In my 17 years of life I have noticed a pattern with the minor holidays each year. Are you ready for it? Are you ready for my ground-breaking revalation? Ok... here it is...
They are all centered around buying shit for women.
Think about it. Well actually don't think about it, I don't want you to hurt yourself, so let me think for you. All the holidays centered around women get tons of press and commercialism, every holiday centered around men is left in its lonely corner with a wrench as its only friend. Don't believe me? Think of all the most trivial holidays in each year. You get Valentines day, Mother and Father's day, International Women's day (yes this exists, I had to look it up.), Columbus day, etc. Now tell me, who do you think Valentines day is for? No its not for the couple or for love or whatever bullshit answer you came up with, its for the woman in the relationship. Every Valentines day commercial is a sappy mess of manufactured love and emotionally charged commercialism centered on guilt tripping the man into buying useless shit for women. It doesn't piss me off so much that Big Business is manipulating the emotions of simpletons, what pisses me off is that the women actually expect you to buy them shit or they'll throw a major bitch fit and force you to sleep on the couch that night. Its a good thing that I've conditioned my woman to serve me without question. What did you say to me woman? All you want for Valentines Day is a cheap card and one of those 25 cent gumballs? NO!! Now get back to cooking me dinner bitch!
Let me move on from the obvious gender bias of Valentines day to the supposedly equal mother's day and father's day. Well, isn't that nifty, they made a holiday for both your mother and father on different days so that you could give them both your gratitude equally. WRONG! The fat, bloated whore that is mother's day dominates the parental holiday scene with more commercialism and emotionally charged bullshitting. I didn't even see a single goddamn advertisement for Father's Day, hell I didn't even know it passed until I started thinking about Mother's Day. I didn't get my dad anything, but did he bitch and moan about it? NO. Why? Because no one is expected to get anything for Father's Day, its just a pity holiday that was made so the holiday committee wouldn't feel guilty over putting such obvious gender bias into their holiday making. And I hear that there is some kind of Women's History Month? How the hell did they manage to stretch that over a month? And then there's International Women's Day. What the f.uck is that? Why don't we just make a quadriplegic-shemale-dwarf-with-sporadic-epilepsy day? Or perhaps we can save the energy and just change International Women's Day to Bitter-about-men-shaping-the-world-so-made-a-day-to-pretend-women-had-a-role-in-it day. What did women ever do to warrant them so many holidays. I don't care if you went into 24 hours of excruciating labor to bring me into existence ma, I'm going to need more reason than that to buy you a 99 cent Hallmark card and then write my name in it with pen.
I say we take all these holidays that celebrate vaginas (or whatever the hell women holidays celebrate) and get rid of them. I say we bring the era of denial to an end and bring about the age of truth. No more holidays centered around making women feel better about their insignificance throughout history, no more guilt tripping men into buying women shit, no more groundhogs day (I know it has nothing to do with women but seriously, what the hell is it good for?). In this new age of unbridled truth all other minor holidays will be replaced by one all-encapsulating holiday. It will be called MASD for short, but among the real truth seekers it will be given its full and proper name, the name that screams out the truth. It will be called Men Are Superior Day.

Haha all holiday make economic sense, this is a consumer nation. That's just the way it is, unfortunately :(
Well, that's isn't how Mother's Day started or why it started. What has happened to it commercially is not how everybody observes it or what it means to them today, including myself. I don't think a Hallmark card is going to matter or mean anything to a mother already in a grave or to the child of that woman. My own mother who, by the way, is worthy of being honored, doesn't expect nor appreciate a "commercial" gift-because-you-have-to anything from either of her kids...but, just like any person out there, she does appreciate a phone call or a visit...just like she does on other days.
I know what your style of writing is and what your "purpose" or "aim" is supposed to be, so I have kept that in consideration with every one of your posts. I may not have liked or agreed with a lot of what you have said, but I never had a reason to believe that you were writing to me or about me personally, no direct attack, if you know what I mean. I have always kept all of this in mind when commenting on your posts.
