Only men go down manholes. I've never seen a woman sewer worker.

Also "man" is short for "mankind" or "human".

Also aren't there like a million more important things to focus on? Like their ridiculous homelessness epidemic (which is 75% men), or maybe the fact electricity in Cali is a monopoly that costs .45c per kWh?

Nah, better focus on policing everyday language /s

Real women go down man holes.

Unfortunately, they look like men...

Also, how often do you look into manholes?. ;-p
