CARMEL, Ind — “'Men working' signs are a problem,” Blair Babione told the Carmel City Council Monday night.
Blair, 11, and her 9-year old sister, Brienne, came to the meeting after an invitation from council president Sue Finkam.
The girls had recently sent letters to Finkam about “men working” signs they had noticed recently in their neighborhood.
‘Why is this sign here? Why does it say, ‘men working’ when we’ve seen plenty of women doing construction?’” they asked.
Leslie, the girls’ mom, said her daughters wanted to know. When she couldn’t give them an answer, they decided to research it.
“We got on the computer and found how it was not supposed to be here anymore, and we went from there,” Blair said.
“We looked and found this has been against federal law since 1988,” Leslie said. “I was a kid when this law came about and now, here I am, a mom of kids and these signs are still here.”
Blair and Brienne decided to do something about it, sending letters to their local lawmakers.
“Women can do anything, and it’s not right to have it just say ‘men,’” Brienne said.
“When little girls see them, they might think, ‘oh, I can’t be a construction worker, but I want to,’ and seeing a little girl feel like that makes me sad,” Blair told the council.
“You may be thinking ‘well, I don’t really care,’” Brienne said. “But a little girl might want to do construction, and she will see the sign and think, ‘I can’t do construction because the sign says ‘men.’’”
“We felt like if we didn’t change it, nothing would happen,” Blair said.

The world needs more Karens..........................
Young and already going down the road to woke.
Poor girls.
>>When she couldn’t give them an answer, they decided to research it
Yea, right.
“’Men working’ signs are a problem,”
No, snookums, they’re not.
L
We’ll change the signs when women are in the crew.
Until then, the “sisters” can shove it up their Karen-ness.
SIGH.....
Yup, teaching them young to be offended by everything. These parents should be brought up on child abuse charges.
A girl at my daughters HS graduation actually said on stage that it was her career goal to become a ‘social justice warrior’ - that was her ‘career goal’.
Thats OK I guess, the world needs someone to serve the fries.
I think the safest thing to do is to outlaw ALL speech.
Anyone who says a single word should be immediately arrested and imprisoned.
Sammich making 101 for them.
In a perfect world these kids would have been taken away before these parents totally ruin their minds and rob them of a normal life........poor kids
Stupid local news celebrates child activists, propagandized by adults, as “heroes”
Some people just gotta whine - about SOMETHING.
Must be a slow news day.
Somebody put a “slow children” sign in front of their house. 🙄
>>When she couldn’t give them an answer, they decided to research it
Maybe they should start with the dictionary. The term “men” is inclusive.
Men : plural for man
Definition of man : an individual human
>>“Women can do anything, and it’s not right to have it just say ‘men,’”
and this is why women now have to compete with boys pretending to be girls in sports; and will pretty much lose everytime.
