I had no clue. I didn't hear one person mention it. Which is strange because my Statistics teacher normally tells us random stuff about that and then goes off onto some tangent about something.

Women's day!?

So much for equality! I swear, white males are the only group of people without their own special day or without some law protecting them from jokes. Pretty soon we will be the minority group under attack!

But meh. I seriously didn't know there was a woman's day.

To be honest, I've never heard of any white male jokes, which explains the lack of a law protecting them from it... however laws banning things like blonde jokes are kinda silly anyway.

I think that banning any joke about any race/gender/religion/group of people is stupid. I can understand certain jokes being plain hurtful, but most are in good lighthearted fun and for people to take offense to them is stupid.

For example, any group of people who take offense to South Park's racial/religious/genderous(?) jokes need to get a sense of humour.

The only reason I'd realized what that day was was because it was printed in my calendar that's on my wall. Interestingly enough this calendar also has "Ostara (Pagan/wiccan)" and the Vernal Equinox printed for tomorrow's holidays along with "Purim (Jewish)" and "Good Friday (Christian)" for Friday and "Holi (Hindu)" for Saturday, followed by, of course, Easter on Sunday. Pretty neat calendar.

I used to go to the Women's Day celebrations Long Beach had that weekend, but then it turned into a raging lesbian event of "We don't need men! Fucking nazis!" over the arts, music, dance and empowerment and I stopped going.

It's one thing to go, "Yay, women! We're strong and willing to work side-by-side with men and fight to the finish with our brothers and sisters!" but it's a completely different concept when it morphs into "All men are nothing but sperm donors and we should work for a future where they'll be herded underground and only used for food and semen when we want to reproduce!!"

Anyway...

Rogue, I want your calender. I can never find one that lists Wiccan holidays.

But yeah, the joke thing is dumb and so is the raging feminism. Girl power is nice and all that but the fem-nazi shit just doesn't fly with me.

Yep, Ryan, I've actually heard arguments about men being the next renewable food source and such. It's crazy, I know, but that's some feminazis for you.

And Elara, I just picked it up for $3 at Borders (when you buy your calendars in January they're usually knocked way back from the $12 full price). I think it's called "Haunted Places Around the World."

I have a Heroes calendar hanging in one of my bathrooms that I rarely reference (as it's hanging in the bathroom that doesn't get used as often), but it only lists Christian, Jewish and Muslim holidays. I actually was amazed about the Muslim holy days being listed. The world's really changed from just listing Christmas, Easter and Cinco de Mayo on the calendar.

Jeez... I knew that in the past women were always seen as under the man, but those thoughts of putting the woman so far over the man is outrageous.
