No lady complains when they are included in "amigos" concerning a collective group.

Its not all about sexism, it is about linguistics.

Lets look at the etymology of the word "man"

From Middle English man, from Old English mann ("human being, person, man"), from Proto-Germanic *mann- ("human being, man"), probably from Proto-Indo-European *man- ("man") (cf. also *men- ("mind"). Cognate with West Frisian man, Dutch man, German Mann ("man"), Norwegian mann ("man"), Russian муж (muž, "male person"), Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬥𐬱 (manuš), Sanskrit मनु (manu, "human being").

While the word "man" to describe humans collectively is certainly going out of style, even today the word still retains that meaning.

/However, other Germanic languages have moved on to use "mensch" or something similar (cognate in English is obsolete "mannish") instead of using "man" in a collective sense
//English, however, is really one farked up language
///Stop making stupid things into big farking problems

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all cum

Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Where did this happen?

Berkeley? Ithaca? Wellesley?

Sinclair Community College in Dayton, OH? What?

Fake.

There is a reason those signs exist; people are dumb.

/ and so is fanatical political correctness

Non-National Review source? Not that I'm calling them liars, but liars on the right make up crap like this all the time.

So, how many of the construction crew were women? Was the sign literally true?

vernonFL: Where did this happen?

Berkeley? Ithaca? Wellesley?

Sinclair Community College in Dayton, OH? What?

Well, the administrator's probably from one of those places.

Sounds legit.

This from an institution of higher learning?

OK

Dr.Zom: Fake.

yup. every reference to it is to NRO and they don't source it. bunch of crap

That there's a HOTY candidate.

Well done, Subby.

National Review, eh?

So did it not happen or was what happened nothing like the presented headline?

BS source is BS.

Headline is awesome.

Or you could just say "people".

To better reflect reality, they changed the signs to

MEN "WORKING"

The sign really should read, "LOOK DOWN"

What wrong with men at work?

Cis-gravitied scum shoulda checked their privilege.

Arkanaut: Or you could just say "people".

"Hey, I saw two people and a people arguing over at this one people's house."
"Secret: Strong enough for a people, but made for a people."

What about bathroom signs? Do you go in the one marked "People" or the one marked "People"?

Piso Mojadowned via BS

Pic of the construction site?

This is stupid. Idealism is normal in college, but adults should not allow it to go too far.

Arkanaut: Or you could just say "people".

The singular for people is person. SEXIST!

Let's compromise and put up "women working" signs in front of all kitchens.

Construction Persons Working ?

What a NSFW personhole might look like. (I had to suffer, so should you.)

Fark Rye For Many Whores: What a NSFW personhole might look like. (I had to suffer, so should you.)

Fark disagrees.

If you go to the right kind of areas, you can see signs that say "Men" Working.

/Don't judge me

Fark Rye For Many Whores: What a NSFW personhole might look like. (I had to suffer, so should you.)

Uh ok that should be http://goatkcd.com/1038/ I don't know what this 403 error is for.

Hey, idiots, Subby lied. Read the story. Nobody fell.

Oh, what the hell, go ahead and whine and cry about the biatches wantin' their equality, so that's what they get, hurr durr durr.

Aliens Working?

That's an awful word, subby. Personhole.

If they wanted to be accurate, those signs should read "Illegals Working"

untaken_name: So, how many of the construction crew were women? Was the sign literally true?

Of course not. It was construction work, not updating Facebook.

"Men at work" is admittedly easier to fit on a sign than

"Statistically likely to be men at work, but possibly might in admittedly rare circumstances be men and a woman working. By the way, watch your step."

CAUTION



WOMEN WORKING

Yo dawg, in English when you have a group of unspecified or mixed gender you use the male form of the pronoun.

This is like middle-school English motherfarker, if you can't deal with that as a college professor please turn in your credentials for immediate incineration.

12349876: Let's compromise and put up "women working" signs in front of all kitchens.

I wish I had that person's problems.

Does the sign convey a possible construction hazard? Then it did its job.

MadAzza: Hey, idiots, Subby lied. Read the story. Nobody fell.

Oh, what the hell, go ahead and whine and cry about the biatches wantin' their equality, so that's what they get, hurr durr durr.

Hey, idiot. It's fark. It's not news.

The story doesn't mention if the sign was factual.

Were there actually men working or not?

Obviously the Lamestream Media and other libby factions made subby make things up just to make a bastion for truth and reality like NRO is look bad. For their next trick they'll turn foetuses into whine.

That Guy...From That Show!: The story doesn't mention if the sign was factual.

Were there actually men working or not?

Exactly. The sign was suppose to read:

"Men Working Sometimes"

This is just overkill not one person fell down under.

10,000! 10,000! 10,000!

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 

It certainly offers proof that academia is not made up of our best or our brightest.
