Why Women's Day?
International Women's Day, in 2021, as every year is celebrated on March 8, but this year fell as it could not be better, more precisely, on a Monday. Symbolically speaking, Monday being the first day of the week, it is the beginning for everything: on Monday I start learning, on Monday I start exercising, on Monday I start losing weight, practically everything starts on Monday.
Life for each of us started from the mother's womb, from the woman's womb, the beginning of each of us, at least until now, we had it in the woman's womb, without them, we would not have existed. Of course, we as men are equally important in conception, but we cannot realize how a woman feels when the child is formed, grows up, hits the mother's womb and is then brought into this world. At the beginning we are connected through the physical oblique cord, later we are connected through the spiritual one.
Unfortunately, there are “woman’s” who are far too selfish and negative, who become mothers and leave deep traces, sometimes unforgivable in the innocent soul of the child.
However, for each of us, the lucky ones, the mother is much more special and has a special place in our heart and soul, so it is worth celebrating it at least once a year.
Why women's day? Because every woman is a potential mother, both the lucky ones who are blessed with the gift of bringing a child into this world, and the less fortunate ones who want but cannot have a baby. Both categories of women, for me, are mothers because they carry in their souls the same love ready to be given.
Happy birthday to all mothers, potential mothers but also to those with a motherly spirit, happy birthday woman!

Uh oh you are in trouble with the woke police now. Suggest you turn yourself in for cancellation.
Probably to call attention to the fact that the status quo is "Man's Day" every day all year long except(?) "Woman's Day". A symbolic form a protest to prick the cultural conscience (and maybe even rattle some political cages around the globe) ... like "Black History Month" in the US (which is manifestly white history month every day).
It is more than it first appears.

So much more than being a mother or a father.
Nah, reducing humanity to mindless baby makers seems about accurate. All the rest is just a means to that end. :razz:
Is that a French tongue ? :cool:
Allons-y !

Speaking of French kisses. My six year old daughter was saying "ewww" when my wife and I kissed a few days ago.
So I ask "do you think this is disgusting?".
"Yes!!"
"You'll be happy to know then that we sometimes kiss and also use our tongues."
Daughter : :gasp: "Wait... What?"
Ah, dinner table talks. Gotta love them.
Bien sur :cool:
You never know where they might lead.

Sounds like a good title for an exposé long overdue.
Excellent! A word to the wise though...the world is not what it seems. Anyone who spends 5 minutes in a street in New York knows that. :lol:
NOT a woman but also NOT in New York

Yet White History month and Man's day aren't officially recognized days while the others are. You sound like someone that is simply angry at the world for spawning you in a environment where there happen to more people that have a different skin color than you. Considering that the US is mostly white, it is no surprise that most of the people recognized will be white. The same goes in China and Africa - the majority race will be the one that is recognized the most. It seems to me that you are trying to impose minority rule of the majority. Why do I get the feeling that if the roles were reversed and blacks were the predominant race in the US, that we would never get a White History month, or that if women ruled the world, would they allow a Man's Day?
The appeal of these labels for the (sadly misguided) individual is that they are given a false, external source of self (ego), because they are yet unable to reach their true, unique identity, which cannot be defined through such generalizations.
Thus, the embrace of external sources of self is ultimately a form of rejection of the self, and only leads to anger, resentment, projection, etc.
I meant to reply to this. You make good points.
Re: a White History Month, I found an interesting article where a sociologist claims it would be ridiculous to have one but later agrees it might be worthwhile:

This is based on fear of losing power and control.
Having a Whiteness Day could inform rather than create further division.

I think you may have mixed up International Women’s Day with Mother’s Day.
Being a woman is not just about being a mother. In celebrating women, we also celebrate those women who choose NOT to be mothers, because they, too are women, and worth celebrating for everything they bring to the table.
Women do not exist in the world as a vessel of selfless love to be given to humanity - sorry to burst your bubble.

STFD and stop projecting.
Prego :sparkle:
But I am not convinced that GB has stolen the crown from us in the Stupidity Bowl game. Stay tuned.
That wasn't what I asked. I was asking a hypothetical question. If you aren't going to pay attention to what I actually said and respond to what I actually said, then don't bother responding at all. These racist tactics are tiresome. If women or blacks were the ones in power, would we have White History month?
Quoting Amity
Again, if blacks were in power and whites started celebrating White History, would the blacks feel like their power is threatenend?
The point of my post was that if it is good or bad for one group to do, then it good or bad for all groups to do. Blacks are human beings just like whites, and any moral obligations that one group is beholden to, the other group should be as well. Not having the same moral expectations of one group that you have of the other is racist.
It's strange to say that everyday the US had a black president, it is still White History month every day. We don't have White History books. The history books in schools include the contributions from blacks and whites. World History books are a history of all peoples. So I am failing to see where White History is being celebrated and taught in our schools. There is no official part of our society that is designated as only white, yet plenty of places designated as only black. So your argument just doesn't hold any water when you actually try to reconcile what you said with what we observe.
You're the biggest racist on these forums, 180.
Agree that you were asking a hypothetical question.
My response was neither tactical or racist, any careful reader would see that.
And this response will be short and the last on this subject.
There are all kinds of 'special' days and months held globally.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_month-long_observances
They are used by various governments, groups and organizations to raise awareness of an issue, commemorate a group or event, or celebrate.
To answer your hypothetical:
I don't see any reason why there couldn't be a 'White History Month' no matter what kind of human or E.T. is in charge. Although a Pastafarian would probably just call it 'Holiday' and celebrate any old how... :party:

It's odd though, how popular the "argument" form is. A sort of very loud and insistent variety of "he who smelt it dealt it", whereby antiracists become racists, and fascists become defenders of free speech. But a philosophy forum and the mainstream media dominated by kindergarten nonsense is a rather desperate state of affairs, and there doesn't seem to be anything much to be done.
