It is international wife beating day today.
I've never hit a woman, even accidentally, without massive amounts of apologising, buying flowers, and generally being extra nice. When my girlfriend hits me, she thinks it's funny, and does it again.
Hardly equality of the sexes, is it? What do you find so unfair, that it makes you want to hit a weaker member of society than yourself?

But seriously folks, International Birds Day, WTF? I don't recall there being a mans day.
A girl I work with is highly qualified and gives it the mouth if she thinks the firm or an individual could be said to be infringing wimmins rights. Yet she has no problem calling in sick with "women's problems". Lez.

I fucking love the "What? A [Generally accepted prosecuted demographic] day? I don't see no [oppressing, at some point in history, demographic] day !" line.
I don't think prosecuted is the right word, but I mean, a group that was generally a second-class citizen.

You may want to rephrase that opening sentence*...
I gave my poor other half a bloody nose. I was being a twat on the coast in high wind, holding out my coat like a cape and running towards her as the wind blew me along and somehow punched her straight in the face. She still won't let me forget it.
I haven't felt the need to hit a weaker member of society ever, but if I do, I'll make sure I go to the next /talk bash.
*Edit, sorry 'second' sentence. There is nothing that could be misinterpreted about the first.

Whilst I am appaled by you hitting your other half, it has had two effects.
1. I found it rather funny.
2. She has stuck by you, being too scared to leave, in case you duffed her up proper.

International Womens day a few years ago
I was handed a badge outside Tower Hill station that looked like a tube sign but said "Only women bleed, only women conceive, give up your seat"
I was livid and I keep it as reminder that being female and pro humanity is far more important than being a misguided feminist.

it's really irritating
if they want more women/people from different backgrounds to be promoted, they don't shove existing good people out of the way. they change the system so that the under-represented can actually stand a chance of getting the jobs. eg the massive barking elephant in the corner of the room, that not one person will discuss, is that women's careers tend to stall when they have kids.
so don't set up "female mentoring" schemes that are just a load of lip-service. set up a creche. or actually allow women to work from home part-time. or try giving them a job if they've had 2 years off. grrr.
