International Women's Day 2013

[Junko 2,815]

Happy International Women's Day (even though some people here are probably on March 9 right now in their timezone) 

 

And for those who doesn't know, it's the the 8th of March the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements.

[Weiss 8,279]

This deserves a day honestly. Glad it has one considering all women in the world have done. Happy international women's day!

[Noobles 301]

Happy International Women's Day!

 

Ironically, I'm studying for a History Final and I just finished reading about Women Liberation Movements and the Women's Movement in Antinuclear Protest. 

[A mystery 346]

I did not know about this holiday, but I think it is a neat idea.  Happy International Women's Day everyone!

[MasterXemnas 2,285]

Fool. This holiday is a joke. A holiday celebrating a certain gender is dumb, because gender doesn't matter. I am for equality and this holiday is against it.

[xxClouDxxmoon 901]

Isnt this kinda sexism?

[blinxhero 91]

So, uhhh... when is International Men's day?

[Koko 3,944]

Isnt this kinda sexism?

 

 

No. Just like how Black History Month isn't racism, this isn't sexism.

 

So, uhhh... when is International Men's day?

 

Same as White History Month, all year long because you know we live in a patriarchal society who often looks down upon women.

 

Frick yeah women's day.

No it's not?? Yeah sure gender doesn't matter, but since most of the world has a society where men come out on top, it's good to have a day celebrating the often overlooked achievements of female identifying individuals.

So, uhhh... when is International Men's day?

19th November, but not everywhere... But in USA and Australia for sure.I'm a boy and kinda have to celebrate this day too. It's my birthday. Well and the 19th November is my brothers Birthday.So, I wish every girl who's willing to celebrate today a wonderful Women's Day

I'm not sure if that Steak and B.J. day counts. it is basically a men's day

I'm not sure though if there is anyone who actually celebrates it

I actually have no clue what you are on about o.O

[Dracozombie 4,554]

I have tits and ovaries and I do stuff.  I guess this holiday is for me.

What better day could there be? Perfect place and day

 

I'm kind of annoyed by this day.

"Oh, looook in this book! It's sexist, they only use the male form for everyone, boohoo." it's the neutral form, waah.

exhibit a of why we need this dayalso no the male form should not be the neutral formthere are actual neutral forms that we can use

[Queen Tery 4,591]

Cool beans~ The only sad part about this day is that we live in a world where women are recognized one day of the year instead of equally throughout the year. But if we're going to live in a world like this at least recognizing them at all is better than nothing

I AM female and I don't have a problem with that. ;-)

[Koko 3,944]

i never said or assumed you were or werent female identifying but just because you dont find a problem with it doesnt meant others (not just women) dont. a + job on your internalized misogyny thoi still stand by my point that youre one of the reasons we need this day

Happy let's-be-sexist-men-and-prove-why-we-need-this day.

God damn it this is embarrassing.

I don't see how I can be a reason for it. I'm for equal rights etc. but I find it a waste, if "we need" this and that in order to be "equal". Some want female traffic lights...

you are obviously missing the point and so thickheaded and drowning in misogyny that i dont even care because i dont even think you know what youre saying (i dont even know where you went from gendered forms, which is a legitimate concern to traffic signals)

just cuz you claim to support equality doesnt mean you dont oppress the individuals you supposedly support, even if those include yourself

you can say you support this and that but that doesnt mean you actually do, especially when you dont know what youre talking about

that is why we still need (intersectional) feminism because of people who don know what theyre talking about when it comes to equality between all gender identities

Are you one of these persons who think "s/he must be wrong if s/he does not think the same as I do"?

Whatever. Whenever someone is like that I see no reason to discuss things any further, because, no matter what I say now, it will always be wrong.

I was gonna re-blog this day on tumblr but for some reason I disided not to...

 

Of course. Gender is subjectory, technecly. But happy woman's day anyways. There are perks to being female, I guess.

 

Or so.....says society.

 

I duno.

 

*hides behind rikoo*

:ph34r: 

 

 

And gender doesn't determan if one has more of less rights. If anything, it feels men have less rights.... they don't even get to wear dresses, it seems  and, don't tell me ya can't be a badass in a dress. i'm living proof that its possable =P there needs to be a men's day now, perhaps......long live dresses?......i duno if im helping. or making things worse...i don't know much about how the world works anyways U_U;;;

men do not have less rights, any source of "disadvantage" men have is a result of patriarchy and sexism towards women. basically any "disadvantage" its when their world backfires on them (i.e. cant wear dresses because its feminine and being feminine is shameful apparently because being a woman is shameful to them)

not to be rude, you seem very sweet, but if you know you dont understand how the world works sometimes, its best not give your input because you will come out looking ignorant
