'Men At Work' signs to disappear in Atlanta

In the battle of the sexes, women's magazine editor Cynthia Good said this was a skirmish she had to fight.

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.

Good, founding editor of Atlanta-based PINK Magazine, a publication that focuses on professional women, said she's not stopping with Atlanta.

 :whatever:  Men and women are not equal.  Never have been.  Never will be.  Things would be awfully boring if they were.

Good for her!  She is learning how to spend OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.  She can now move into the big league politcal field.

When I see those signs they're usually followed by 8 "workers" "supervising" one who is actually working.

Who ******* cares what the GD sign says!  Good Lord I wish these ******* easy-to-offend a**holes could just shut the **** up and understand that it is an informational sign to let other a**holes know to slow the **** down.

Great idea, why don't they just put that on the signs?

If they actually worked in Atlanta they would have finished all their projects in 1/100th the time.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

If you don't see construction signs and barricades on I-75, you're not in Atlanta.
