The ‘Eunuchfication’ Continues: ‘Men At Work’ Signs To Disappear In Atlanta
OMG! I give this asinine woman a “Level Of Insanity: Orange-Red” !!!
Not only that, but in trying to find an actual picture online of such signs that are tearing at her immortal soul, 99% of the ones I came across were wordless ‘figure’ signs, so idiots who refused to learn to read in the public school system, or illegal aliens who crept in here but can’t read English can ‘understand’ the danger ahead.
The picture above is one of the ONLY such worded signs I came across in my search … Seems people like google and yahoo have already de-masculinized the damn things …
Is there something wrong with me, guys? Something wrong that I ( a fully-heterosexual woman) DO NOT feel threatened by you men … let alone the fucking word “MEN”?!?!
Truth be told, I feel MORE threatened by women such as this!
Decision follows complaints by magazine editor
By ERIC STIRGUS (AJC)
In the battle of the sexes, women’s magazine editor Cynthia Good said this was a skirmish she had to fight.
Across Atlanta they stood, orange signs with black letters that read “Men At Work” or “Men Working Ahead.”
Sometimes, the signs stood next to women working alongside the men.
Good demanded Atlanta officials remove the signs and last week, Atlanta Public Works Commissioner Joe Basista agreed.
Score one for gender equality, Good said Wednesday.
“They get it,” Good said about the city in a telephone interview.
Public Works officials are replacing 50 “Men Working” with signs that say “Workers Ahead.” It will cost $22 to cover over some of the old signs and $144 to buy new signs, said Public Works spokeswoman Valerie Bell-Smith said.
Good, founding editor of Atlanta-based PINK Magazine, a publication that focuses on professional women, said she’s not stopping with Atlanta.
“We’re calling on the rest of the nation to follow suit and make a statement that we will not accept these subtle forms of discrimination,” said Good, 48.
Good pressed the issue after Atlanta police came to her office last month on a complaint that she spray painted “wo” onto a “Men At Work” sign.
Did she do it? Good replied by complaining about the signs.
Good fired off letters complaining about the signs to Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and Gov. Sonny Perdue.
State transportation officials said they will ask contractors to remove signs specifying just men are working at a construction site.
Atlanta union leader Gina Pagnotta said some women employees of Atlanta Public Works complained about these signs years ago.
“It is a little bit bias to say ‘Men Working,’ ” said Pagnotta, president of the Professional Association of City Employees. “Women are working, too.”

July 10th, 2008 at 1:50 pmI KNEW IT!!!!!!!!
Women were secretly envious of “safety first”
Gentlemen, we’ll be going back to “ladies first”
Now, we’ll change all those signs to “safety, so long as it does not offend minorities or the environment”
July 10th, 2008 at 1:51 pmDrill, yes, but they want that you know it

July 10th, 2008 at 2:13 pmIf the worst thing she has to worry about is seeing a ‘men at work’ sign, I’d say she lives a charmed life.
Someone ask Wafa Sultan or Ayaan Hirshi Ali if they’re offended by these signs.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:13 pmif it was a perfect world cities like Atlanta would just tell this lady to STFU! but no they go along with his horseshit.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:14 pmYeah, we hit that story a couple days ago …

July 10th, 2008 at 2:17 pmAs complete waste of time, resources and energy if you ask me.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:20 pmSpeaking of Eunuchfication, anyone else heard there’s now a campaign in Germany to make men piss sitting down? I think it’s safe to write them off as a nation. They’re ready for dhimmitude.
Rommel is rolling over in his grave.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:42 pmShitheel is one of those “whiners” Phil Gramm was talking about.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:57 pm‘I love America. Let’s change it.’ This attention whore’s schtick is signs?
Dumbasses.
Best thing now is that you can write the bitch at her rag and tell her STFU.
tictic, it’s because they can’t piss without spoiling the WC

July 10th, 2008 at 2:59 pmSay what you will about their grandfathers, at least they could shoot straight.
Hell, you should know that. The most common language in the Foreign Legion from the late 40s into the 70’s was German.
They won a bunch of battles for France, which then lost the wars at the conference table. Algeria ring a bell?
July 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pmIf she wants them changed so badly, let her foot
July 10th, 2008 at 4:48 pmthe bill.
She’s thinking such cheap inanity will drive the
circulation rates up for her magazine?
So much fish wrap…
Tic tic, wrong, generally the Legion remains majoritary french : 45% up to…
Now, effectively Germans happened to be the biggest part for enrolling in the Legion after WWII, (don’t know the exact ratio). These persons had to hide to find their way to Marseille, cause some of them had not a noble past. Their presence was tolerated in the legion though ; when you arrive there, you change your name, you forget your mother-tongue, you are in the obligation to learn french, (otherwise, how could you understand the orders). A brother is designated to take care of the new born legionnaire, therefore he is responsable for all what he is doing, bad or good,and to make sure he learns french either. I can tell you they are not “tendre”.
Though the Germans participated more in the Viet Nam war. The fact is that the french legion had no other choice then ; Lots of our virtual soldiers were in a bad physical condition, due to the lack of food while being prisonners in Germany, and in France, where you could hardly find food, except the famous rutabagas, also, except in countryland farms.
If there were Germans in the Algeria war, that was those who managed a graduation
here is the regiment that participated to Algeria war.

Algeria war wan’t lost military speaking ; the dilemn was then to assimilate a growing muslim population, (with a higher birth rate than the Frenchs’) that would have become french, with islamic problems that already pointed out, or give the independance to Algeria. De Gaulle chose to give independance after a referendum, that ask to the french population wether we wanted to keep Algeria and make that it became part of France or rejected it. A large majority voted the rejection. OK, the lefties managed the brainwashing, though, almost of us didn’t want that an Algerian became equivalent to a French

July 11th, 2008 at 1:37 amWhen did I ever say I was a cop? Came close, though. Probably for the best I didn’t join. I’m sure Sharpton would’ve had me fired and sued into bankruptcy, if not sent to jail. That’s happened to guys I know.
Fucking race-baiter.
BTW, for any left coast hippies lurking around, don’t try fucking with cops over here. NYPD doesn’t take shit from anyone. You swing at one of them, the best you can hope for is to not be crippled for life.
