Sorry. I’m not built that way. It’s kind of pathetic to have a day on the calendar to celebrate that (for men at least). My kids give me all the acknowledgment that I need and they do it when the moments are right. Not on fabricated days. But you’re right. It is just me. Nonetheless, Hope your woman’s day was good.

I will actually tell you a little side story , I have a 30 year old friend who recently started seeing a 55 year old man (he’s going through a divorce). She told me that she expected flowers for IWD. She then said that non were given. She was very upset. But she did acknowledge that he is kind and generous and attentive in every other way. Question for you is , were her expectations too high and is she knit picking or is he a selfish asshole ? Happy to hear your thoughts.

Don’t get your panties in a knot. The thread started with Why do we need an international women’s day? I agree , i don’t think we do. But I also don’t care if there is one. That’s my contribution to this thread. Yours seam to be an obsession with celebrating everything (your contribution to this thread). Well good for you. You’re a perfect example of the type of society we live in - the participation trophy society.

Actually no, not accurate. My question is if you didn't care that there is one, we wouldn't be having this discussion. We don't need you to declare your non support for every thing that other people support.

Just let other do thier thing and you do yours. :

Full disclosure: I have many women in my life that I love and respect: my mother, 2 daughters, many coworkers and clients. Yesterday was just another day for me. I didn't do anything special or go out of my way to congratulate anyone.

But I also don't mind if others do.

We all have women in our lives that we love. I have daughters, a wife, sister , mother. Again I don’t care that this day exists. Happy for everyone that was acknowledged and celebrated. I simply agreed with the original posts sentiment. And added that IMD (in my opinion , is a joke). Most men don’t care to be celebrated with a made up day. If you disagree, then OK. Two People, Two Opinions. Let’s call it a day on this subject and go respond to my thread on Natives and land rights in BC. Lol.

Fair enough. IMD day is a joke. We can agree on that.

I thought the day was to recognize women who have contributed to society medically, technologically, mechanically, etc. I never took it as a day to celebrate myself because I have a vagina. And I don’t think many other women do either. And we only recognize them because so many still think that everything was only invented by white men.

As for all the days that women have, this is laughable to be comparing like this.

We have Mother’s Day, you have Father’s Day. We have Valentine’s Day, you have steak and bj day, we have women’s day, you have men’s day. There is a day for trade workers who die on the job, there is a day for grandparents, there is a day for families as a whole. So what?

This is nothing more then a way to bash women that some men don’t like.

Not bashing women, reality checking modern feminists.

And where are they on this board?????? Seems like you are talking with a bunch of mainly men here. None of what you say is getting to your target audience. So it is just a bash fest.

I made a post in another thread about how women were constantly pitted against each other. I will follow through and not discuss another women boundaries or expectations. I hope she finds the one that gets her flowers.

And you, as a dad of a daughter, I hope you will teach her to have the highest level of expectations so she doesnt bring back one of the guy above home by lack of self esteem.

Well said. That's the most puzzling part for me. As a dad of 2 daughters myself, my only hope is that the world will be a little more fair for them then it has historically been.

I can't relate to any father who wouldn't want that.

Haha that's totally different. That's mens appreciation day for all we do on Valentine's day. Sadly we don't get our own day or month the way women do. Protectors, providers yet no day of acknowledgment for our year round efforts. This needs to change in the equal opportunity world we currently live in. Mens effort need to be recognized. 🤷‍♂️

International Men’s Day is November 19. Same day. Every year.

You’re right. Just googled it. Wow, Who knew. I didn’t for sure. And I’m almost certain that most men had no idea of this. Also, certain it will not be advertised, celebrated or even acknowledged towards most men. LOL.

Probably because it would be up to us men to organize it. Most assuredly Women’s Day recognition is brought forth by the more fairer sex.

Not triggered at all. Happy for all you ladies that can now add Int Womens Day to your colllection of other special days like Birthdays, Anniversaries, Valentines Day, Christmas , and of course mothers day (yes , i know that not every women celebrates all them). But in all seriousness , the original posters point is that today in the west, recognition of women's rights and achievements is non stop. While men put their head down and are expected to grind. Yes, traditionally, women have had more road blocks and barriers to success, but today, women arguably have more opportunities and support systems than men do. At the end of the day, men simply dont need and dont care about recognition. And since we’re generally less confrontational than women, we’re happy to give you another day. 😉🌹

The now much older women until the 1970s got a raw deal. Big changes started in the 1980s. Affirmative action was going on at the same time as the union jobs were shifting out from the private sector. So, the public sector jobs with the great pensions and job security are dominated by women.

This day is equivalent to Valentine's day. Recognition for being female. Then again in this day and age I think we may need genetic testing in this matter.

Interesting as half the population are women, the other half were birthed by one. That alone is worth recognition. But I don’t hate women nor do I feel disgruntled towards anything that gives them applause or recognition.
