If you're an American woman, you've probably never heard of it either because it's a global celebration of female empowerment that's of little relevance to us. The United States whipped sexism's ass years ago and so we don't need a special day to highlight the work that still needs to be done in achieving equality. Because we are completely equal to men in all aspects of our lives. Like, last night, I totally had a threesome with two hot guys and I know y'all think that makes me a... wait, what's the word for a female stud? Oh, yeah, "slut."
Oh, no, it's okay, I'm kidding. Sigh of relief, right? I'm actually a respectable married woman and haven't had sex in months because, you know, once the ring is on the finger... but I've got an amazing collection of shoes and I practically have an orgasm each time I slip on that $600 pair of Christian Louboutins. So, who needs my husband? Well, until it's time for him to sire the children I'll use to screw him over in the inevitable divorce! You know how us women are. It's all shoes and chocolate and stealing sperm and shiny things and emasculation and ACK! ACK! ACK!
I've never understood the Andrea Dworkin school of thought or that "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" nonsense, philosophies that both exist to justify shitty behavior based on allegedly unchangeable gender differences. I've found it far more useful to break down the world into assholes and non-assholes, ignoring reproductive plumbing as a qualifier. You don't cheat because you're a man. You cheat because you're an asshole that happens to have a penis. You don't demand a $10,000 engagement ring because you're a woman. You demand a $10,000 engagement ring because you're an asshole that happens to have a vagina. See how simple it is!
So, today, on this day to honor women's achievement, I was walking around the brothel-ridden neighborhood of Yau Ma Tei and came across this sign, a sign that was clearly written by an asshole. Because only an asshole would put a value on a woman's vagina based on race or nationality.
And in other news about assholes that happen to have penises and authority based on possession of said penises:
"They have told us that my two eyes are equal to one of his because in my country each man is worth two women. They are not the same"
