Incidentally National (presumably U.S.) condom day is February 14


But International condom day is February 13


Is it because of the International Date Line?

It always baffles me how many guys who hate women are on this forum. Half sad, half concerned. 😟
Yes there are some pretty bitter neanderthals here on Terb, but the majority of us just ignore these dumbass threads. No amount of factual debate or analysis is gonna force them to admit that women were treated like property without a voice or any rights, for 1000s of years.

Yes. True. But that mistreatment ended probably 50 years and definitely 30 years ago. So today, woman not only have equal rights but they have special rights. I’m not against any of that. Just saying to acknowledge current reality.

Women have been oppressed for thousands years, but they only realised it when benevolent western men created air conditioning, comfortable offices and public transport. Not a single woman felt oppressed when alternative to raising kids and caring for family was a coal mine or army service.
Both men and women suffered together for a long time and survived together. But now, thanks to feminists and weak men who appease to them, only women matter. I wonder what kind of privilege a man has that a woman don't have today.

that renowned feminist Alice Cooper co wrote this song.. and the late great Etta James covered it
in my youth and well into my adult hood i saw women as sex objects..i had this attitude "if i cant get to them why bother to get to know them"
my attitudes have evolved since then.....
im not completely there yet, but i respect them and admire them
its sad that so much misinformation is disseminated in this thread, but i take what is typed on the Internet with a grain of salt

I love the music of Etta James and as i read through this thread, now i think of this tune
Cheers

Top 20 wealthiest people in the world and I believe only 3/20 are women.
How does the average man benefits from it? Elon Musk or Bill Gates don't send me any money lol


You already mentioned women were oppressed similar to blacks and others.
Woosh. You completely missed my point. I don't think women were oppressed for 1000 years. It just that started feeling oppressed when comfortable jobs appeared. Coincidence?
Men still have many privileges today too
What privileges exactly? Men work the most dangerous jobs. Men are the majority of workplace injuries and deaths. Men makes a majority of violent crime victims. Most homeless people are men. Most war conflict victims are men. Most suicide victims are men. Most prison inmates are men. Men almost always who pays alimonies and child support. Men almost never get a custody for their kids in divorce. So much privilege my ass.

If women output is exactly the same as men but women paid less, why even hire man? Most hr jobs dominated by women. Do you want to say that women don't hire other women? There is enough evidence that pay gap is not due to gender but due to difference in jobs. Why you're not asking why the top paid only fans models are women?
Pink tax is not oppression lol Don't be rediculuous.

Once again what does all this have to do with International Women's Day? Men have a day too.

Top 20 wealthiest people in the world and I believe only 3/20 are women.

I got no issue saying most (not all) modern feminist women would go back into the kitchen if WW3 happened and there was a call to enlist folks.

You already mentioned women were oppressed similar to blacks and others. Many folks have a day to celebrate or appreciate. A lot of races have a day including whites since many of them were enslaved too.

All I see is hate, envy and jealousy in regards to a day for women in this topic.

Men still have many privileges today too. Or do you have legit examples with references to back it all up?

Perhaps I'm still wrong, but I believe overall women still are paid less than men. Most owners probably don't like the fact they have to deal with stuff if they hire a woman and she's pregnant and off work. And most products/services for women compared to men cost more (ie. "Pink tax"). Their razors, shampoos, etc. cost more compared to men's items and typically they pay more for less.
What often gets lost in the discussion between men and women and wealth is the massive gap in inequality between men. The alpha males pull up the average and have nothing in common with what has been going on with working class men in the last 45 years or so with deindustrailization and the decline of unionization in the private sector.

Most today probably are able to do 50/50 custody.
According to justice Canada most recent data, custody for mothers only were at 55% while father only 7%. Where is your data about 50/50?

So why don't more women apply for these dangerous jobs and even out the play field
Oh, I see who I'am talking to now haha idk, maybe most women physically cannot do that job or that jobs are so dangerous (oild rigs, firefighters, constructions) that they would rather opt out to safer jobs.
Are they not focusing at work?
That's exactly it genius. Next time tell firefighters to stay far away from fire.
Men do have the option to change jobs and make less or work cash jobs and not pay.
Well here you answered your own women get pay less 'opression' point. Maybe just maybe women earn less not because of terrible men. But because women opt out to more safer and easier jobs.

Joint custody seems to be on the rise according to that data. Otherwise it all depends if the father chooses to work and the mom can take care of the child or work part time until the kid is older. Both parents know what they are getting into especially having unprotected sex. And there are many countries around the world where she's not entitled to half. Along with countries where child support isn't as enforced to the father so men don't pay.

And many women are joining oil rigs, construction, etc. I think in a few more years women will make a larger percentage of that workforce. We'll have to see if men are the ones getting more injured than women once that happens.

Women aren't going to buy men's product because most have a "manly" scent and stronger chemicals typically due to how a man's body is. Women products tend to have skin sensitive ingredients. Could women opt to buy a neutral smelling product? Sure but that's not always the case. Most women prefer flower scents and things.

And once again what exactly does all this have to do with a bashing topic regarding International Women's Day? OP is clearly leaning towards Western women which isn't the main focus of International Women's Day. I think most folks know Western women tend to have it easier than Eastern.

Sounds like some men on here just hate on a day where women get recognized and you're upset women aren't going around praising you on a day in return.
I just proved you're wrong by providing the data. Where is the data to support any of your claims? You provided non. Just ”I feel like it".

