International Women's Day

Today is International Women’s Day.

Should we have an International Women’s Day? Is it something that we should do or does it reiterate the division of gender and further mark the huge difference between men and women? Does it even perpetuate the gender divide?

In some ways, I’m not sure that I do want an International Women’s Day and before I have to cope with the wrath of a million feminists (I should be so lucky that there are that many readers), there is a reason for such a statement.
I wish that there was no need to highlight the plight of women across the world. I wish that there had never been a time when women felt subservient to men. I wish that people would value women for being women and men for being men, and that neither gender was seen as superior in any way other than the obvious ones of physicality that, for all Billy Jean and Martina’s efforts, is clearly insurmountable.

However hard we try and pretend the opposite, men and women are different, and I think we ought to celebrate the fact. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Though I think there are some men that are far more akin to Venus and many woman who truly have greater warrior inclinations. Nothing is quite that simple.

I wish it would not be seen as politically incorrect to suggest an International Men’s Day because actually, I would quite like to celebrate the joy of men. I like men. I like having sex with men. I like their sexual organs. I like feasting my eyes on them and feeling the effects of such voyeurism on and in my own body.
I like talking to men. I like being hugged by men. I like their manliness all around me. I like the fact that they are essentially quite different from me.

I wish that International Women’s Day could be daring and challenge our view on female sexuality. Maybe this is happening somewhere in the world.

Mainly though, I am glad that there is an International Women’s Day. Even if we were in a world of total equality, which we are clearly not, then there should still be such a day to celebrate womanhood and to remind us of the struggles that our ancestors had in being recognized and worthy civilians, and support those women who still struggle for recognition around the world today.
An election is looming and I still get stupidly annoyed by women who do not exercise their right to vote. It is a privilege that was not there for our predecessors, however clichéd it may sound.

Now, I know I am in danger of sounding flippant but I do want to return to the idea of female sexuality and International Women’s Day.
Surely this should be the absolute platform for standing up there and screaming very ardently and passionately that there is still far too much to do in relation to the acceptance of female sexuality and the right to be a sexual being?

Women around the world are still being victimized, are still being abused for the very fact that they are women. That is an abhorrence and will always continue to be a central theme for International Women’s Day. However, there are other female causes that need a voice too, and there will always be a need for such advocation of women’s rights until there is acceptance of total equity.

So here are a few thoughts that I would like the organizers of International Women’s Day to consider in the future.

1. That there should be an absolute acceptance of the G-Spot – Can you really believe that in the 21st century there is still the debate about its existence. For all of those doubting Thomases or indeed Thomasina’s, I would happily demonstrate this to you if necessary.

2. Along the same lines, there should be an absolute acceptance of female orgasms. They are not a myth. We are not all blessed with the acting capabilities of Meg Ryan and her ilk. Yes, we can be cunning enough to fake it if necessary but the female orgasm is a real, and fucking wonderful thing that should be an entitlement for all women. Can you imagine a world without the male orgasm or an acceptance of its functionality and purpose? No, of course not. Without male orgasms we wouldn’t actually be here. So let’s see the emotional and spiritual needs of the female orgasm with the same importance and vitality of the functional and pragmatic purpose of the male one. Just because one has practicality for existence doesn’t negate the importance of the other.

3. More on female sexuality. There should be an absolute acceptance of the female orgasm. I am fed up of apologizing for my juiciness. Luckily I don’t have to apologise to my lover. He rather likes being soaked in my juices. He loves to see my fuck juices running all over his balls and soaking the sheets beneath. He loves to celebrate my juiciness by rubbing it all over the two of us. Even if it was urine, he would not be squeamish or stupid about it but the simple fact of the matter is that it is not urine. It is clearly something entirely different. When I said that I want to stop apologizing for my juiciness I meant generally. There are still far too many people who think I am pissing over my lover and this has got to stop. This myth around female ejaculation has to stop NOW!

4. There should be an absolute acceptance that women have as much right to think about sex as much as a man does. There is the notion that sex is still a man’s domain. They are the ones who are allowed to have naughty thoughts. They are the ones that can watch porn without anyone really batting an eyelid these days. They are the ones who can be overtly sexual without having a tirade of vulgar names associated with their obvious sexuality. You don’t get men being called tarts or whores or hussies or anything like it. Sexual revolution is required before these words are eradicated in such derogatory terms.

5. And talking of terminology, there should be an absolute acceptance of words like vulva and labia. These are beautiful parts of the body. They are vital to my being. They’re pretty vital to my lover’s being as he adores to look at them, stroke them, lick them, separate them so that he can slide gloriously into me. Can you imagine if we did not have appropriate words for the male organs? Can you imagine not having a functional word such as penis or willy let alone the coarser version of cock or dick? Vagina – I mean, vagina doesn’t even relate to the areas of the body that we are trying to talk about for goodness sake

6. And whilst we are on the subject of body parts, there should be an absolute acceptance of the functionality of the clitoris. Let’s stop shying away from its existence. Let’s remind people that it is there and it requires stimulation. And if it is stimulated properly, it can give the most intense pleasure known to woman. Stop pretending that is not important just because it has no significance for procreation. Sex is not just about procreation? When was the last time you had sex to procreate?

7. There should be an absolute acceptance that female masturbation is as important and as natural as male wanking. Just because our bodily parts are shoved inside rather than on show does not mean they are less significant. They can still be aroused. You just have to go a little deeper into yourself to do so. The effect of masturbation is the same for women as it is for men, including the ejaculation and climax. I adore to feel myself to orgasm, especially if I am being encouraged to do so by an adorable man sitting there with his cock in hand watching me do it. There’s very little that is more exciting.

8. There should be an absolute acceptance of sexual equality. By this I mean there should be an absolute understanding that there is equal desire, equal passion, equal need between the sexes.

I could go on for hours and hours.

Dear readers, please feel free to add to this pledge on International Women’s Day.
No flippancy intended.

I am completely convinced that until we get full acceptance and appreciation of these and many more absolutes, we will never have the type of gender equality that we are still fighting for.
Sexual equality, sexual understanding could be the key to the lock that we haven’t really tried yet.
It’s worth considering at the very least.
