Manhole cover to be removed from lexicon in Berkeley California along with others because of it's white man's racism at work.

Berkeley's municipal code currently contains mostly masculine pronouns, the office of the city manager said in a letter to the mayor and city council.

    With all the problems they have in CA this isn't one of them.


    This is what I call Pole vaulting over mouse turds.

    In related news, a popular brand of soy sauce has been renamed "Kikkoperson".

    May as well take them all out of service also, if they remove all of them from the public streets and such, it should slow traffic enough they can do away with all the " police MEN " also,.....

    Probably few men there anyway. I have been hearing Los Angeles has a major rat problem and they are spreading typhus. Perhaps the word "RAT" should be prohibited.

    It's not fake news...it's true.

    I suppose it's sexist.

    ON that front, I'm confident it would have been changed some time ago if instead of Manholes they were called Womanholes.

    California started this stuff way back when the movie "GI Jane" came out! For some insane reason, gender has always been a very confusing issue over there and they are trying to inflame our whole country with the spread of this ca ca!

    Thank God that the term ash hole is gender neutral so I can refer to these idiots properly. Wouldn't want to offend their delicate sensibilities. Bob

    Had to spell it that way for the auto censor. :roll:

    It will never end, the gender card, the race card. America is what it started in the beginning. Now there has to be a word correction for everything lest we offend "something".

    Insanity

    This is what happens when you let a bunch of scatter brain liberals educate, "indoctrinate" young children. The parents of these dimwits
    are dimwits, their parents were dimwits, so on and so forth.

    And worse the majority afraid to say what they want to because of being hurtful.

    That is like saying that women are equal, to what? :lol:

    Wonder what it will cost to review and change all the city codes, not to mention department rules procedures. Might require new badges for the fire and police depending on what's on them now. No patrolmen or firemen for sure.

    This is becoming a race to see who can codify the most insane ideas.
