If we have a Women's Day, where's Men's Day? I had messages flowing in since morning wishing me a very Happy Women's Day. With all due respect and thanks, I still want to question the gesture, this particular 'Women's Day' and the entire hoo haa that's surrounding it.
To all those who think I'm being radical and probably think I'm going to say the cliche, 'Aren't we awesome every other day?' I'm not.
I just want to ask why is there an absence of 'Men's Day?' Why do women find the need to have a special day to celebrate their womanhood? Are we more of a woman today? Is it safer, better, nicer to be a woman today? Why should it be the 8th of March where the newspapers be almost entirely pink and decide to mention the things women have achieved? Is there no Men's Day because they don't need one? Is it because we live in a patriarchal society, because everyday is a man's day? Aaarghhh!
I will celebrate Women's day the day there is a Men's day.
I also want a 'We're All Human' day.
I'm a girl and I absolutely love being one every waking day.
I admit to being a feminist, a liberal feminist.
