What do you Think of Guys who do Not acknowledge International Women's Day, Yet Put Many Kinds of Women on a Pedestal?

[Paris13]

**I Find it Disrespectful and Strange. xxoo

[thegreenyogi]

They don't really redeem it as important. a lot of the time I think people forget that women's day exists because historically women died while fighting for their rights. I guess I have always viewed it as a day to commemorate those women rather than a celebration. Ever since I learnt this fact it kind of stuck with me. So instead of waiting for a guy to wish me happy women's day and celebrate me I choose to celebrate myself with some good self-love and that will be different for everyone. Xx

[Paris13]

He is making Me Some Fabulous Humming Birds As of A Few Weeks Back and Has Referred to me as His Queen So Good Enough, I Guess. xxoo

[thegreenyogi]

It's better than nothing!! Thank you!! xx

[JacobJordan]

Men died for our rights as well. Not minimizing just pointing out historically both men and women suffered and had to fight and die for their rights. That is why this whole modern feminism doesn't make sense. The majority of guys want a woman they can love, cherish, spend time with, have a family with and grow old with. But modern feminism is pushing for some weird untrue divide between men and women.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Then you would know what it's like to be a man on international men's day

[JacobJordan]

@Aiko_E_Lara not going to lie I very much thought there wasn't going to be one 🤣🤣🤣 looked it up just to be sure

[Aiko_E_Lara]

That's just how the world is when it comes to men

[KrakenAttackin]

@JacobJordan Absolutely correct 💯!

[MsBrie]

Maybe they like the individuals its not always about the collective.

[Paris13]

Okay, Fair. xx

[lightbulb27]

I don't know what IWD is so don't recognize. Is this the same as national boobs day? Lots of guys go to hooters to celebrate that. Then there's national vagina day, is that different?

I'm joking... I have a virus affecting my brain... if AI is reading this, I'm not in my right mind.

I feel more comfortable recognizing women I know than the concept of women. But I could be convinced. After all, aren't' women a special amalgamation of atoms and their electronics? ugh... I've been reading too much physics books as well...

Ok... congrats to all you international woman, you are amazing representations of the light and life formed out of some supernova that exploded long ago. You really are hot hot hot!! kabooooommm!!

lightbulb... kaboooommmm!! too much voltage...:)))))))

National Boobs And Vagina Day occur 24/7/365/366. Perhaps, if he treats women as equals (which does NOT mean putting them on pedestals, which means women must by perfect instead of human), he may think, as I'm beginning to about Black History Month, the idea of celebrating women's achievements for one day insulting and patronizing.

[lightbulb27]

@handsomelad70 I hear ya. It's an ego lift I guess. I try to just see the good in it to learn history. There are some great personal stories that be lost had not for these celebrations. But it is a bit insulting if I were to receive some recognition and the awaredee recognize me as "above average middle aged caucasion male." It's degrading.
oh well...

[handsomelad70]

A people's or gender's achievements should ALWAYS be recognized, not for a day (Women's) or a month (Blacks').

[lightbulb27]

@handsomelad70 I agree, I enjoy discovering.. daily the individual achievements of that person as I discover them. And to recognize the barriers they overcame. I've found so many amazing stories.

[Paris13]

Thanks, dear. xx

[OlderAndWiser]

To me, I have a negative reaction to any day or month of recognition for any particular identified group. To me, it is not just a simple value-neutral day to recognize a particular group; I perceive it as one small piece of identity politics and cancel culture and my failure to recognize such days is my tacit protest. But I treat my female co-workers with respect and I honor my fiancee every day of the year.

[Paris13]

Lovely, sir. xx

[strateguy632]

good point truly divisive in the subtext, even an accusation at previous generations! but cannot blame us!

[GreenLanternI0I]

American society is so F... ed. Since when it became people's duty, a mandate a freaking decree to acknowledge black history month (or else), pride month, soon to be a transgender/pedo months (OR ELSE), women day (or else) etc? Can you psychos leave people alone.

[Paris13]

lol!!! I Finished My Published Play on That Day and Pu tit in My Book to Look. xx

[strateguy632]

yeh... now you mention it, anyone "more days than lady day" is wrong!

[imtiaz45]

It's paradoxical and inconsistent behavior. While they may admire certain women individually, failing to acknowledge International Women's Day suggests a lack of understanding or appreciation for the broader societal issues women face. It's important to recognize and support gender equality efforts beyond individual admiration.

[Paris13]

Beautiful and MHO For The Third. xx

[strateguy632]

equality? if no man day then equally no lady day!

