Greetings Yesterday was womens day, and thousands and thousands of feminists marked the day, having rallies and speeches and protests working for equal rights between women and men, witch i think is good, and many working on petty little things, or even that men should be treated worse than women, witch is not so good. The point is, that for many, the day became a bitching session. But one woman was on TV that i saw yesterday and spoke about housewives, how being a housewife have almost become an insult. That for a woman to embrace traditional female values and staying home tending house and children is somehow bad. And that more than ever on women's day housewives are discriminated against. But is not women's day supposed to be about women. i mean it is not named feminist day or anti male day, it is women's day. Now i am all for choice, women should have the option to be career women, and work in the police and wherever they want to work and should have equal pay for equal work as the men, but should not also the traditional woman get the spotlight during a day that is supposed to celebrate woman. Is it not time that sociality say that it is ok for a woman to have a career and be equal to men in society, bring in the dough for the family, but it is also ok for a woman to be a wife and a mother i mean should not all choices for women be valid, even the ones that are more traditional. i think women's day need to be less of a bitch session, and more of a celebration of women. Also when one is going to bitch, why not bitch about things that really matter like the fact that there are allot more research being done on treatment for what ails men, than what ails women and things like that, not just general bitching on ow horrible men are and how gruesome it is that we have porn and skinny models in the world. So did any of you mark women's day yesterday? Celebrating what women is in the Gorean lifestyle. Companions and even slaves. i think such roles for women need to be celebrated to, not just the roles of lawyer and so on. May i wish you all well