If women's products have special ingredients for sensitive skin, doesn't it justify higher costs? Once again, you proved your own argument wrong.

And I have never in any of my messages mentioned that I disagree with international women day.

What I was after is I wanted to understand what privilege men have that women doesn't. You failed to mention even one. Moreover, you yourself proved yourself to be wrong. Maybe you should stop being a simp and instead get your facts straight?

No one is "feeling" bashed. We are simply calling out behaviour we are seeing. That is my point.

You think escorts come feminists and then in the same post say that if they feel bashed then it was truth they needed to hear. So you have come on an escort board, dominated by men, to bash escorts with what you call the truth and then get pissy when a) us escorts don't feel bashed at all and b) you get called out for the behaviour you admit to doing.

You are a funny little man but carry on as you will. Just know that people will continue to call it for what it is - a bashing post.
Cool, I wasn’t bashing, and you’re not feeling bashed, so all is well.

I’ve reached the end of my patience for dealing with delusional people. I’m no longer willing to play along with society’s polite charade of not telling people when they’re delusional.

There have been some great points about these days providing opportunity to recognize anyone forgotten about during other days.

Today, May 13, is K9 Veterans Day.


A lot of us would have always thought these dogs receive recognition on

Veterans / Remembrance Day on November 11
National Pet Day (April 11)
National Dog Day (August 26)

But having this additional day makes it more likely that the dog will receive a special meal and chew toy.

The only simps in this topic are men whining about women when the topic title reflects International Women's Day so now it's a we dislike women topic. Could have worded the topic title differently, but bro is butt hurt because he heard something on the radio.

Skin sensitive doesn't mean higher cost when there are men's product for sensitive skin probably at the same price as non ones. So why are some products for women sold at a higher cost for less amount? Why not offer the same amount but at a higher cost if key ingredients cost more.

What privileges do men typically have over women? Google it. Men generally get hired over women because they don't take as many days off along with other factors. Most leaders in organizations, groups, etc. tend to be men and since they are the leaders they generally get paid the highest. Men also tend to have lower risk of sexual harassment. The gender pay gap is a factor, but you think it's based on different job titles which isn't always the case because at some companies the same position being offered to both genders can be given at a different salary based on what the owner thinks.

Men also have the chance to obtain more wealth than women. Some wealthy women only obtain their wealth through inheritance or divorce rather than creating and building a business empire.

You make good points about the criminal system where women tend to get lighter sentences and other key points but the topic is lame af. It's just a cesspool of negativity for a day women have to celebrate.

There's privileges both genders have and perhaps women have more especially in the West, but I'm not the one whining about it in a topic that stands for International Women's Day saying why I have beef with the Day lol. Guys on here would be in an uproar if SPs said why they have beef with a Men's National Day. Once again these Days exist for recognition. Topics like these is what guys like Marc Lepine thrived on.
Dude, you’re the most Lepinesque guy I’ve see on here….

Its unbelievable to me that there are men who can say with a straight face that women are equal to men in today's society.

What privilege do men have that women don't?

How about being 5x less likely to be sexually assaulted?

How about being 5x less likely as women to be killed by a domestic partner?

And thats in the civilized, first world. If we bring the third world into it the numbers are even more bleak:

Female infanticide, genital mutilation, legalized domestic violence, death during childbirth.

I could go on and on, but I already know it won't make a difference with this crowd.

thank your for presenting a bigger picture! ^ 😘🙏

I believe in 2022 (maybe 2023) there was 30 femicides in 30 weeks (all killed by men) in Ontario and IPV/femicide was declared an endemic in 2025, also in Ontario.

Ummmmm… I dont think that OP post will have much merit based on realities. Maybe you dont know but Femicide is the intentional killing of women and girls based on their gender. I am just giving you that definition because I choose to believe you wouldnt have created such an oversimplified post with this reality in mind? 🙄

”Feminists” are heavily involved in keeping young children, men and women (all identities) safe from violence.

I hope for your daughters sake— that you can show her that integrity and accountability exsists in doing the hard work— to research and speak to women (hear the realities/see the devastating statistics). Learn to challenge your own opinions, beliefs and values for her safety and future. That being said, since your OP wasnt really about International Womens Day, it was crystal clear.

Sending OP guy and the others more compassion because I can tell its needed. Posts like that, (especially on here) are very revealing regardless of all these labels being thrown around. ✨

much love, A

😂😂😂😂

but you are playing along. Complaining and bashing on a review board is not "telling people they are delusional".

You didn't successfully fight against the day. You accepted it like everyone else and went along with it. You just bashed it on a male domainated site where no one of consequences would see it. LOL.

But whatever - do you. Feel better about yourself while looking foolish to others. Whatever delusion fits your narrative.

Good Lord. The Day doesn’t do any of the laudatory things you describe or help any of the real issues you identify.

There are no fundraisers for worthy causes benefiting women in need.

It is a marketing day, like every holiday including Christmas.

Large cities set up marches only a few blocks long, lest any of the overfed western men and women keel over.

The march is intended to end right at expensive Restaurant Row and right at 6-7 pm so the participants will eat at those restaurants.

The restaurants do not have a sign identifying specified women’s issues and announcing that the restaurant will operate at a loss today because 25 percent of all proceeds will be donated to specified charities benefitting women.

Nope, it is one more marketing holiday. We now have several every day if you follow the calendar.

Today, March 14, is huge. It is National Pi Day. A person is encouraged to appreciate science while eating a slice of pie.
