Better hope she still not using cast iron skillets, those things can do some damage. :)

My first wife had a tendency to throw things. Cookware, knives, in fact she would sometimes MT kitchen cabinets at me. Not much of issue, because I was champion dodgeball player in grade school.
But when she threw the cat...
4 foot around, and a claw or tooth ready for the near miss.

So, when is Men's History Month, or did I miss it?

The world's population is almost an equal split, 50.4% men, 49.6% women.
So, we should expect equal billing, right?

Women haven't had equal billing ever.
They just got the right to vote in 1920.
They still are told what they can and can't do with their bodies by old white men.
They still get paid less. 18% less.
There might be as many women as men but they sure as heck don't get equal billing IMO.

Well they live longer then men so there is that. I would say that is an advantage.
Affirmative action has more than made up for any advantage that men once had in hiring.
Still told what they can do with their bodies by old white men? Old white men prevent the use of women using birth control? Never seen that... If you mean abortion, that is society driven at the State level now, Your free to vote for whomever you like to make that decision for you.

Affirmative action has solved the issue, but women are still paid less for doing many jobs? And look at the fight about law eliminating that gap.
Birth control? If you got news from a verity of sources you would know some old white men are discussing limits on BC. And on the other thing, if the OWM is paid by state, instead of Fed, he is still telling her what she can do. If free, she could make the decision for herself.

As spoken by an old white man. LOL

Isn’t there a BLM rally or a tree to go tie yourself to somewhere?

Idk aboot your industry but in mine women get absolutely equal compensation or “billing” as men for equal positions. Even if it’s a manual labor type position and they’re physically weaker. For white collar positions, they get more consideration than men….generally because some biiitch more about being treated equal and then also most assuredly put in less hours with more and better excuses.

This argument is soooo old and worn out/ overused, most women don’t even believe it anymore! At least not the ones striving to contribute equally….

Common sense has rarely been in evidence for these many hundreds of years. But one can hope for miracles. :)

Basically, every month is Men's History Month. Or hadn't you noticed? :)

Sometimes my wife wishes I was history . . . . does that count? :E

Unless people start using a tiny bit of common sense and start standing against the insanity that is going on in the world, men and woman are both history.
