So today Facebook is telling me it is women's day.
I have no issue with gender equality but I do have a pain hearing about girl power.
I don't need to be reminded women have brains and are able to live normal lives.

Yours
A salty white male.

Penelope Cruz is on domestic strike for the day. I assume that means if she spills something she won't expend the effort to tell a maid to clean it up until after midnight.

Heard that Mr Price are giving away a hamper of cleaning products to the first woman customer today.

Fair play to them.

Is it not a bit patronising to give the wimmins a special day?
Or should it be matronising for the day that's in it?

I always look forward to this annual thread. It usually ends up well.

I’ll pop back on here for a look tomorrow, it’ll be on page 46, 2 feminists and a bunch of men shjting on about equal rights

I got a Whatsapp message from my friend at 7am telling me it was International Women's Day. International Women's Day woke me up too early. I hate it now.

Ladies enjoy the day, for today only there are no calories in sweets, ice cream, cake, wine, gin, and processo.

Chips and Crisps remain calorieless as they do on any other day as long as you eat what's not yours.

If you are a man who believes in equality, are you automatically a feminist?

The best ones are the adverts on social media for restaurants or bars that start with a sternly virtuous tone that would make a suffragette blush, before ending with HALF PRICE COCKTAILS AND WINE WITH THE GIRLOS XOX

I'd be embarrassed to get free priority boarding from Aer Lingus today, especially as I'm a man.

Is there a men’s day?


Waiting for the inevitable...

There is. It's the same day as World Toilet Day.

The difference between men and women's day is that women are rightly celebrated for their achievements. Men's day is a day to highlight their weaknesses. Mental health, "toxic masculinity" and not going to doctor's are the only things that seem to get highlighted. You won't hear of Brunel, Darwin, Galileo etc being championed. It's all the negatives.

Yeah those guys are practically forgotten in the history books. They need awareness days all.

On international men's day?

As it's also Seachtain Na Gaelige - that bizzare Irish Language Festival "week" that lasts for 17 days - my woman has informed me that she's entitled to an Irish Coffee - made by me!

Is she correct? And if so, could some kind person - of either gender - link me to the relevant bylaw please?

The very first sentence on the women's day website

"Now, more than ever, there's a strong call-to-action to press forward and progress gender parity. There's a strong call to #PressforProgress motivating and uniting friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive."

The very first sentence on the men's day website

"Objectives of International Men's Day include a focus on men's and boy's health, improving gender relations, promoting gender equality, and highlighting positive male role models"

Notice the difference in tone. Women's is positive, strive forward, unite, progress.

Men's is negative. Reign yourselves in, get approved role models, health issues.

WHIP IT!

My local gym, in "honour" of International Women's Day, is turning all the lights in the gym PINK for the day!

"Let's make everything pink, the girls will love that. Girls love pink..... #Equality.... #GirlBoss"

All women have gone on strike today here in Spain because of the wage gap. My academy is closing a bit earlier. There is a protest arranged later on this evening I think I will go to support it.

Marketing spin. Essentially what they are saying is reign in your dominance to accommodate women.

you don't think women should be accommodated or are accommodated enough?

I don't see why men are involved in any abortion debates in Ireland, so men should accommodate women here.

It shouldn't even be a debate anyway.

That's a fairly big leap there. Promoting health gender equality and good role models could only equate to 'reign in your dominance' if you really really wanted to read it that way.

They're both agenda led packs of stupidity.

Ffs, improving gender relations. If the two genders couldn't get along we'd have gone extinct shortly after developing them.

Nope. You're an egalitarian.

Modern feminism and the determination to make any "white cis gendered male" ashamed of their "privilege" is a relatively new, and hopefully brief, thing.

This can't have been easy to do (in practical terms, not ideological)

Clever marketing stunt.

What. A. Load. Of. S**t.

Stop putting women up on a pedestal if you want equality. Can't work both ways. It's like they're saying go you women you can do jobs too and you can be great as well! You're all just so super! Very patronising I'd imagine and singling them out as par the fact that because they're women it's amazing they're doing things that men do too! That's not equality that's preferential treament and it doesn't make a difference because it's a positive thing. Just separates one group from the other. If we're all the same than we're all the same, that's that.

Indeed. Wow, we should get a medal for getting women pregnant.

Well the man doesn't have to worry about what happens afterwards when the load is shot.

Well, Brunel has the bus station in Slough named after him. It doesn’t get more glamorous than that!
