International Women's Day is a Socialist holiday, invented by get this, American Socialists! May Day was started by American Socialists too. How many people immediately think East Bloc at the mere mention of those days"

Heh, for some reason, I think of the Northeastern U.S.A. when I hear the names of those days.

You know, Steelworker Unions, Jimmy Hoffa... That sort of thing.

Don't worry, June is International Men's month!

So I say, let the women have their day. We get a month! :D


(PS I am all for feminist, in the sense that women will compete and succeed at the same standard of man, not by special standard for women.)

Eh to Socialism, but YAY Women!

Women are great.

Here's to their equality, slowly being realized by the stupid of the world.

Wells since socialism (including anarchism and communism) were among the major movements calling for equal rights for women, it's a logical leap for me.

I already did a thread on this. I concluded that the best way to celebrate women's day is by watching porn. No-one disagreed.

While I don't disagree with that, I've gotta tell ya...

I'm not in the mood right now.

I'm very proud - I no longer burn rice in the microwave.

Burnt Rice is a bitch to clean up. I fucking *hate* it when those grains get stuck on the ceiling of the microwave...

It's enough to drive one insane...

My flatmate used to set the smoke alarm off early in the mornings. *grumbles*
And she would do this while making TOAST! TOAST! Put in slot. CHECK SETTINGS, depress lever. If you smell burning, pop immediately... And burning spaghetti. Don't ask...
