I am convinced that there are people in the world who wake up each and every morning with the intent to search out ways of being offended by something, anything. I suppose it gives curmudgeons a sense of mission and purpose. The feminists are among the most adept at finding asinine reasons to protest this or that manifestation of rank patriarchy. What I find more irksome still is the significant number of weak-kneed citizens that, rather than laughing at them, shamelessly oblige "the offended" by caving to their peevish demands. Case in point:
Political correctness rules the road in Atlanta — which is replacing all its "Men at Work" signs with gender-neutral ones after a women's magazine editor complained of bias. The project, which involves painting over the existing 50 "Men at Work" and "Men Working" signs with those that say simply "Workers Ahead" or "Workers," will cost a total of $1,000, Atlanta Public Works Commissioner Joe Basista told FOXNews.com.
