It's International Women's Day!

Go To

Today is the day we celebrate the achievements of the "hidden gender", the 49.99999... % of the world (or the 52% in Europe, and North America; the 48% in Asia, and the 49% in S America).

It is said that a world run by women would be fairer, better, and more progressive than the one we have currently, but I hope to see within my lifetime that women are finally as equal as men are. Legal equality is nothing compared to social equality, and society (even in the west) still sees women as being lesser than men. For a woman to suceed, they need to be "more like men". But it seems that "women being women" is a better and complementary approach to "men being men".

But nonetheless, today is the day to celebrate womankind.

So, I guess, thanks ladies.

People in power will always mostly be selfish and corrupt. The gender doesn't matter here. XD

Exactly: Australia has a lady prime minister, and we're still getting tax-tentacles and price-hike-tentacles in every orifice.    EVERY ORIFICE.   

But happy International Women's Day, ladies. You're all, for the most part, pretty rad.

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.

It's already passed in some parts of Australia.

But happy International Women's Day to the rest of the world. And WA. ;D

yeah, it's been over for nearly 2 hours now. But it's still the 8th in some parts of the world, so it's technically still on.

So would it be in bad taste to browse lesbian porn after work to celebrate? tongue

Which is why I said arguably. :3

I don' think it's particularly bad taste at all. But I can see a lot of rather uptight folks taking issue with it.

Indeed, congratulations to all ladies.

I have celebrated by only using avatars with female character and playing Dragon Quest 3 with a female-only team.

I do that all the time anyway. Given the option I always play as female characters.
