So perhaps my topic of conversation will annoy, provoke, enlighten or confuse you- I’m not sure. But when I heard it was international Woman’s Day it got me thinking.
I’m not stupid I know women are from Mars and men are from Penis… sorry -Venus, I know we tend to misunderstand each other, but why is there no international Men’s Day? They usually put up a fair fight.. I can’t help but think the men are missing out on their day of complaining.
Apparently women represent 8% of the CEO (or equivalent) working population out there so it’s no surprise when I heard women are lobbying to raise the bar using this day to tactfully do so. But in my opinion the 8% of women who have already risen to the top have done so because they don’t differentiate themselves from men in the first place.
I think separating ourselves and giving ourselves a special day to exist makes us as a gender appear weaker.
I don’t care if you’re a man, woman or alien if I am better at my job than what you are I will prove it, it sucks that I may have to try a little harder than others… but in the end, if I’m good enough at what I do I will get there.
My opinion will be hated by a lot of people but in saying that I am practicing writing creatively. I hope you enjoyed it and it provoked some kind of opinion…
Day 3 going good- off to the gym then a rally for women’s rights.

There are some fairly uneducated comments in here. Maybe you should do a little more research about your subjects before jumping on and writing the first thing that pops into your head.
