Circlip: So to say that men are overwhelmingly responsible for most of the wars throughout history would be wrong, would it? Well I can only thank you for correcting my misconception.
I didn’t say that . The only country that has equality in that respect is Israel, where both women & men have to do national service . I would rather die than watch my daughter, or partner go into battle . That may be chauvinistic, but that’s my stance .

Youcannow: I didn’t say that .
I was only following forum tradition by implying that you said something you didn't. Just as you were following its tradition by implying a falsehood without actually saying it, and hoping no one would notice.

So would I, but I would also feel the same way about watching my son go into battle.

Yes, exactly. Male or female Jews are responsible for the world's wars
Youcannow: Even past wars had influential women directly involved, dating back to cleopatra .
Only the other day you said there were so few influential women it'd take just one day to list them...where as it'd take all year to list all the men....
now it seems women were involved all the way back to Cleopatra.....
so which is it Youcannow..are you running with the hare or are you chasing with the fox??

blathin: Poor youcannow...he's harmless really....just needs to be reminded he's actually saying stuff out loud sometimes...
Well, to be fair, I get the impression that he does genuinely feel badly done to, and there may well be something in his own personal experience that justifies that, but it doesn't justify the projecting of that grievance onto the world in general. I think he's a decent bloke really, just a bit reckless with his comments.
Do you think partners are the only people who can spoil women?
Woman's day is not about "getting spoiled" for one day a year
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, …..
Well said Selenite
Think to acknowledge the contributions made by women is a great thing. In the western world Women are and have made great strides to be recognised as an equal, and this will and have inspired other cultures and countries to serve that as example to push through the agenda of treating Women/Girls as an Equal. To celebrate Women’s Day is an Education in many parts of the world. Still a long way to go………. !!!
