What’s harming women is not the sign but the over-reaction to it.

A Massachusetts state lawmaker wants to remove a sign at a door entrance that’s named after Union Army General Joseph Hooker — because the word “hooker” is offensive to women.

That’s right. General Hooker may have fought against the Confederacy, and not for it, but apparently, honoring him is still too offensive.

The sign in question is outside a Massachusetts statehouse and reads “General Hooker Entrance,” because it is near a statue of General Hooker. That seems perfectly reasonable to me, but state representative Michelle DuBois (D., Plymouth) said it’s actually an assault on “women’s dignity.”

“Female staffers don’t use that entrance because the sign is offensive to them,” DuBois told local news source WBZ-TV.

I grew up in a town where a school is named after the same General Hooker. Understandably, parents are not crazy about telling other people that their kids went to Hooker School but the kids always loved it. :lol:

I happen to believe ALL hookers are special.  It’s just the entrance that is general...
