Star Member sheshe2 (22,355 posts)Women’s History Month pisses me off.So does Black History Month.So black people get February and women get March. Wow. How very generous.I move to call all of the other months “White Male History Month.†Let’s put it on all of the calendars.snip/And let’s continue pretending that black people, all women and anyone who isn’t a white man are a mere side dish of American history.Have you ever wondered why African-Americans and women get a whole month dedicated just to them? It sounds kind of cool. Wow!! A whole month!!!What a crock.These *special* months exist because the primary focus of American history centers around white men. Granted, this country has been run by a white male majority since its birth – and certain white men sure do like it and wish to keep it that way.Read More http://kaj-roar.com/2015/03/womens-history-month-pisses-me-off/
Scootaloo (16,169 posts)3. Want a real snorter?Hispanic Heritage month is September 15-October 15. That's right. Hispanic Heritage Month is the only history / heritage month that shows up late and clocks out early.The only rational way to address these issues is a comprehensive history; History did not begin in England and end in Virginia, but you'd never know it from grade school textbooks. De-focus from Wars and "singular leaders," and look instead at the movements and swings that actually formed our nation.The African-American diaspora during the period between WW1 and 1955 did more to alter our nation's character, culture, politics, and principles than the Yalta Confernce... which gets more coverage in textbooks?
brer cat (3,578 posts)4. Me too.I think it is patronizing. Give the little ladies a special month, pat them on the head, and they will be nice and obedient.
freshwest (49,617 posts)15. Oh, thank goodness. I was afraid this was going to be a thread about *that time of the month!*Is a icon needed? Here:I suggest we divide the months by population statistics. Nope, that would still be unfair.I'm sorry that all these 'histories' or exceptions to 'his-story,' are no longer taught as one. Back in the stone ages, we learned about all the struggles of minorities, women, labor and migrants.It was part of the New Deal type education we were given. We had dozens of people and peoples taught all year long - inclusively.And the real pisser to me is giving black people the shortest, most ambiguous month out of the year.Really, you couldn't do any better than that, guys?

What the hell? I have to share my heritage month with women? This is bull shit!
When is penis month?Hey, if it's a man's world, we should have a penis month.....or 3 or 4.
I guess you would have to share it with black history month since it's the shortest month.
