I will endeavor to treat women better than I do on every other day of the year. Which if I do say so myself, is typically done with respect, admiration, and courtesy. After all, I don't see any reason to disrespect, be discourteous or otherwise demean [u]anyone [/u]simply because they don't share my variety of genitalia.
It's still early, but I just brought my wife her second cup of coffee (made just the way she likes it, preheated Irish Cream, then sugar, topped with coffee). Yay me?
If I were to think about it, women are my most favorite half of the species. They should have more than just a single day IMO. And as far as I am concerned, they do.

[quote][quote]They should have more than just a single day IMO. And as far as I am concerned, they do.[/quote] What do you mean by this?[/quote] I mean that I make a personal effort to be as polite and considerate to women as possible. I have a lot of female co-workers and I understand that they don't always get a fair or equal shot. I do my best to make sure that my personal interactions are fair, courteous and considerate as possible. I have women peers, colleagues, and women above/below me in the company structure. I try to deal with all of my co-workers as courteously, as professionally and as equally as I possibly can.

I was prepared to type up a great big radical feminist response to this, but my liver hurts too much. Oh well.

Is there something wrong with my response/practice? I can't change/control the rest of the world, but I can control how I choose to interact with and treat other people. The differences (and inequities) between nearly everyone is a reality of life itself. I figure that the only really effective thing that I can do, is to do my best to make sure that I treat each person as an individual worthy of consideration and courtesy unless and until they demonstrate that they don't deserve such effort.

I'll try to come back to this to respond to it adequately, but I need to get some sleep and eat some greasy breakfast food first.

Seggi, he's just saying that setting aside one day a year to not be horrible towards women is inadequate. I'm inclined to agree; Women's Day, to me, seems like a token display of appreciation to get people to feel good and show off how progressive they are. Same goes for Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.

I think that we may be working over my phrase "And as far as I am concerned, they do." When I say "as far as I am concerned" I don't mean "In my opinion they already do", I mean "in my day to day practice and interactions, I try to act as if every day is a make a special effort day". Maybe that helps defuse or clarify.
