A contractor working at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, put up one of those standard orange "Men Working" signs. The college demanded the sign be removed because it is sexist.

Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, made the call in mid-November after a female employee raised concerns that the construction company’s sign was too biased, WKEF-TV reported.
The construction company, Jcrane Inc., told the local news station that it has used such signs “frequently and have never had a problem before.”
“It is our obligation to the students of Sinclair to provide them with a safe learning environment,” the company said in a statement, adding that safety is its top priority.
“In no way is the signage provided by Jcrane, in particular a ‘men working’ sign, sexist."

But a poll at the NY Daily News
website, asking if the sign is sexist, is running 3% yes and 97% no, at the moment.
