Just another excuse for them to claim how victimised they are.

It's a seriously big deal out here, a national holiday, every woman in the village meeting at the hall by noon, snacks and Rakia (moonshine) galore, dancing, music, the works. Woe betide any man who dares to go near!

Here, absolutely no one knows or cares. If Farkbook hadn't been all PC on me I would not have known.

The Mrs doesn't know. If she finds out, she won't give a st. She's rather cool like that.

Anyone aware of when International Men Day is ? Equality and all that.

19th November 2017

But it wont get the same publicity of course. Just as fathers day gets less than mothers day.

My Mrs has been given the day off and is spending it at the spa and shopping. She seems to think I should be treating her in some way.

I could ignore this holiday until Mrs D-Angle and I saw Deadpool....

Cool. I've had a hankering for an international woman recently. Anyone know what time I can expect my delivery?

As a wise man once said, you hear about women complaining there isn't enough female representation in board rooms or high level government.

But they're conspicuously quiet on the subject of refuse collectors and sewage workers...

The problem with this forum and a lot of attitudes inside and outside it, is that it's assumed Power or Equality are like a pie or a pizza that can only be sliced up so many ways. It's then assumed that something's being taken away from them, they're somehow losing out.

It's really small minded

I read it twice and am none the wiser...

As for equality - the biggest step toward equality of the sexes would be to introduce a male contraceptive pill. That would certainly change the landscape!
