Actually, the US has Valentines Day that acts like a women's day. I mean, the women don't really reciprocate here.

So we have Valentines Day, Mother's Day, Secretary's Day. I know, I know, not enough lol

And now we see the reason for your subterfuge here. You just wanted me to bite so you could whip this one out of the recesses of your mind where, apparently, your version of me lives rent-free.

Thought secretary was a job rather than a gender?

As a matter of interest, do you plan to listen to Hakima's radio programme about International Women's Day?

Well, I have to say, torunn, Secretary's day may be falling out of favor these days, because it stereotypes women as secretaries.

Secretary’s Day falls on April 22. While Secretary’s Day was the original name of
this holiday, the more PC term “Administrative Professionals’ Day” is now preferred.

But I don't follow the latest in PC trends so I don't really know.

There are many men now who are secretaries. It was once dominated by women.

Same as some jobs that were considered male only jobs are being done by women.

This is why I have said in this thread women have made advancements. Of course it would be silly to say they are there yet, but it is better than it was even 20-30 years ago. The sex harassment may never disappear completely in our life time depending on your age. I know I will not live to see it.

Using apostrophes to signify plurals just reeks of jeans shorts and dirt driveways.

Just say no.
