It's the day were no one commemorates anything, except for historical defamations.

"But women died in a factory in the XIXth Century!!!!"

That would if anything mean it was a class-related problem, which wasn't more brutal than other incidents like the Santa María School massacre or the Congolese one (I initially had ideas to compare it to the Banana Massacre against men demanding payment in the XXth century, in fact).

That's actually an euphemism, the incident of women dying in a factory was, by far, less brutal than the aforementioned ones, it's a meme by comparison.

That's also an euphemism. I shouldn't even compare it to the Congolese one. Any atrocity by the English against Scottish and Irish people is a thousand times worse, without getting into the topic of Colonialism in Africa, comparing the incident responsible for the 8M to those atrocities is even a lack of respect to the victims of those events.

And since we're here: Who has been more massacred than the male worker by literally ALL the political ideologies? Any massacre by Nikolai II, Leopold II, Wilhelm II, Lenin, Makhno, Trotsky, Stalin, Hitler, Churchill, Mao, Pol Pot, Ulbricht, Honecker, Pinochet, Videla, Jaruzelski, Ceausescu, or the horrible labor conditions imposed by Rockefeller, Ford, Shell, Musk, or the repressions by Capone or Lansky and the mafia, was/were worse than what the 8M(eme) says to commemorate.

I know what some might say: "it's men oppressing each other". As if burgeois women or female rulers (like Thatcher, Queen Victoria or LaLaurie) were or did any better than the other examples I listed (the point of course being that the male worker suffers more in every condition. At least some women admit they don't want the same job or role but the same salary),

And those women are the ones people tend to talk the less about. And it's not because "erasing women" (since those people mention to no end women that contributed to science, technology, etc., [even if they are overrating them in the process] and the case of English queens disprove that [they were horrible rulers, but since they are english they are the "good ones"]), but because they don't want to give women a bad reputation.

Turkish sultans, Isabella of France (which also refutes the dystopia due to the context of it) and the Queen of Madagascar are never talked about. Elizabeth I of England is not forgotten (since she can be praised), and certainly historic women scientists and artists are not forgotten either (they are most of the time overrated in fact, and to the average user debating this those women would prove that women have contributed or can contribute as much as men, but with the examples I cited above they would constantly say those are "exceptions"); clearly society has in its worldview "Men = Bad; Women = Good" (demonstrated by the use of "other men" - the equivalent of "criminals killing other criminals") and actively wants to put women on a superior position, and this day (8M) not only proves that, but also serves to advance that bias even further.

With this and all the coverage the 8M has in the media and popular culture, it's basically an absurd religious celebration serving to display society's androphobia, misandry and gynophilia.
