Do you really believe that Women's Day has to be celebrated in a big way?

[kitty71]

I mean why this day it has to be celebrated in BIG everywhere to support womens rights. Dont we have rights already? Why noone celebrate Men Day in November in BIG like Womens day?
What does that say then about honor women but not men?
Do men then are meanignless individuals? Just saying

I found this meme that a friend of mine posted on her social media account about tomorrow Women Day and I disagree on it. The meme says:

Three male chauvinist attitudes to avoid this Women Day", - To congratulate women on their day "just because they are the most beautiful beings" .
Women Day you remember , you do not celebrate it. It is about one day to keep us aware of the violence situations and injustice women face everyday"

Todays many social media sites are posting phrases, memes of Women messages and how women have to fight for our rights and duties, empowerement, power (the new century term LOL!!!) and fight for equity like men. Even on TV there are specials dedicated to women today,

Where I live in my country in this particular day , some feminists are going to take advantage of the day and have some little street parades, asking to legalize the abortion in my country and also the parade is to claim equity, rights in general, etc

I m aware that just being a woman things change and we have to struggle more for things that it comes easier if you are a man, right? But does it have to be that way?

Men`s Day is November 19th. But Did you all know there was a day for men too? I doubt it cause that day is like it does not exist for society. People do not focus on Men day, Women day is more important than Men day it seems., There are no parades or celebrations on Men day, it totally goes unnoticed for most of society.

Costa Rica is a wonderful country, and I highly doubt abortions being illegal would stop them from occurring there at all. I mean, cocaine is illegal, guns and ammo are under tight control, but I found them pretty easily. Panama is also right next door, and though I don't know their specific laws, I do know they have a lot for offer very cheap with no questions. Also really scary police, I didn't see any border I crossed, but oh boy was it obvious when I started seeing the guys in camo with rifles, submachine-guns, shotguns, and absolutely no weapon discipline in where they were pointing the things.

Anyway, I don't see a need for women or men's day. If someone, or a group of people want to shame me for that, make both of them federal holidays with paid vacation and I'd get somewhat more enthusiastic. Combining women and men accounts for the entire population, Martin Luther King Jr. day is a federal holiday celebrating the catalyst of equality for 20% of the population, so why not?

It just doesn't seem like a big deal for anyone except a small amount of post-modern feminists and SJWs. The only feminists I met who wanted, you know, actual equality and cared about women's rights typically went to do work in Africa or the Middle East... not America, North, South or Central.

[NamerOfStars]

There's a very prevalent idea, quite common even in the western first world where it's not even CLOSE to true, that women are the oppressed sex, held down and victimized for the benefit of men. Consequently, pretty much everything that's supposed to be a celebration of women is instead a trumpeting of their eternal victimhood, never praising their accomplishments, or pausing to appreciate their benefits, or even just saying "Here's a list of neat things about women". No, it's just Victim, Victim, Victim, all around the clock. You fill people's heads with this idea, and then you wonder why women never try to do anything big.

It's just another example of the prevailing psychosocial narrative of the last six thousand years: men get respect, women get empathy. Most people don't even know about international Men's day, and usually offer scorn and derision if they do. You can look at they way society treats people and say "this isn't fair". You can choose to carefully examine your behavior and treat people more equally. We can do it as individuals- but not as a society. If it's going to change, it's going to be one person at a time.

I don't know, I don't like complaining about stupid shit. I enjoyed hearing about the Kurdish women fighting ISIS. foreignpolicy.com/.../

And I watched the news and found a group of women starting their own taco business. It was super wholesome. I use this day as a reminder that we've come a long way and changed the way most people treat/view women. Watching them become successful and doing things that used to not be allowed or considered "appropriate".

International men's day should be treated the same way I believe. I don't know why people are so bitter about one day out of the year.

[girlintroubles]

First, I knew about the 11.19 Second, in many regions its already recognised women's day is not a day to be 'celebrated' but a day to commemorate about the fight for women's rights. Unfortunately in many societies women are still agressed for being women (raped, abused, burned) so this is a continues fight

[TonyMetal___86]

As if there is a country where rape doesn't exists 🤣

[jgokgotit]

I'm not a fan of women's day/month, black history month or anything like that. To me, the fact that people feel the need to make these points blatant means they do not understand the law and the rights they do have. They are fighting for something they already have, which is a waste of energy. Don't get me wrong, it is important to remember the past so we do not repeat mistakes, but elevating a group above others (intentionally or not) will cause the past to repeat. Also, there is a difference between legal rights and prejudice. Legal rights are things the law covers. When it comes to the law, all people are equal in the U. S. The real problem we need to fight is prejudice, but no number of laws will change how people think on the inside. Take racism. The law gives blacks the same rights as whites. No more laws are needed to gain legal equality. Also, laws will not eliminate racism in a person's heart. The ONLY way to stop racism is to teach children correctly. Same with women's rights, etc.

