Semester 2 session 8

The subject is "International women's day"

So yesterday was the International women's day, an important date for some, just a random day for others. And for me it's the kind of "celebration" (don't really know how to call it) that gives me mixed feelings. There is a part of me who is happy to see that we give more recognition to women than 50 or 20 years ago. And an other part is kinda sad to see of some people or big brands that use this day to make marketing with it and do their good action of the month. Also I think that the problem with these days to honor a minority are not that good 'cause to me it just put in evidence the lack of equality of our modern society and it doesn't do concrete things. What I mean is that we shouldn't even have an International women's day as for me it should be natural to respect women and treat then as equal as possible as we treat men. And just to conclude (as I'm already way up 100 words), to me it's an utopia to wish that we could live in a perfect equality between men and women, black and white people... As we are not the same (for men and women we are not even comparable being). What makes me say that is the Life itself is based on the concept of shadow and light, there can't be one without the other, it's a balance that we can regulate but in we are not able to destruct or erase it.

This is a very interesting topic and it is topical because there are still many inequalities between men and women in France.
However, I find that this day should not "exist" because for me, it is always the day of the woman! It show that world must change and mentalities also, in all areas: work, power...
This day explains us inequalities in the world but it's important to tell and show that because in some countries, women are women are denigrated and have no value. This day can help raise awareness.
In fact, I don’t really like these days that celebrate something, it can have a negative side.
To conclude, women will continue to fight for their rights and to be equal to men, that is very noble! Mens must help them to win!

Let’s get on with this!
International Women’s Day.. I compare this kind of event to feminist movements.. I’m not really for it. Do men have a day dedicated to them?
For me this kind of event reveals a false feminism that degrades the image of women and weakens society.
Feminism is a western movement that does not reveal the will of women. The emancipation of women is a myth. The woman needs the man as the man needs the woman, even in our present society.

Hey John!
Today the topic is International Women’s Day and for me this topic is really interesting. This day is an opportunity each year to take stock of the situation of women today. On this day, we will find everywhere in the world demonstrations, and many other events organized by associations. These gatherings celebrate the victories and achievements in women’s rights, but they also make it possible to make all the demands heard in order to improve the situation of women. This day should not be overlooked as it is important

International women's day ? Is that a thing ?? Damn, since we gave them the right to vote they're out of control... (Obviously I'm joking, please don't show this to Lydie, she'll beat me up).
Seriously, what can I say about this. Anyone with half a brain will easily realise that there are a lot of things that we need to change about the equality between men and women, and having a day to celebrate the differences while fighting against our wrongs is a great thing. I don't need to write an essay to explane why, if you don't realise it by yourself then I'm not wasting my time trying to fix your retarded mind.
If I really had to say something, it would be to just try to fight for equality 365 days a year, and not only on the 8th of March to act cool on social medias (that is a targeted message.)

Hello Jonh,

International Women's Day highlights the various struggles for women's rights and freedoms. There are 87 international days introduced by the UN and this is one of them. Today, in my opinion, this day is more involved from a media point of view than the ideas and values it should transmit. Of course, events are always organised to allow the public expression of these important values.

Hi John ,i think international women's day it's a good topic to push forward their rights, the day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parit. It claims the right of women to vote and the right to work and the end of discrimination at work . Gatherings take place every year all over the world; it was sovieti russia wich is the first country to officialise it in 1921 by withering a day not idle
Finally it was only on 1977 the United Nations formalised the day by inviting all the counties of the world to celebrate a day in favour of women's rights
Actually Women are in the first line of covid crisis.Women generally act without complaining

International Women's Day appeared in France in 1910 to demand women's right to vote, the right to work and an end to discrimination at work. This day is special for women because it shows that they must be judged like men. They must be equal to men. However, they want to be equal in some areas but in others, this is not the case as in gymnastics which is more represented by women. So why not make an International Human Day.

Hi John!!! International women's day it's a day during which we see a lot of post on website for the young (réseaux sociaux) about respect for women. I think it's stupid, it's not just 1 days out of 365 that you have to think about it but 365 days out of 365!
But it's important to show at least one day the horrors that can be seen in 2021 (femicide, discrimination..)
I laugh a lot when I see "And we men have our own day?" MDRRRR
So for me this day it's day like the other day.......

