International women's day - i find it annoying iin?

75% Normal
9 Comments

FFS I'm so over it and it's annoying hearing the same old shit year in and year out, esp. at work.

This is what I heard at work today:

"Yeah Happy International Women's Day! Yeah let's hear it for the sisters!" (fist pump)

"Yoohoo! Yah! You go girl!!

"Yeah. Girrll Power! Woohoo!"

"Let's scissor each other right now!" (ok i made that bit up)

It's trite, pathetic, tokenism with overtones of mysandry.

Is it normal I dislike the same old inane femipenisenvy behaviour and comments that get repeated on IWD every single year... ad infinitum?

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I wasn't focused on women's day yesterday. I could care less about it. I was focused on International Pancake Day. I got a free short stack of pancakes at iHop yesterday. Yummy!

    Personally I prefer a good fist pump on Arbor Day.

    Let's hear it for the trees!

    I'm not really a fan of it. I think it's pointless. Same goes for any day for certain groups of people.

    I know, right?
    There is this website for women who sail, and they go all ga ga when a woman does something as simple as anchoring a 40 foot boat alone. A gazillion likes and cheers all around. It's like they don't expect that a woman can do this stuff (it's not like sailing is fucking rocket science or anything). What does that say about the modern woman's self confidence and empowerment? Not much, IMO.

      *You come home from work*
      You: Honey, I'm home
      Your Wife: Hey, darling, it's great to see you
      You: ...yeah uhh...great to see you too. Where the fuck is my sandwich?
      Your Wife: I uhh...
      You: You uhh -- yeah, get the fuck back in the kitchen
      Your Son: Hey Dad, wanna go play some catch?
      You: Sorry son, but Dad can't play catch on an empty stomach. Mommy didn't make Dad a sandwich, so because of Mommy, we can't go play catch and spend time together like a father and son are supposed to do. I'm so sorry, son