I don't believe I've judged you, been unfair to you, or have done/said anything to cause a reason for you to want to attack me or offend me personally. Yet, you have chosen to do that with this post. It's bad enough that I did take offense, but to think that you would even want to insult me (or include me in your insult) is even more offensive.
You can think what you want and I really don't care. I just want you to know that I don't personally appreciate you telling me that I am inferior or not worthy of something in life or according to others just because you don't think so. And, in the way your post was worded, I believe you intentionally called me whore...which, again, may be insulting but, but I have been called a lot of things...so, although I don't like it, I could care less about the name-calling...it's just the fact that you would do it that bothers me so much.
But, it does cross over the line when you include others I care about and have reasons to love them, especially when I know these people have earned recognition and appreciate in spite of my sentiments toward them. And, you did cross that line with your deliberate insults when you posted this. You may have called ME a whore (and suggested a whole bunch of other things), but for you to do the same by calling me mother that when you don't even know her and she has absolutely nothing to do with you, that is totally and completely unfair. You probably don't give a rat's ass about how I feel so I may be wasting my time and energy, but these personal attacks, assumptions, and declarations can not be forgiven.
If I had something to say to you, good or bad, complimentary or insulting, I would say it to you and about you...I wouldn't judge others because of whatever you did or said. But, I guess you're just not good enough to do that same thing when you're speaking out.
If you have a problem with the holiday, so be it. If you have a problem with commercialism, then so be it. If you have a problem with the mother you have or the ones you've known, then they deserve your comments, but my mother and the ones I've known don't. If you have a problem with the women you know or have known, then fine, but all women shouldn't be assumed to be the same just because you've had such rotten luck or experiences with those you consider to be losers in some way. And, if you have a problem with me, well I don't think I deserve it but I guess I should take some responsibility for it because I allowed a connection to exist by way of the blogging world. However, to get to my mother, grandmothers, friends, or anyone else I know by throwing out names and insults to me... and then intensifying the insults to me by going through me to deliberately drag them into the insult attack is extremely puzzling and hurtful. Well, congratulations if that's what you were aiming to do. But, although I may feel offended by all of this, none of the others will be because they will never hear of this and because they wouldn't care what you had to say about them anyway... they're all too good to be bothered by anything that somebody like you might say about them. They're already better than that.
I don't know what made you think that I was referring to you, but I wasn't. There are a lot of mothers out there and I haven't insulted any one in particular. Neither was I calling you a whore, I was paralleling the way Mother's Day has become an over commercialized way for corporations to gain an extra buck with a fat, bloated whore. I never called anyone a whore. I don't know what part of this clearly misguided and satirical post made you think that I was refering to you, but I definately wasn't. From what I've read on your blog you seem to be a nice person and I wouldn't want to insult you like that.
I agree with you to a point on how most holidays are focused on women. All holidays are commercialized and the big time stores or other businesses associated with holidays use women as a way to make money for their companies. Because, after all, who is the main focus in peoples lives, their mothers, girlfriends, and wives. In order to make money, people have made women the main focus of whom should receive a gift on these holidays. Men really don't care too much if they don't receive anything. They are pretty easy to please. All you have to do is call them are hang out with them, etc. Most women, not all, love to have sentimental things given to them. I think they like receiving things so that one day when they are older, they see these items and reflect back on the day they got it. I personally do not celebrate V-day, never have and never will. For Christmas, I personally despise the stress of having to buy gifts for people plus the main focus is taken off of what that day is all about; therefore, I do not exchange Christmas gifts. I celebrate Mother's day and Father's day by taking them to a restaurant or making their favorite dessert. That's it, after all parents should be recognized every day of the year. Parents should also recognize their kids. Easter is overly commercialized so I never partake in the whole candy or bunny thing.
Anyways, I do agree with almost everything you said, though I hate to admit it. I just have a classier way of stating it.
