I’ll come right to the point and say that when I first realized that it was International Women’s Day, something deep inside told me that it was only right to at least try to observe it. So I looked online to see what I as a man could do to celebrate this pro-feminist holiday and found at least two things that I could do if nothing else. One of which was to watch something with a strong female lead and so I attempted to watch and/or hear a few things that were pro-girl power, but as usual, my mind went off the rails with the way that I thought, I kept on thinking of things that made me feel embarrassed and almost crossed the line into sexist territory a few times. It did also make me feel that it doesn’t really seem fair for the media to enforce the idea of Girl power through the practice of making men look like idiots, I mean isn’t that just sexism from the opposing side, women believing that men are lesser than they are in place of men thinking that women are the weaker gender? Both sound pretty unfair in the grand scheme of things. Anyways another thing that I could try to observe International Women’s Day is appreciated the women in my own life, which at the moment I believe are my mother, my grandmother and my older sister. Although, to be perfectly honest about the whole thing, the problem with this is that whenever I try to think about how much I care about my mother and sister, I wind up remembering all of the times that we didn’t get along and when they said and/or did something to me that was so bad and hurtful that I could never forget about them.

Any thoughts about all of this?
