I think it’s stupid. I don’t need an international day. Right now, boys and men in America are being marginalized and asked not to be themselves. The only way to have a loving, wonderful society is to allow both men and women their own natures.

I grew up during women’s lib. I grew up thinking I could do anything I wanted. I think it’s almost funny that any woman in America thinks in 2019 that men hold them back. I also do not think that in 2019 white people hold black people back, or straights hold gays back. I don’t see the need to fuss over it.

I do see the need to fight for marginalized groups in other parts of the world, and safety for children and helpless people (seniors and special needs), and to stop abuse of underlings and youth by powerful people. I’m glad overall for the #metoo movement. People who have been truly abused need to speak up to keep future girls safe. I don’t want my daughter abused like I was.

It is ok to be male. It’s not toxic. It’s good, and powerful. It’s ok to be female. And it’s ok to be male or female and not be traditional, too. It’s all ok; there is room for us all. You cannot say that it is wonderful for a lesbian to be able to be as butch as the toughest rodeo rider, and not allow men the very same privilege. If you allow transgenders to be super made up, frilly, and feminine, then you must allow women the same right.

Wearing hats representing genitals was the first clue these people are seriously deficient in reason. The second clue was that the leader wears a hijab and supports sharia law — because women have so many more rights in the Moslem world than Trump’s Handmaid Tale America...

International Women’s Day is a Communist holiday dating back to Lenin.

sad to see corporate America pushing it at every turn, sometimes hightlighting Communist icons.

The article presumes women should think alike. I am an individual. I do not need to wear a pink hat. I have been in the work force nearly 40 years. Women can go as far as they want and like any individual limited by personal choices.

They would criticize me more,” she says. “Even if I’d win a race, they would say, ‘Why did you do this? “

That’s what guys do. They do it to other guys. What, SHE is PERFECT?
