But to keep things in balance, they didn't celebrate International Men's day either.

If woman produce better reults why then is our education system kaput.
Men only make up 25% of teachers.
Rest homes,why is it that no one i talk to has a good word to say about the workers at rest homes,again nearly 80% are woman.
Not picking on woman just stating facts.
I agree completly with you,have a Father in Law in care at the moment.I respect their work tremendously.
What i am saying is that it's pretty hard to find people that will agree with me as what i hear is moan moan bitch bitch about the staff.
Not from me i greatly appreciate the work they do.

I thought you had your own thread in "off market discussions" you could use for your rants.??
Better there than here.
Nonsense? I think its great. I want a day and why not? Should be a public holiday too.
I believe you may be missing out on something. That link said "International Men's Day is celebrated in over 70 countries,[9] including..." then listed 39 of those 70 countries. Here in NZ it is often recognized by events such as the Blue Ribbon Ride to highlight prostate cancer. It is not a day off work, and doesn't receive the same publicity that women's events do.
I'm not missing out because its not something worth highlighting when I can celebrate it every day. And dont get me started on the sexist health department funding which must be run by wimmins. Prostate kills as many men as breast cancer but do these Wimmins put in as much money for prevention. No way. Anyhow - getting way off topic now!
I definitely think this is an issue worth debating and we should look at results from countries that are doing things different to us in this field. As you know, I have seen positive changes in a different country. But the Heartland thread taken over with pages of this already this morning is not the thread for it. It is not a company specific issue
