In a Forum dominated by women, it is good to remember and celebrate men too!

Hasn't everyday for a couple of million years been "International Men's Days"?
 

I motion to remove observance of "International Men's Day" in favor of a new celebration:

Intergalactic "Multi-Function Knife & Tool Day."

Nah, men have a good long crack of the whip and look at where we are. I'm up for equality and enjoying how much improvement we'll see.

We, the humans, are a bunch of smurfs, so no matter what group is in charge we'll smurf it all up...

Not suggesting women should be in charge, just equal. It would be the first step towards a better future I think.

I didn't think you suggested it. And of course, the more equal everyone is, the better. In this way the bigger smurfs kind of smooth out. But I am still not too optimistic about our future.

With regards to a special Man Appreciation Day I'm kind of ambivalent.  There seems to be a day to celebrate pretty much everything else, so why not? 

Intergalactic "Multi-Function Knife & Tool Day" is pretty well every day, at least for most of us here I would imagine.

With regards to equality, the only situation I can think of where having a smurf is an advantage is in a peeing for distance contest, non-mechanical division.  Other than that, I am pretty certain we are all on more or less even footing.

Smashie posted some interesting statistics, but I am guessing that is more of a societal thing than a biological thing, at least for the most part.  And, I for one am largely against societies, at least societies outside of this one where people are just people and no one gets bent out of shape over trivial things like what bathroom to use.  Everybody poops.....
