My boyfriend is big on dates and celebrations - he makes a huge effort for my b’day, christmas etc and also when I have personal wins like passing exams, getting promoted etc. If dates fall mid week he wants to celebrate twice - the weekend before and after.
I’m a lot more chill and don’t care about traditional celebrations (such as christmas, mother’s day etc) but I celebrate people’s b’day if it is important to them.
So yesterday as he was planning a 2nd celebration for my b’day lol and I was trying to plan his b’day later on in the year, I said:
’oh, yesterday was women’s day and you didn’t text me about it’
(to be clear he texted me other things)
and I was not complaining at all as I don’t care for it, just thought amusing he missed one opportunity to celebrate
He said that he didn’t understand women’s day and that at work there were speeches by women talking women as whole up but he knows that on a daily basis, these women giving the speeches are horrible to other women at work and they treat men better and differently.
Luckly for me, the women at my work are all amazing, maybe because they dominate the top? Also we had nothing for women’s day at work, nobody cared.
Myself only realised it was women’s day because at the hairdresser they were all wearing the same colour and decorated the place for the occasion.
How do you feel about women’s day?
and
Should we have men’s day too?