[VertigoJ]

The fundamental point is that women are still not treated as equals. Truthfully, it's a lot better than it has been historically, but we still see gaps between the treatment of men and women. I don't think Womens day does any harm. We need to modify things, there is no harm in equal households, there's no harm in the quaint 50s housewife, but what we need, is to have a wide enough spectrum to encompass both the traditionalist, and the feminist. There is nothing wrong with feminism. Wanting to be seen as equal is not a bad thing, but, there are many women who want traditional gender roles, and it's not my place to tell them it is archaic, or malpractice. Womens day does no harm, and in celebration of oft unknown women who have unequivocally helped mankind, it does more good than anything else. It's not a fight. It's not an incitement to conflict and truth be told, it says more about people who have issues with it than those who do not.

[JackSmy]

I never thought that women needed a 'specific' and 'special' day. When I am in a relationship, with her, every day is SPECIAL, BECAUSE I am with her!!
I know my gender, and if you say this day, or that, most try to remember, but often fail.
But what about the guys that really LOVE, and CARE. Why does there need to be a specific day, because every day with her is special!!
Not that there are flowers, or chocolates every day! LOL! But just the close, intimacy, the close connection, love, and caring, EVERY DAY!

[DevilsAdvocator]

Enough said.

[VanillaSalt]

I wanna comment on your last paragraph. Some things come easier to men for sure. I can’t and won’t list them right now but I would like to point out the things that come easily for women that men don’t get. When a woman is abused the country fights back but when a man is abused it’s just a thing. When dating the woman holds the power of rejection, the power of selection, in marriage the power of the family, generally women spend a majority of the money of the household, in divorce they get priority in child custody, financial considerations. Outside relationships cops called on a domestic disturbance tend to look at the man as the cause at first, accusations of rape end men and their futures while the accusers whose claims were false suffer no retribution.


There’s many many inequalities in the world. It sucks but that’s why we come together. To balance these out and help each other.

[AFellowWeeb]

Women have it easier in life here in the west, feminists dont want equality, they want superiority, there's no point on making such a fuss on womens day, no need at all, women these days are being hired for high work positions not because of their skill, but because they were born with a vagina, im sick of fkng feminism, fkng toxic comunity, men here in the west suffer more than women, and no one gives a flying fk, women here live life on easy mode, just partying without any worry, they literally have to make up their own problems in life to make it appear harder, like dating shit men then complaining how ''''oppressed'''' they are.

[AFellowWeeb]

update: ''Men`s Day is November 19th''
didn't even knew we had a day, just reenforcing my ideas even more.

[Anonymous]

I find it odd that the same people who sat next to me in science class in highschool and college need a special month to help them achive. They also need many many programs to encourage them to go into fields that they normally wouldn't go into.

What is more important? Going into a field that you are interested in or going into a field because a 58 year old fat single lesbian is telling a whole generation of girls that they need to go into it? Who will get the blame when the girl realizes that this is what she wanted but she already wasted a lot of $$ on getting that education

[Thought121]

That's to each individual. It doesn't even have to be celebrated at all.
The reason we don't celebrate men could be because of the "War on Men" or because men really don't clamor for attention and celebration of the male sex.

Both men and women share struggles and those that may be unique to their sex. Being a man is every bit as hard as being a woman.

[Kaneki05]

Cause mostly women were the oppressed. Could have Submissive guys days i guess because Submissive men were repressed by Romans and Greeks and probably lots of other places as Sex slaves?
But Overall dominant straight males were not that oppressed. And in England we do it because women couldn't vote when men could aka women been oppressed human rights which men had.

[AdithyaR]

Well to be honest, men weren't treated like second citizens for centuries and systematically oppressed for centuries.
So I can understand why women's day gets more attention.

Personally I celebrate both, I use each of the days to thank and appreciate all the women and men in my life that I have the privilege of knowing.

[LeoElias]

I didn't know a womens day or mens day even existed until now. I don't really care if a womens day exists. Let them have their moment. Let men have their moment with mens day. I don't care to have such a negative opinion against it. Let live and let go.

[TonyMetal___86]

Women's day means sh*t to me, the last thing that i could think of is women's day because i'm an anti feminism...
I'll celebrate when i find a real traditional lady!

On woman's day i stop watching tv, because om this day they make a woman looks like god and the man like an insect!

