Just because we, as white males, aren't represented during International Women's Day doesn't mean it's pointless. Representation is important to show those of less privileged (I know that term will cause some to freak out) labels that they have access to certain goals as well. I'm sure for some this comes off as awful SJW woke talk, but it's real. Just because a white male doesn't see the point doesn't mean there is no point. It's just looking at something through someone else's shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS How would you like me to describe folks that approve of and agree with all (95%+) of what Trump does and did? But your response is no real response. It's a snarky typical Steve comment designed to take us off track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just looking at something through someone else's shoes. I've had this talk with a couple of my daughter-in-laws. They don't understand why I have issues with this type of stuff....so they can't answer why there isn't a International Man's Day. While I don't believe we need an International Man's Day, I think it's odd there isn't one, given there's days designated for lots of things. Maybe we just get Saturday & Sunday during football season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it is all about representation. White males clearly do not lack representation, so it would be needless to create a day celebrating them. I think it is important to understand this, and sympathize with others, even if it isn't your own experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope people believe that others should be judged on their merits and contributions. People who fall short are usually the ones who think those things should be artificially inflated.
