moronMen can get breast cancer but women can't get prostate cancer. #Feminism2017
Turns out there actually is a Men's day - November 19th from memory. I'd never heard of it until the past few days.
I read that earlier and a lot of it I empathised with but some of it seemed a bit too self-pitying.
Why can't everyone unite in more donations and research being directed toward bowel cancer?
The media headline language has gotten a bit out of control these last five years. Everything has to be so dramatic and big.When did words like "refute" become "destroy"?
Sah masculine.
Vaguely tangential...
On the weekend, I heard a story about a particular work do on International Womens Day.
The boss stood up and said a few words. His praise for women included "they do a lot for us blokes" and similar jaw-dropping comments.
Then at the end he wanted a photo of all the workers. "Men stand behind and girls go in front on your knees."
One lady simply refused to get in the photo. He then stood over her shouting at her "to get in the bloody photo".
Such progress.
Firstly, it's stupid that he said 'they do a lot for us blokes'. The *? Don't both genders do a lot for each other?Vaguely tangential...

Probably that using the word blokes makes you sound stupid.whats wrong with that bit?
i am ignorant

Exactly.Firstly, it's stupid that he said 'they do a lot for us blokes'. The ****? Don't both genders do a lot for each other?
Secondly, why would he tell them to get on their knees? Even if it's accidental, it's stupid and easy to avoid saying something like that.
The sooner we get rid of this 'blokey' type of mentality the better. It's one thing that I love about feminism - removing gender roles and the idea that men should be something and women another.Exactly.
And that wasn't the only comment. It was all "women are good, helping men get on with the real work" type stuff. Atrocious - apparently everyone was just stunned.
The nutter independent that opposed it and made the arguments as described in that article was a footy umpire in the Darwin footy comp till recently.And welcome NT to 2017. Fantastic to see abortion decriminalised, and women in NT have access to control their own bodies.
Even though the bigots tried every scare campaign and pathetic story to try to sway logical, rational people.. they failed.

Agree entirely.
Only problem is women are free to shed their old dated gender roles (which is excellent) while men are still expected to keep theirs. Maybe it is just human nature or maybe society will adapt. I don't know.
And to call out anyone of either gender that acts like it's still 1950, expecting men to pay for everything, or expecting women to clean for you etc.What us blokes need to do is stop giving s**t to other blokes that don't follow those roles, and be comfortable with ourselves if we aren't in those roles.
Easier said than done I suppose.
