International women's day? I wonder how the various oppressive regimes generally located around the Middle East and Africa, deal with this day?

 

The mayor of a town in chile has organised a raffle to celebrate. Top prize a washing machine. I kid you not :lol:

I am all for equality so I think we need an International Sexist Day!

 

Objectives:

- to help sexists stand in solidarity with other sexists

- to educate anti sexists so they know what it feels like to be sexist

- to empower sexists, rather than feel downtrodden by the current mass of media criticism

 

Mission: to live in a world where sexists are free to express their views without discrimination.

Eastern Europe and South America are hardly picnic spots.

 

8th March as International Women's Day originated in Eastern Europe. To be precise, in the Soviet Union after the revolution. It is a national holiday in this part of the world (well, it would be if it weren't for the fact it falls on a Sunday this year).

Great - thread about International Women's Day reduced to posts demeaning women to just objects of sexual desire or servants to men. Well done everyone, you've just proven the point.

 

Rubbish, where has anyone said their servants to men .

 

What on earth is wrong with being an object of sexual desire anyway ? I'd be flattered if any bird considered me like that .

Couldn't let this go without a :lol:, good work!

 

Sometimes maybe women should be allowed away from the housework to add humour to the internet after all ...

Nothing wrong with equal rights surely?

 

Of course there are some men's issues, but there are far more women's issues and so that is where most effort must reside as the problems are more numerous and relatively worse. Every day is a day where men have the overwhelming concentration of power, something women aren't afforded. Also worth point out that men's issues are generally a product of gender norms and male dominance. So access to children for example is routed in ideas that women's primary responsibility in life is to reproduce and bring up children.

But, I thought women weren't funny?! Oh dear, this really is all too confusing for my pretty little head. I need to go relax and do some ironing.

Well when it comes down to it, the primary function of all females from all is to give birth in order to continue the species.

 

Still wondering where those posts are Andy.

Tbf they are dreadful on Mock the Week. Not sure why as know a fair few with cracking cynical sense of humour so wouldn't say was a general gender thing.

And South Africa (in Africa) has one of the most liberal constitutions in the world. My Point was merely that saying that oppressive regimes are isolated to two geographical locations is a load of crap.

Primary function. Hmm. Now I really know what we're dealing with. Have babies, and take abuse from mobs shouting at you to get your tits out. All makes a lot of sense now.

 

Happy International Women's Day everyone!

At its most basic, that's the function of females across all species just as in the majority of cases it's is the males job to fertilise them. First function of a species is to survive and without those two basic things the species would die.

Maybe not for much longer.

 

From the New York Times:

 

"Recently, the geneticist J. Craig Venter showed that the entire genetic material of an organism can be synthesized by a machine and then put into what he called an “artificial cell.” This was actually a bit of press-release hyperbole: Mr. Venter started with a fully functional cell, then swapped out its DNA. In doing so, he unwittingly demonstrated that the female component of sexual reproduction, the egg cell, cannot be manufactured, but the male can."

OK so everyone stops having children then and the human race would cease to exist. Same with any animal. Just because we have intelligence and awareness beyond that of other animals doesn't change that basic fact. Unless you want to tell me differently?

All that shows is that you may not need the bloke. Still need the woman to have children though...

Doesn't look like I'm going to need you anymore to save the world, Bearsy!

 

You could maybe suggest why the first priority of all animals isn't to ensure the survival of future generations? Or do what you are currently doing which is the equivalent of running away. Genuinely interested in why you think that is wrong.
