Man hours

[EK993]

I was just in a meeting where one of the participents used the term man-hours in estimating effort for a task. He was stopped mid flow by a woman in the meeting who took offence to this and stated "Can I just point out it is person hours - not man hours". This was in a packed meeting with multiple participants from International regions also joined on a conference call bridge.

Is it really that offensive to modern-day-woman to use the term man-hours??

I don't know.

What do you think, Poppet? Come back and tell us once you've put the kettle on, there's a love.

I hope this meeting took place in the kitchen?

With her topless...

In fact, it wasn't Tonker & Soovy, LLP, was it?

Clearly just a hairy-legged lesbian with a monobrow and a chip on both shoulders. Frankly if she has nothing better to say than that then she isn't worth listening to; an empty vessel and all that.

Feminist: "Can I just point out it is person hours - not man hours".

Bloke: "Nice tits luv. Anyway, football............."

I stopped myself recently mid a meeting when I was about to say "It will take 30-40 man-hours" and then corrected to say "person hours" instead. I did wonder at the time whether there was anything wrong with saying man-hours with the best meant of it.

But man-hours to woman-hours is the same ratio as inches to centimetres.

I use person hours. That said, I dont have much time for the sort of person who would vociferously challenge those that use "man hours".

I did find it to be the wrong side of PC when my Father-in-law recently did at a council meeting and opened his session with "the in the woodpile is....".

Imagine being so thick as to not understand that 'Man' in certain contexts has nothing to do with gender. Send the daft bint in the direction of Bronowski/Armstrong.

I would say thats pretty damn unprofessional of her.

Its just a saying. If you had said "30 man hours or 50 woman hours", then I could understand her taking offence.

I had a similar outburst after asking someone for their man number (like a payroll number). She shut up when I pointed out it was Management Number

Didn't some council ban the term "manager" for a while?

that was due to trading standards though as no one could Manage