International Women's Day, also known as International Women's Rights Day in some countries like France, is celebrated on 8 March. It is an international day highlighting the struggle for women's rights and in particular for the reduction of inequalities with men. Women's Day should not be confused with Women's Rights Day, which is a day to highlight the daily struggle of women. I find it absurd that in 2021 a woman's salary is still 25% lower than that of a man. Inequalities may be to our advantage in society, but inequalities in rights do not have to exist. However, I think that more and more men are fighting for women's rights and that it is no longer a fight of the "weaker sex". This term disturbs me a lot because I would say that in general women are stronger than men. I am even intimately convinced of this.

International women's day is celebrated on 8th March every years. I think it's great to make a special journey for women and her fight against injustice and inequalities with men. But i think it is condemned to that day when the battle is all year around. Moreover, every woman has something special and exceptional, we must not forget that without her we are nothing. I would therefore give my respect to all women, who endure a great deal of things that we men will not be able to bear. If the world were logical, they would not need to fight to be recognised at their fair value, that would be normal.

Women's day.
I don't know what to think of this. In a sense. it's a day that allows us to take stock of what has changed and allows us to see what still needs to be improved to have gender equality.
However, having a women's day can make think that they are fragile and that they need a day to defend their rights. I find that almost counterproductive, because we should fight every day to have equality between men and women. In addition, only Women's Day exists, while there is enormous inequality on many other populations that do not have a specific day. Finally, I think it's good to fight for equality, but this day is not necessary. Only human intelligence should advance its inequalities, which no everyone has.

Hi John.
I think the women's day is a good way to remember us that women had fought to have today a really better equality with the men. Unfortunately, some inequalities persevere and That is terrible at our time. In fact, yes the biggest inequalities has dissapeared ( right to vote, to work, ...) but there is always difference in salary, in the politic in general, in the mediatisation, sports,...

I think this is terrible because we are all humans, there is not a better sex than other, and more than that, I think it is absolutely disgusting to be categorized just because of our genetic.
I was born as a man and I can't imagine what women live everyday but it has to change quikly.

Hello John,

For me this day is important indeed, however it should be every day the day of the woman. Women are amazing we need them to survive. Without my mother I wouldn't be here... Thank you mum and all mums for bringing us into the world yes sir. Women, women... what more can I say... But I have a question to ask, when is my day, men's day, I want to receive gifts, to be spoiled.
More seriously, this day is a reminder that there is no inequality between men and women, everyone must support and help each other. However, there are still inequalities, for example in relation to pay... We must change these mentalities, these inequalities because we are human beings.

Hello sir, today we are talking about women's day, first of all why is there an international women's day? in order to highlight the fight for women's rights and in particular for the reduction of inequalities in relation to men. i think that it is a very important day, in order to remember that unfortunately women in society have not always been equal to men, and sometimes still are. But I also think that we should not wait for the 8th of March every year to respect women and put them on the same level as men. We should not wait for the 8th of March every year to congratulate women for everything they accomplish every day, because they are all as important as men and sometimes have even more responsibility than them. So I think it's important to respect, congratulate and be grateful to all the women in the world on a daily basis and not just wait for one day in the year to do it.

Hi again john, the internationnal women day, was created to defend the rights of womens. Because their is to mutch ineguality in the world. In some country, to mutch womens arent free, they are depend of their dad or their families. But in France, this day i important but, i think its useless to put one day for women, cause all day is for men and women.

Hello John,
Today the proposed subject is "International Women's Day", this theme does not really inspire me simply because I do not find the interest. Is there man's day? I think we are doing this to support women in everyday life and above all to "commemorate" the courage they had during the difficult years before there was a woman's right, when they were still considered not free and inferior. I think we should be able to sort things out.

This day is an opportunity each year to take stock of the situation of women today. On this day, we will find everywhere in the world demonstrations, and many other events organized by associations. These gatherings celebrate the victories and achievements in women’s rights, but they also make it possible to make all the demands heard in order to improve the situation of women. This day should not be overlooked as it is important

hello john, the international women's day is an interesting topic because i think it is a good thing but in the future it must to disappear because the question of the place of the women in the socity don't need to exist, they are the equal of the mans and in 2021 it very hard to must to call back again at pepoles

This day should not exist because all the days that make a year should be dedicated to women. (joke)
More seriously, I think this day is a good thing but it doesn't do enough. There are still too many inequalities between men and women, in society, at work and in life in general

Hello John,

I think International Women's Day is an important thing, but it shouldn't even exist. (I'm talking in the right sense, I'm finishing my sentence ) Indeed, we are all equal in society, and women's day should not be just one day in particular but every day, because they have fought to enter our society and be in the same place as us, but this day, she deserves it. <3
