallysacraperoffspringto
What about ATHEISTS?
Shouldn’t SINclair be forced to change its name, as well?...................
Germans use the word “Mann” for a male human beings, and the word “Mensch” for human beings in general. In English we use the word “men” for both. It ain’t complicated - one ought not need a college degree to figure it out.
On the other hand, if you spend all your waking hours looking for ways to be offended, there’s no end to opportunities out there . . .
“a “Men Working” sign that was deemed “sexist” by a college administrator.”
UN-freaking-BELIEVABLE.

Sorry!
Should change to 53% working.
Commitment to diversity? What about political diversity at Universities. The arguments to support racial diversity equally support political diversity.
A commitment to diversity? What about political diversity? The arguments to support racial diversity also equally apply to political diversity.
If it was a government project, it should have read; 'People watching 1 person working.'
I guess HuMAN is sexist, too. What should we call the 'HUperson race?'
I hate college Nazis.
