A female employee at Sinclair Community College raised concerns that a "Men Working" sign was sexist, prompting school officials to demand that the construction company stop working until the sign was removed.

An Ohio community college demanded that a construction crew stop working on campus until it removed a “Men Working” sign that an administrator deemed “sexist.”

Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, made the call in mid-November after a female employee raised concerns that the construction company’s sign was too biased, WKEF-TV reported.

The construction company, Jcrane Inc., told the local news station that it has used such signs “frequently and have never had a problem before.”

Well were there any women working on the construction crews? Based on all the ones I have seen, I would say no, so the signs would be gender appropriate.

Most construction companies do have a secretary, so, I guess they do have a point.

Did she the sign and ask Who Can it Be Now? I mean if she came From A Land Down Under this is just Overkill and It's Just a Mistake. I Can See It In Your Eyes it's just a case of Dr Heckle and Mr Jive :D

A little impressed with yourself on the '80s Aussie pop references, Haize?

And how often is that secretary at the work site wearing a hard hat and constructing some facility? My highly educates guess once again is probably 0.00001% of the time if even that high.
