"Anything that the feminists hurl as evidence (porn, for example) is generaly through the womens own choice."

I disagree with this statement so completely and utterly that I'm going to have to read through the "Underware" thread (sic) to make sure I have a clear and consistent view on things.

Fine, you disagree. Thats surely all there is to it. I can only work off my own experience's and interactions so frogive me if we don't come to the same conclusion.

I just find the existence of gender specific celibrations defeats the point of gender equality. It's utter hypocrisy. 

And when gender equality is achieved, and women at a global level have escaped their sub-human status, you'll be absolutely right and I'll join you in laughing at the stupidity of it all.

Utter loud of bull! Look at wester society, women ARE treated as equal, it's only in the overly religious societys of Asia that women are still treated as second class citizens, focus on changing the attitude of the government, society and gender role in nations like China and South Korea should be the focus and not waving female pride in our faces with some trivial banner such as 'International Womens Day'. When are all the poor, down trodden men of the world going to get a day stand up and be counted?
'Rant over'

That's some quality head in the sand, uninformed bullshit right there.
You honestly think that women are treated equally in the West? Have equal pay? Job opportunities? Access to education?
Like fuck they have.

As specified above, for the most part they do. If individuals are being denied this right then I have yet to meet any, as far as I can tell from my relativly informed research gender equality is prity much fulfiled here in the UK. Anything that the feminists hurl as evidence (porn, for example) is generaly through the womens own choice.

It's all grain to the mill as far as i'm concerned, I do my part and treat all women with equality and fair does, one might argue my film collection leaves alot to be desired (New York Ripper anyone?) but for the most part I'm obnly capable of spreading equality through my own hands. Glad we can both agree that something needs to be done as far as certain nations are concerned.

True, 'celebations' only.

I'm afraid I don't recal 'Roger'. What exactly did he do that was so offensive?

Happy international womens day! I hope feminists world over realise how hypocritical and sexist the existence of such an event is in light of there liberal and whole condisending views.

My Necronomicon edition of HPL storys is amongst my most prized books despite it's unlimited print run and occational typo, it's just a lovely book.

I see Hulk Buster Armour. OK movie, lets see what you've got.

Excelent article but grud some of those comments are nauseating. 

Guys, forgive me for sounding like a knob, but what do you mean when you say 'Sexy Ostriches'?   

They're referring to this cover from the previous run of American Reaper, which has become a sort of derisory shorthand for dismissing the series among some boarders
