Over half the planet is comprised of the females, yet we males are so freaking pathetic that we pat ourselves on the back and give them a single day.

They can reciprocate on International Men's Day!   :thumb:  We're half the planet too ...

You guys are overcompensating.

Other days that are stupid:

Mother's day
Father's day
Grandparent's day
Secretary's day
Nurses get a full friggin week
Valentine's day
President's day
And pretty much every other Hallmark "holiday"

Meh

PS of course women rock, no shit, it's literally the only reason men have done anything in history from the wheel to nuclear weapons.

We don't celebrate any of the above.

As a matter of fact a few years back we were over some friends house for dinner when one of them said "hey, btw, happy anniversary". They were right, we looked at each other and laughed cause neither of us remembered.

Wait?!? What's Oct 19th?!? Other than the anniversary of a gay couple with whom we're very close?!?

We forgot our very first anniversary, and so decided not to fool with any of that invented Hallmark stuff.

We celebrate every day. 15,695 days together so far, so it must be working for us ....

Well, it didn't take long for a well-intentioned thread to turn into a sausage-fest... :rolleyes:

Anyway, women riders and pillions...hope all your days are special! The sport needs more of you and not just draped over some misogynist's 'custom' bike....

I would say women don't need our help, just our respect.

And the biggest form of respect I can think to give is not to make any special allowances.

I think that's one of the reasons why Jenn has always enjoyed training in karate with me. I don't treat her differently, I treat her like any other opponent (of the same size). I know know how tough she is.
