In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...

How (un)Intelligent

I don't know how many times I have driven through road construction sites and have seen husky, burly men working on the roads with women right alongside them, and "Men At Work"  signs next to the road and have never thought anything of it.

As a woman, the actual sign is the last thing I could care less about. 

The important thing is that I give both the men and the women credit for doing the hot, and dangerous work out on the roads.

But here we go, we have to have Atlanta-based PINK magazine editor, Cynthia Good make a PINK stink over the fact that the signs only say "MEN" at work.

Who the hell cares?

She allegedly goes out and paints a "WO" in front of the MEN.

Now in Atlanta the signs are being replaced with "Workers Ahead."

"We're calling on the rest of the nation to follow suit and make a statement that we will not accept these subtle forms of discrimination," said Good, 48.

Don't we have better things to do with our tax money ? 

Like repair our roads?
