Happy International Women's Day!

To all of the Loungers!

I'm celebrating by wearing black and attending the #RepealThe8th march later on.

I'm not marching, but happy women's day all!

I'm off work dressed in black and picking up snotty tissues madam drops all over the place. Every time snot starts running down the nose she goes 'tissue' in the most dramatic voice possible. Since I am of work I can just as well clean the utility room which is a kip.

I'm not exactly sure what kind of message I'm making on Women's Day.

And just so you know, when you inevitably encounter the snide comment "why isn't there an international men's day?" -- November 19. It's November 19.

Wearing black and made a donation to the Abortion Support Network because I can't make it to the protest at the Irish Embassy at lunchtime (I work on the opposite side of central London).

I'm in work but because it's a therapy centre and its overwhelming female, we've spent the morning doing personal development and we are just about to have a lunch together. Then I'm going to spend the day with my daughter while my husband holds the fort.

I'm a man. Backing away slowly

If asked 4 colleagues about this and none knew about it.
Is it even mentioned in the media. I haven't heard of it
A big of googling and it is used as a m ns health day talking about prostate cancer etc. While good it still isn't enough.



Nov 19 is also international toilet day.

It was mentioned quite a bit last year on the news, it also has its own dedicated thread on the Gentlemens Club forum. Let's leave today to talk about the actual day that's in it and not one due in another few months.

Well that's just not fair. You get a day in early spring when everything is looking brighter. We get November!!!
Seriously I think this day is important, if feminism is equal rights and equal opportunities I can't see how anyone can have a problem with that.

On this international woman's day, one young women and innocent little children have occupied my thoughts all day.

Thinking of young Ann Marie O'Brien, her unborn baby, little Paris, little Holly, and now the little Jordan.

They all perished in the early hours of this morning in the house fire at the domestic violence support facility in Clondalkin.

I'm originally from the area. Gutted since hearing this news on the radio driving to work this morning.
