I picked the wrong time to quit drinking. As if it isn't bad enough that so many men ask on international women's day,
"when is international men's day?" "19th of November"
"what year?"
"every year"
But that instead of having actual proper legitimate biological women to talk about what being a woman is, they pick an OBVIOUSLY male manly man with a delusion to speak over women about women's experiences when they know the square root of eff all about it, it literally makes me want to scream over the actual insanity of it all.
I'm boycotting it this year. Can't be arsed with getting myself wound up again, being cross that out of the whole of the female population they can never find anyone that's a better woman than a man, to help celebrate the one fucking day of the year that should be about us.
"Sara will be chatting about a variety of topics, in particular those that affect transgender women in terms of inclusion." It's International Women's Day, ladies, to celebrate you we've organized a lecture on how you can more effectively centre men.
All the work/industry events I see advertised for IWD talk about 'gender equality' and I just know that is obfuscation to hide that these organisations don't think women are people just an "identity". The word gender, like the words trans is just used to hide the truth now.
I fully expected International Women's Day to intruded upon by anyone claiming to be women. Why not? They have forced themselves into every other space that was intended for women. No, we don't get a single fucking day in the year where women's experiences, opinions, achievements, etc., can be focused on, celebrated and remembered or whatever.
Get your own day, have it all, do what the fuck you want with it. Add it to International Transgender Day of Visibility and any others in the calendar.
There's a "contact the organiser" option on Eventbrite so feel free to write in everyone. I've suggested an Al Jolson tribute for Black History month to keep the theme going....
A major Health Service provider has decided to use the day to give male 'allies' a nice certificate to thank them for not being douches in the past 5 years. The idea came from a woman. It's a fetching farce.
I'm trying to think what this phenomena is - like emperor's new clothes beer goggles but making everyone else wear whiskey whisky beer vodka goggles and a hazmat suit. And a bag over head and ear plugs so we are deluded in thinking this is a sylphlike young woman.
When they dress and larp age appropriately with all their 'older woman's sage advice on life' to dispense to us it's not more reassuring than the ones who drop thirty years from their age and dressed as sexualised teens.
Ok that man is a character straight out of Father Ted. I mean look at him. 'Sara'? We are living in one big mockumentary.
*In the time it took to not post then post this comment, I spiralled out of control and
Oh come on now that's surely a character from Father Ted's League of Gentlemen? 'Sara'? Yeah right. Life is now one weird endless mockumentary I feel trapped in against my will. I need Dougal to ask the question - and the obvious answer this must also be a bet that got way out of hand.

Pffft.
Oh ffs. I looked at his face and actually said that Oh ffs out loud. I am so sick of this absolute rubbish.
International Women's Day in Canada is a joke. An extra special day to remind women that, as a sex class, they have been obliterated.

Some fucking jaw too
Ah now I remember why there were so many Irish jokes!!!
A sobbing Ms Murphy approaches Fr O'Grady after mass.
He says: "So what's bothering you?"
She replies: "Oh, Father, I've terrible news. My husband passed away last night."
The priest says: "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Did he have any last requests?"
"Certainly father," she replied. "He said: "Please Mary, put down that damn gun."
Christ. As if they haven’t just had a whole month of speaking over the LGB as if it’s all about the TQ+, they hog the women's month as theirs as well.
