He-man......no way.....that is sooooo politically incorrect don’t ya know. Libs hate real men because evidently there is no such thing [said NO real woman EVER] soy boys, dork knobs , oh that reminds me, what will they call man buns from now on? We can only pray that their lack of sex awareness, perversion and love of abortion will lead to self-extinction.

This is Berkley... “Manholes” is a confusing term in the San Francisco area Not to be confused with the name of a certain gay bar...

"There’s power in language,” the bill’s primary author, Berkeley City Council member Rigel Robinson, told CNN. “This is a small move, but it matters. LOL! What doesn't she change her last name??? Rigel Robinperson.

Life is already better in Berkeley today. The sun came up earlier, the birds sang louder, crime vanished, homelessness gone, the streets are clean enough to eat off of, all is wonderful in Berkeley. Sort of like cities that have taken down the Confederate statues. The difference is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: Red Badger
It fascinates me that Berkeley has so few problems that they have time to spend on such a thing!

These people are either purposely contaminating our culture or they are seriously deranged and need professional help.

since son and daughter are replaced by “sibling”, I guess that would be Robin persibling.
To: dangus
They’re called “glory holes.”
To: Red Badger; Jim Robinson
These frauds have a serious problem that must be addressed before they can become truly gender neutral and that’s the male name of their politically correct, whacked-out, Left-wing “city.”
Established in 1868 by an Irish bishop George Berkeley, the University and city bear his name! Drats! Are these council members aware of their city’s inconvenient history? What are they going to do to address this historical error?
Bishop George Berkeley was probably celebate, but that’s not the same as neutered, so to make Berkeley gender neutral should the city council change its name?
