Dees Celebrate International Women’s Day

[WalkingCivilWar 33,489]

Today marks the 95th International Women’s Day (75th in Australia).

A day to acknowledge the achievements of all women, particularly those who strove tirelessly for equity, the results of which means among many other things we have Kate as our president, and a deserving President at that.

To quote a sign-off I share in PMs with another Dees gal ( 👋 xxx)  on here…

SHEILAS UNITE!!!!

PS: before any of the ‘usual suspects’ get on here biiitching and Moaning… “why isn’t there an International Men’s Day???” There is, every November 19th. It’s just that y’all are too lazy to get off your arzes to promote it. 😝😁🙃

Yep, definitely a day to acknowledge. Obviously we don't want to only save our best for one day of the year but it's always good to have a stop and think moment.

And every other day, except most of us men are just too selfish and stupid to admit it.

i see women's day as a day just to celebrate women in all positive ways

the other 364 days of the year are there to fight for better equality

Even if Australian women had achieved equality in all areas (which they have not) they have every right to celebrate International Womens Day every year. Think of it like your birthday, it's OK.

In my case it is, MD!

So I have two reasons to celebrate today, which justifies the fact that I’m currently polishing off another bottle of champagne with my gal-pal who is also a birthday girl.

🥂 Here’s to day-drinking! 🥂

Great messaging from the club.

Can we merge this with @WalkingCivilWarthread which is also a great thread.  TIA

Umm, what happened to her thread?  I haven't been on DL all afternoon but it seems to have disappeared from the main Forum page? 😟

Did someone derail it?

Which thread? I looked to see if someone had posted one as I have been offline most of the afternoon.

I can't find it Andy.  It was on the main Board this morning. 

[Lucifers Hero 37,324]

Found it.  (Search feature is my friend 🙃)  Not sure which forum it is in...

 

Edit:  Oops, found it the General Discussion Forum. 

Just read the thread.  Someone really ruffled @WalkingCivilWar's feathers.  Not sure it is a good idea to ruffle the feathers of a 'ranga' - fiery at the best of times😍

This is off topic (football) granted, but is it really? 

There are many women involved in the AFL like our president. Our AFLW team. It is still  International Womens Day, leave this topic on the main board, at least until people have had the chance to read it and respond.

Thank you for finding it for me. I've now merged them and moved it back here.

For good reason too. Misogyny has no place on Demonland. Do you disagree?

Happy birthday!  You were almost a teetotaler when joining DL.  What has the DA done to you🙄

Have a great day!  🥂

I agree  no place anywhere for misogyny, however there were some positive posts as well.

I can understand the drinking WCW. It’s tough when you actually hit 30.

When I get a minute later I'll go through and edit out where they quote the offending post.

Yeah that’d be some of mine. And rightly so. I may or may not have threatened to burn DL to the ground. 😬 As Luci @Lucifers Herosaid best not to ruffle the feathers of a fiery ranga. Wise words indeed.

Special mention to my mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, who took the 'International' part to the extreme by spending the day flying back to Vietnam.

International Women's Day is also a much bigger deal in Vietnam than here, so I'm glad they also get four extra hours of the day there to celebrate!

Happy international women's Day to all our Lady posters, a total of 2 I think!

28 hour day! Wow that has changed since my last trip there.
