Great, another stupid unnecessary "honorary" day for the people to ignore.

Lol, pretty much. What am I supposed to do, yell "I have a cooter, hear me roar! And prostrate at my feet what you're at it"?
Just because I have a vagina and boobs doesn't mean I need a holiday for feigned groveling purposes, that's just vapid at best. I don't see the need for a holiday to reaffirm my role as a parent (Mother's Day) so it makes equally little sense to have one to reaffirm my genitals, too.

If anything, all the invented holidays do is give us a good look at how empty we are -- we have to try to fill ourselves with shallow pats on the back days to distract from how crappy we feel. Distractions aren't solutions.

I’m sorry you have such a negative attitude about the role women play in this world. I see nothing wrong with honouring women for their contributions to society and their familes and friends on a whole.

It's so sad seeing all the negativity in this thread. It's so sad that so many people can find nothing to celebrate or appreciate the women in their life. I can't believe it's because they have never known good women who made/make the world a better place in their own way.

I don't get it. Everything is what we make of it. Why turn a positive into a negative?

Thank you for a great thread. It is appreciated by some of us!

I would like to add my "thanks for the thread" as well - there were some lovely posts in it!

Though there are only a couple hours left to the day as I write this, it's also my 55th birthday, so I would like to contribute the following favorite song and dedicate it -

- to all those who've had a rough journey on the road from girl to woman...

You know, no matter how often 'life' reminds me of the woman I've become - on the inside I still feel like the girl I used to be...



Oh gosh, I'm sorry -

It was supposed to be "This One's For The Girls" by Martina McBride -

- but it won't link for me