Feminism is the cancer of today's world and the reason why the majority of women aren't happy at all and keeps complaining on men!

[crazyish]

I didn't even know it was women's day to be honest. Yes I have experienced injustice just because I am a woman, but that happens to everyone, just in a different discrimative way. No, It does not need to be this way.

[TonyMetal___86]

What have you experienced? Well your a girl, your not a man to be treated like a man...

[crazyish]

I worked at a bank and I went through training to move up into a bankers position. There was a guy working there as well, I had been there longer and he hadn't taken any of the training. He did not have a degree either. He applied to same position and he got it. I know my work ethic and I know my knowledge. If I had thought he deserved it over me that would be a different story. He even had so many issues after getting the position. I had a friend that worked in HR and come to find out they were already processing me to get the position but the branch manager, which was a guy, decided he'd rather have him. And I quote " they already had 2 female bankers" 🙄 its not a big deal now, I see it happen a lot. I just have to work harder than most men so they can't question if I deserve any promotion. The world isn't fair.

I'm not asking to be treated like a man, I know my limits. I know there are jobs I physically can't do and men can. That's not an issue for me.

And there are some situations where a man has exerted their physical strength over me, where I obviously wasn't a match for them.

But maybe it all has made me better, I took defense classes and my work ethic is top notch. It's life. There is nothing you can do but make sure it doesn't happen again.

[TonyMetal___86]

From your story, i can feel that your a sweet girl who have deserved this position, well if i had a bank or any work place, i'll make sure to only promote the person who deserves the position, it ain't fair to give a position for a person who dosen't deserves it just because the gender, race or color... etc

Personally i prefer the woman at home, i'll never marry a girl who doesn't adores becoming a housewife, this is a sacred role for a married woman...

Anyways for a man like me, you don't have to work harder or prove yourself to me cause a test is as test, who wins will get the position...

Ofc a girl has her limits, men and women are different but guess what! A man and a woman complete each other unlike what feminists mentions and making it sound like there is a competitiom between a man and a woman...

A man might protect the girl, feed her and take care of her and she might feel that he is all her life and without him she might die!

This might be true but for a man to achieve all these, it's because he had a real lady always supporting him and backing him to succeed...

Life is "a man + a woman = a human being"...

I wish you the best 😌

[crazyish]

Aww you have a very sweet view on your ultimate relationship. I wish you luck on finding your happy ever after☺

[TonyMetal___86]

Thanks sweet lady, i wish you the same too 😊

[OlderThanILook]

I don't think it really matters. Anyone can celebrate anything on any day. I can have my own Men's day today if I really wanted to. No need to take anything away or give anything extra in my opinion. Just let people celebrate what they want.

[DrunkAss]

Now it's being labeled as "womxn's day", isn't it? I have no problem with holidays but I'm not a fan of divisive ideologies that conflate normality with supremacy.

[Anonymous]

I don't think of it as a celebration but a day to commemorate everything we've achieved. A day to think about the efforts and sacrifices our predecessors made and all the changes that still need to be made

[kitty71]

Why only in one day?

[Stevepro68]

I feel Samuel Jackson said it best about black history month. Do you really want a white history month? Why would I want a black history month?
Same for women's day

[Adam1978]

I don't celibate any of those days, except birthdays. I think you should act the same all year around and not let a calendar dictate when you treat someone in a special way.

[EmmaMary]

As far as I'm aware it's not actually celebrate as such here in the UK, in fact I didn't even know or realise this until today.

[MillenniumBill]

I always try to reverse things like this.
Try celebrating "International Mens Day" and see what support you get.

[DavidDong]

Eh, celebrate it as much as mens day, equality.

And oh, mens day gets shit on lol
Pretty sure google didn't even change their logo, I mean damn they love changin it.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Didn't know men's day existed, and until recently same for women's day, but yeah honestly I don't get this urge people have to make holidays about everything.

[Miristheiss]

Neither I nor my mom, wife... anyone I know has every celebrated it.
We celebrate Mother's Day.
That's it.

[Hannah_le]

To be fair I have no idea what women’s day is lol. It’s not something I feel to care for either.

[exitseven]

If I bought flowers for my wife for International Womens Day she would laugh at me.
I love that woman.

[genericname85]

no i don't. i don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal about that. i guess certain people need to celebrate their mediocrity more than others.

[Dazzler1983]

Women should be treated the same as a man and in UK it's getting there but men and women are different. So let's embrace our strengths and use them for the better good.

[Scobby-Dube]

To be honest all these fucking days are just stupid. I think they were thought up by industry to be able to sell more crap. The only day that should have a day is Remembrance Day (Canada) and Veterans Day (US).

