Okay. Employment Report in. So, today is International Women's Day, a celebration of women's achievements. Yes, I had to look that one up. Apparently March 8 has been Women's Day for a century or so, give or take a decade or five. I always thought the first Monday of March was a Wiccan celebration for spring and fertility. But International Women's Day it is. I did not know that. So when is International Men's Day? Apparently the remaining 364 days of the year are not all International Men's Days, although it seems that way. We celebrate sports almost daily that involve men puncturing spleens and incurring other internal injuries with blood spurting out various orifices. Oooooooohhhhh, so manly, you limping manly men with no teeth and a colostomy bag. Lots of pats on the backs for men in the workplace and politics as well. Women have to be ten times better than any man in order to get that same respect. Even then, women are still a novelty, a "piece of tail". The worst thing that could possibly happen to a woman is getting a hand-up through company or government initiative to even the playing field after thousands of years of inequality. A woman is downgraded to some "chick" after that. Or worse, a woman having a bad hair day, we've all seen the headlines when this happens to a female politician. Then, well, a woman is then considered a lesbian whether she is one or not. And there is nothing wrong with that, by the way. Men love it, the porno industry thrives on it. It's perfectly natural. Call us what you want, think what you want, that's what I say. I'm just waiting for the day for one of the female politicians to play that one up, men wouldn't know what to do. Turn some political debate into an excerpt from Playboy, women would have men on their knees.
The IWD theme does change from country to country. In North America, it's your boyfriend/husband's way of crawling out of the doghouse, "You know, your so pretty. I really didn't mean to sleep with your sister/mother/cousin/best friend. I was drunk, I swear, and it didn't mean anything." Any woman past the age of puberty has heard this line. And guys, remember this piece of advice forever, you can get away with almost anything if you tell us we're pretty. Just keep in mind if you sleep with our sister/mother/cousin/best friend, we're sleeping with your brother/father/cousin/best friend (all one person) at some point, too. We won't tell you when, it'll just happen when you least expect it, like the night before your wedding.
In other places around the world, it's like a celebration of women's liberation via the washing machine or some other sort of contraption that allows women to continue their work as slaves more efficiently. According to such publications like L'Osservatore Romano, the washing machine has done more for women's liberation than contraceptives and abortion. What is the Catholic church trying to tell us? They have a washing machine that prevents birth, performs abortions, and gets whites whiter than white? This IS cause for celebration!!! So happy IWD everyone, I'm going to go do my laundry now.

ReplyDeleteOh what the hell.. I can't edit posts or remove them without leaving a ghost post.
ReplyDeleteAll I was trying to say was the acronym IWD sounded scary, like a cross between IBS and CWD. Think of the poor sick deer with their sensitive gastrointestinal tract. You can buy robots to do pretty much anything nowadays. I think we should give up this women's blah blah blah and focus on the gassy deers with bone rot.
The gassy deers are definitely underrepresented in our society, I agreed.
