Men's Day


Last week in South Africa we celebrated Women's Day.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love women. In fact my best friend is a women ;)
Having a day to remember their part of the struggle is great.

But contrary to popular belief, everyday is not men's day. And even if we did have a day for us, most of us are so confused about what this would mean that I don't actually think we would know how to celebrate it anyway.

So, into the void speaks the wisdom of Fight Club.

"I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who have ever lived --

an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; or they're slaves
with white collars. Advertisements have them chasing cars and clothes,
working jobs they hate so they can buy shit they don't need. We are
the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. We have no
great war, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The
great depression is our lives. We were raised by television to believe
that we'd be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't.
And we're learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed-off."
