Women's Magazine Editor Gets "Men at Work" Signs Changed

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.

Well thank God for this. The last bastion of gender inequity has fallen and now the world is all set. Women finally have everything they need because motorists in Hotlanta will no longer be subjected to repressive, chauvanistic road signs. All the problems have been solved. No more forced clitorectomies. It's the end of "honor" killings. Places where women get stoned to death for walking across the street with a man they're not married to will knock it off. Peel off those burkhas ladies and shake what you're momma gave ya.

I love women. But this is why I hate feminists. While the rest of the world treats women like they're less than animals, women's magazine editors are worried about the .00001% of American road crew workers that happen to be women being offended by road signs designed to protect them from getting run over. Never mind that 60% of US college graduates are female since there's a lot less money in paving roads than there is in being a women's magazine editor or a tort lawyer suing to get road signs changed. Feminists are like those Japanese soldiers they used to find on islands who were still trying to fight WWII. The feminists don't realize the war is over either, the difference is they won the goddamned thing.
