We kind of agree with you. For example: Mother's and Father's day seem like obligations, especially for shitty parents.
If someone is a good parent, they do not need them. If they are not then it's just a way to force your children to give you things, submit to your authority and make you feel good about your shitty parenting.
I always learn when the Mother's day is a day before the holiday, and I have no idea when the Father's day is at all 😅
Like, parents have birthdays so I feel like these ones are kinda obsolete? Whatever, holidays are weird as hell!
Then celebrate the February revolution that day comrade
“Gendered holidays”?
Is Christmas female now?
I mean like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day
It boils down to "one part of the binary celebrates another part of the binary". You probably can see how it's a problem for a closeted trans person.
If it helps at all, where I'm at, it's known as 'day of the feminist fight'. And it's about commemorating the wins that feminism has already had but also marching and being angry at all the gender based discrimination that still exists. I as an nb personally love it. I know you won't be able to change how the day is viewed around you and how you're supposed to act on it, but maybe mentally you can see it as a feminist fighting day? Idk if that helps
Okay that makes sense.
Thanks!
Thanks to the first Deadpool movie, that holiday makes me think of pegging 😅
