@PhDork: It will be even more amazing if it actually works! Apparently if you *say* you didn’t violate a protective order, that’s enough to scare off law enforcement from actually prosecuting. Cuz, you know, teh ladeez are always making shit up about getting stalked and junk.

Well, I’m a day late, but I’m “celebrating” by helping my ex’s wife get a permanent restraining order against him! Specifically, by signing an affidavit in which I detail abusive behaviors that he engaged in with me in order to help her establish evidence of a pattern. I’ve never spoken out about it before, but I’m glad to do it now–and hopeful that it will help. Up with women, and down with abusive jerks!

Apologies for my incorrect spelling. Thing = think. But I’m sure you all figured that one out.

I’ve never heard of this holiday before. It just makes me thing of the “International Male” catalog. Something must be wrong with my brain.

Hurray! I wasn’t aware of this special day but since I am now, I’m making myself cookies.

That’s right. Not to share, for no one else, for me (my favorite she-devil is on holiday otherwise I would share). And I will continue celebrating by eating the entire dozen until they are gone (take THAT, womens-body-police).

That guy wouldn’t be saying that if he had a very real risk and knowledge of being raped. It’s one of those things that the privilaged can claim and it still won’t make it right.

yeah I think it’s bigger overseas, my only Intl Women’s day greetings, besides Harpyness, came from overseas.

Marigold I looked all around for an image of a winged penis that was shriveled, or something…but then I got lost looking at the Carravaggios http://www.lib-art.com/imgpainting/9/7/8079-st-john-the-baptist-caravaggio.jpg

Do you know what I like best about my job?
My co-workers.
Do you know why?
For example, Because my boss remembered that today is International Women’s Day, and wished the ladies in my office a “Happy Women’s Day!”
We’re in the US where it’s not really much of a holiday but he’s from Europe & apparently in his home country it’s a bigger deal where he’s from. No one mentioned it to him. He just remembered by himself.

I just had that on my mind all day.

For celebration I… well I went to the store and I got some of my self-care things. I’m not planning on writing or blogging anything special today because I’m still learning the history of this day.

Well that just turned my whole day around, thank you! I wish it was a real trophy for my office, I would totally display it. Esp since more often than not, I tell my annoying co-irkers to “suck it.” Hmm….

@ImtheMarigold: I hereby present you with the International Women’s Day Feminazi Bonerkiller Award. It comes with layer cake, champagne, and a big gold trophy of a shriveled penis, suitable for displaying at your workplace.

Good for you for Being a Bitch!
