International Women's Day

Postby Kalaspia-Shimarata » Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:40 am

What don you think about International Womens Day. I personally refuse to accept it or even acknowlage it until the International men's day!
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Why? Historically and currently women are far more oppressed for their gender than men.
Proud Scalawag and Statist!

Please don't confuse my country for my politics; my country is being run as a parody, my posts aren't.

At least, in my experience at least.

So, are we held accountable for what our forefathers have done? Are we fighting for equal rights or rights for women? Should the women of today be compensated for the wrongs their gender has suffered in the past?

^^This^^ And no, the past is the past. We don't want women to become the dominate gender to the point where men get no righs, like the women had none so then men get no rights whilst women get all the rights and then we start giving men rights to the point where men get all the rights then women. Let's stop the circle before it starts! It's already starting!

However, I don't think it's such a big deal that they get a day and we don't. It's just a day after all. I will defend my logic with thought that will cause much eyerolling in the feminist department: It's a day. Suck it up and be a man about it.

The irony being that you did acknowledge it by creating this thread.

Regarding the International Men's Day, if you feel it's justified, nothing stops you from putting in the effort to create and promote it. These things don't just fart themselves into existence, you know.

Oh, just stop. You really expect me to believe that your quality of life is shite because there's an "International Women's Day" and not the same thing for men? Don't you have anything better to do, Kala? And do you hate your mother that much that you would deny her one damned day? Come on. :roll:

There is a legitimate argument to be made here. Not one I agree with, but no less valid.
However, the OP isn't making one. He's resorting to childlike whinging and insane troll logic. No reasoned debate to be had here.

Moreover, the OPs argument is wrong. Because there already is international men day. Check out the wikipedia.

There's a lot of overlap between the two
Should the women of today be compensated for the wrongs their gender has suffered in the past?

Did anyone say they should be?

After 107 years of male PMs, now having a female PM means that men are oppressed. Obviously.
