    WARNING: If you say "manholes" in Berkeley, you are a sexist

    https://www.foxla.com/news/berkeley-...from-city-code

    "Language has power. The words we use are important," Robinson said. "It's not only timely, but necessary to make sure that our laws really speak for everyone."

    Indeed.

    From now on, they shall be called Maintenance Holes.

    It says they’re removing gendered language from the city code, where does it say that using it makes you sexist?

    Another example of Druff's critical thinking. If you continue to use "manhole covers" in your daily life it means you may be a little out of touch or just touched. The reason for the change is that men, who would not allow women to work in many areas were therefore free to name everything as they wished.

    Manhole cover is not insensitive unless your a female working in that area. What is it about that cover makes it a manhole cover? Oh just the fact that they were off limits to women. The male dominated society never thought one way or the other because they were working where no female was and they had the right to do what they wanted. Same with elections, attitude toward minorities, the list goes on.

    So call it a manhole cover and see what reaction you get

    And if you consider maintenance hole covers a problem then you are sexist

    The folks who came up with this legislation are "assholes". This is typical of solving a problem that didn't exist.

    I don’t know why they named them manhole covers, but if you’ve ever lifted one, there is maybe .001% of the female population that *might* be able to lift one back in the day when they did them manually with a bar. Most of those things back in the day were close to 200lbs. It very well have been named manhole covers because it wasn’t a job for boys or weak men. I don’t know the etymology of the word, but they’ve been called man hole covers long before any woman burned a bra or had any desire to get a job working for some road crew.

    I prefer to label them as personholes


    In any case, Canada's Justin Trudeau would most likely be proud of this new development.

    And no, I'm not kidding...

    As a proud Cal grad, let me clear this up for you all. A Maintenance Hole is something you’d find in the Berkeley streets. A Manhole is something you’d find in OSA’s sheets.

    This is what you get from a true idiot like tellatard. He can't express himself. He can't and doesn't argue a point instead he
    throws out a one liner like the one above. This guy has to be an idiot. That one liner wasn't remotely clever or funny, although one member liked it.

    You're truly a fool if you can't get past insults and respond to a topic
