I was watching the news the other day and a interesting story came on about how women had protested the "Men Working" road construction signs around Atlanta Ga. Well, Georgia's department of transportation decided to change the signs to "Workers Ahead." What do y'all think about this. In my opinion, I think it is good, I guess, that roadside around Atlanta are now more gender friendly. But, then again, does it really matter? Either way it is conveying the same message: "Don't hit the people on the side of the road." I think there are more pressing issues to women other than roadsides. But, this is only my humble opinion...

That is funny... it is really interesting how little things like that cause changes that help women gain equality one step at a time.
Brad, I agree while this does move towards gender equality in some form, I also think there are more pressing issues to focus on. But as they say "you pick your battles." You have to win the battles to utlimately win the war. If this is considered a war - used to be called the "war of the sexes."
Our PC generation in action. We will eventually become a sexless society. Don't think that is the goal but we seem to be heading in that general direction.
