Ooh ooh! Do I get to start it?

Wine and cake all round. And a celebratory burst on the patriarchy-blasting cannon!

Old pub here

Large gin with a side of gin please.

After seeing yet another thread on a favourite site unfold into a SJ back patting party, discussing how 'problematic' and 'gross' Rad Fems are etc I've just had enough of the world right now.

It's depressing how many women are among those asking the question. Women who clearly feel that feminism is worth arguing against.

Have a look at Richard Herring on Twitter. Every IWD he replies to all the 'when's International Men's Day then?' tweets: 'November 19th'

Hope you feel better soon Barefoot

BarefootAcrossHotLegoPieces · 08/03/2016 08:33

Can't breathe properly today. Bah!

PalmerViolet · 08/03/2016 08:00

Happy IWD women.

I have just had my first, what about international men's day then, eh? Eh?

So I feel that everything is as it should be today. Grin

There are events at work but I'm working from home today. Also am very cynical about it. You can shout about IWD but if you thwart women in every way you can shout all you like but you can fuck off as far as I am concerned. Put your money where your mouth is.

Everyday is International Women's Day for me.

MsMermaid · 08/03/2016 07:30

We don't officially do anything for IWD, but I think I shall be mentioning inspirational women in every lesson. I'm not quite sure how to link them to the maths I'm supposed to be teaching, but I'll shoehorn it in somehow.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 08/03/2016 07:23

I've had a work email about IWD too but I'm not going because I have too much work to do.

OublietteBravo · 07/03/2016 22:04

There are a few seminars at work tomorrow linked to international women's day. Only trouble is 75% of them are being given by men Hmm (and I'm on unpaid leave this week anyhow).

Thelilywhite · 07/03/2016 19:59

Just popped in for a pint of guiness and to ask if anyone is doing anything interesting for international women's day tomorrow? I will be wearing my 'crush the patriarchy' tshirt to work. That'll tell em!

NeverEverAnythingEver · 07/03/2016 10:28

That has passed me by... Confused

WomanWithAltitude · 06/03/2016 17:39

I saw a TV advert and thought it was good too.

I abandoned the thread around p15 - was surprised to see how it had turned out.

Fact.

Further to the AIBU thread (now full) on the Direspect NoBody campaign, I've just heard two radio ads, both female teenage voices. In the first, one was cautioning the other against sending a picture to her boyfriend. The other was a girl reacting to her friend saying she wasn't allowed to speak to her and that her boyfriend checked her phone.

Both were done as natural conversations and I thought they were good.

Saw some idiot online trying to claim Pistorius being forced to face the consequences of murder was somehow against Disability Rights. The mental gymnastics these apologists for male violence go through are almost impressive.

WomanWithAltitude · 04/03/2016 08:00

Yes, good. I hope her family can take comfort from his conviction.

Oscar Pistorious denied leave to appeal

I think it was the case he assumed I was part of the admin team. Although if I was part of the team I still wouldn't be happy with him trying to grab my agenda!