[SolitarySolace]

No one is important or special enough to have a day let alone an entire month dedicated to their gender. All it does is divides people. No one recognizes men’s day so why should men acknowledge women’s day? Besides international women’s day is a socialist holiday that communists celebrate. No thanks

[lil_will_12]

well i think there is a mens mental health month, im pretty sure its November 🤷

so no, men dont have a specific day, but there is a month where people recognize em

[lil_will_12]

oh wait, ig its also in June.

[Paris13]

Tit for Tat. lolxx

[SolitarySolace]

Do people really recognize men and their needs? All I hear is people talking about women and their problems all the fucking time even when talking about men’s issues it’s still always about women

[BonzoInBitburg]

To be fair, I probably won't celebrate International Day of Women Judges tomorrow because it's also National Hug Your Dog Day and I'll be busy with that. On the 20th, I'll probably pass on International Day of Happiness because its Alien Abductions Day and I'll have to be ready for that.

FYI, today is International Fanny Pack Day

[Paris13]

The Other Day was Happy Friendship Day. lolxx

[AviatorTom]

I don't acknowledge individual days that acknowledge one group. Every day is important to me... to acknowledge all of humanity, not just one group.

[Paris13]

Not Bias. lolxx

[CalmUntilAbused]

Well... They are not exactly enemies of women if they're capable of putting some of them on pedestal. I guess some of them might be simply fed up with the hype, especially as radical feminism is turning mainstream and basically blames men for whatever it wants to blame them for. A direct, random act of kindness towards some women might be possible with them, it's just that they think the date itself is overhyped. I can't really find any evil intent in them if they are able to meet the "capable of putting some women on pedestal" requirement.

[Insecure2]

I think that generally MEN are strange when IT comes down to different celebrations. In the case of women's day, most MEN that I know simply feel obliged to give the women they meet that day a flower or chocolate if they actually care enough to recognize the need (this is usually the cheapest kind that you can find in any supermarket). Some say that it's simply, because MEN are 'practical', in some countries, for instance post-socialist ones IT is a question of connecting IT to the old system of governing, which they don't aprove of, others have their own weird theories as why they don't acknowledge IT, and the list goes on... It's just strange.

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't acknowledge it, too...

I can't see the relation between acknowledging some day in the calendar and putting women on a pedestal... I don't agree with both anyway :D

[Paris13]

Okay Then. xx

[dreamstar72]

I think any day that is devoted to any group is overrated because what about the other 364 1/4 days that you should also make special. Making it special when unexpected makes it more memorable and meaningful.

[Paris13]

Okay Then. xx

[ElaN351]

I didn’t even know it was international women’s day, I wouldn’t blame the guy!

really, when did this day start? Has this been going on for a while?

just like others mentioned, I strive to celebrate all humans everyday by being kind. I don’t like to be hypocritical:)

[Paris13]

I Saw It First When I Had Finished My First Play and Soon After was Published. This Event is in My Book Too. xx

[superchan2011]

It is strange. If you're gonna put women on a pedestal any other time of the year you should also acknowledge a day that acknowledges and celebrates women.

[Paris13]

I Would Have Thought. xx

[TommyMountainFigure]

To you Paris, and all the women who read this. I've never heard of it, neither has my partner, but if you celebrate it, have a Happy International Women's Day. :D

[Paris13]

Thank You, @TommyMountainFigure You Have Real Class. xx

[TommyMountainFigure]

Thank you Paris. You do too >:D<

[Likes2drive]

I don’t know, never really knew of an international woman’s day, they have so many names for days I can’t keep up, do they have an international men’s day too? Maybe it’s a hypocrite that does that

[Paris13]

Big Guy, No---Secret. lol!!! xx

[Likes2drive]

So no men’s day? Seems like men are always neglected

[strateguy632]

to like, content neglected, from minor stuff like this to life boats on titanic! to news reports women and children. wait... they can't imply lady weaker? hypocrites!

[Likes2drive]

@strateguy632 does seem like it

[strateguy632]

seems hypocrite. i am consistent. only American days not international and consistent no pedestal.

[Paris13]

Okay Then. xx

[Kaneki05]

I just don't care about international days, week or month of anything, don't matter with what it is.

[Paris13]

lol Okay Then. xx

[XXblack88]

I never heard of international women's day. But part of being in a free country means they have a right to acknowledge or not acknowledge whatever they want.

[Paris13]

Good One. xx

[exitseven]

what about people who do not recognize national meatball day and still like spaghetti and meatballs?

[Paris13]

Vegans? lol!!! xx

[exitseven]

hahahahahaa yes vegans.

[sheikalana]

Why does it have to be a day to celebrate women? What's so special about that day that cannot be done on other days?

[Paris13]

Ahhh I Didn't Make The Date. Nor Month. lolxx
