I will still criticize what I don't like. For example, I don't like Women's Day, I think it is PC, tokenism, and meaningless. That's just my opinion though. The problem is that many women (not all ) expect to be given gifts on this day. This should not be another excuse to sell flowers and chocolate. This does not help women, does not "empower" them, and is a self-defeating thing. Giving people things for nothing never helps them. Festivals like Easter and Xmas, and Spring Festival in China also mean nothing these days. Also agree that Fifi should not be able have posts she does not like removed. Moderators can do this if they want to objectively and without interference. The Trump Diplomcy/FT PRC poster made an effort to change things a bit, that's fine, and like I said, I will keep my side of the bargain.

You're right, SB, they shouldn't need a special day. However, a good part of the world population believe that God has designed women purely to serve men. Although, they would cunningly maintain that women are equal in the eyes of God and it's just that we have different jobs to do- which is okay for hubby as he strolls into the supermarket as cool as a cucumber in sandals and cooling clothes- not quite so nice for Mum wearing a duvet with holes cut out so she doesn't bump into anything. I mean we are not talking about my wrathful old man's failing eyesight here, we are talking about how things are! Fortunate Western women should use their women's days to complain about their sisters dragging themselves around in duvets.