[JessicaNeo]

No, I won't. We are living in a democratic country then why do we need to shout for our rights? We already hve freedom of speech

[SirJohn42]

I just dont care for either one.
Mens day or womens day.
To many lame days.
Instead just live your kives knowing you mean something every day.

[Toast792]

When I lived in Japan, we celebrated Boy's Day and Girl's day as well..

[douride2]

If I hadn't read about it here I would have never know it was Women's day. I don't see the need for a big celebration.

[_no_one_]

I don't even celebrate birthdays anymore lol. Such days are far down the priority list atm i got university and relationships to care about

[Anonymous]

considering there is literally nothing done for mens day, I feel like its kind of sexist for it to be a big celebration on womens day. Heck the only thing men get on mens day is shamed by feminists and the left..

[Djaay]

Truthfully , men don't adhere to it and have 0 interest in men's day. Men's day is everyday.
Women's day is only for women to celebrate whereas it should be everyday as well.

[Anonymous]

To my mind, being born female is not an achievement. International women's Day is therefore yet another fashionable and self indulgent gratuity that is of little meaning to me.

[Anonymous]

Men are unimportant, I should know I am one
Money makes you more important

The end goal is to kill any men who are not deemed perfect by the standard offered by feminism

[UnknownGagsUser]

No I personally don't really think about women's day

[MannMitAntworten]

Men’s Day is best celebrated with a stogie, bourbon, and peace and quiet.

[bannacookies]

No. I'm sick and tired of hearing about it actually.

[NorthwestRider]

I love how it triggers the religious nuts and plus I am pro women!!

[OddBeMe]

Is it even a celebration? It’s just a mild nod. Which good. We should have more days that remind us to be better.

[Anonymous]

I treated my female coworkers with chocolate today and they were all confused. Lol

I know about international men's day because the guy who choose November 19th and pushed for the day grew up on my street. Lol.

[derdepedie301]

Why can't we have everyday womens or and mens day :D?

[misanthropistkev]

Well I spent women’s day on the receiving end of a very fat dildo sooo

[grega239]

If we don't we'll never hear the end of it.

We don't celebrate men's day because fuck men

[BUNroaster]

Yes but not really. Like any holiday. Wheres men's day at though?

[GAGSucksBalls1]

Yes, I do. However, why don't men get an international mens day

[locutus9999]

19 of November... we have it indeed. but well...

[GAGSucksBalls1]

So how come it doesn't get as much attention

November isn't "mens history month", march is womens history month, and they get their OWN DAY

[locutus9999]

the worst... is like women day is to make people get consciousness of tbeyre issues... but men day is like to make men get concousness of issues like masculinity... like sucks... the inconvenient truth here... is that we are a worklabour so the state collects taxes... and nothing more... we suicide more... we live less... tgere are no campaigns designed for exampke to check your prostate or testicles.. etc... and all is fault of the politicians... anyway... this is the first year I saw no man celebrating women on my facebook... was like women posting stuf... one or 2 likes... and no one else say nothing... so yeah... things are changing... this day have woke up a huge bunch of resistance... I for example do not say happy womens day not even to my mother... she have mother day for that...

[GAGSucksBalls1]

how come i didn't get mho

[SetFree]

Sexism against men is alive and well. Let's hope the sexism dies ASAP.

[weysally]

no I don't think it should be celebrated at all,

[Anonymous]

No. You should never celebrate something that you were born with.

[Samantha_17]

Everyday is a women's day :D

[TonyMetal___86]

Really? Why is that? 🤔

[SavageGirl101]

cause womens day is more important

[TonyMetal___86]

Why is it more important? Is it because we see more crazy h*es on the streets 😂

[SavageGirl101]

[TonyMetal___86]

Women's achievements eyyyy HAHAHA 🤪

[TonyMetal___86]

DUH!

[SavageGirl101]

[TonyMetal___86]

One of their achievements is they are becoming better strippers 😂

[R4zor]

It's funny you're everywhere now for real can you tell me what is your problem with men?

[SavageGirl101]

@R4zor i see you're still obsessed with me goodbye

[R4zor]

What a self indulgant cunt Your face is unfuckable and you mother is just whore who gave birth to you in an accident

[SavageGirl101]

[jhnny1331]

Everyday women should be celebrated

[Iron_Man]

I guess they deserve a big day

[Diversity_Hire]

I just don't care. 🤷‍♂️

[JessieBellll]

I don't care about celebrations

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If they do deserve it then so does men

[msc545]

Nothing is easier for men.

I didn't know today was women's day 🙈
