International Women's Day

On this uneventful International Women 's Day (which is also Shrove Tuesday, but don't be guilty of general ignorance in assuming that they are always on the same day!) I find myself more disappointed than not by the attitude of some women.

For example, those who I have heard mention this day seem to be mistaken in what it stands for and what it means to them. I have heard and read comments that refer to women as being superior and that they should always receive postively unfair regard and treatment, which I find could be insulting to everyone, both men and women.

From my point of view, this day is supposed to represent and remind people the importance of equality and freedom of choice. The obvious examples of this are the right to vote, equal pay, equal opportunities, etc. If people start talking about how one sex is greater than the other, then this equality (and everything this day stands for) is completely undermined.

The most significant element of today has been the females that I live, work and generally interact with not mentioning or even regarding this day, this International Women's Day. It's those women that I choose to admire today: those who almost shrug when you mention this day and simply carry on with their lives, albeit at work, at home, at leisure, wherever, whenever.

It seems that it's the latter women I mention that this day is meant for, rather than the aforementioned ones.
