Get Your Red Dress On!

[skirtyscot]

Sorry to hear about your Mum, Dave. It's good that you are able to take the long view of her life and her passing. There's only so long any of us can last.

It looks like you can look forward to a long life yourself, with both parents having made it past 90.

As for yet another women's health day, they do irk me. It sometimes seems like one day in four is earmarked as one. Breast cancer awareness days: can there possibly be anyone left on the planet who remains unaware of it? The corresponding men's days are fewer and less well publicised. Yet they live longer than us already; how about some extra help for the underdog?

In fact, I'm so annoyed by them that if my employer encouraged us to mark women's health day by wearing a red dress, I would turn up in a red skirt in protest!

That'd work. Or, just go along with them and wear one yourself. Heart problems affect everyone. So, keep it as a red dress day, but encourage males to wear one as well on that day, since guys also get heart disease.

Although I share the view that separating healthy initiatives by gender or sex is somewhat silly, unless it's pertaining to a part exclusive to one sex or the other (i.e. ovaries, testicles, etc), I will say that in light of your question, as much as it's hard to believe, and maybe not pushed in the media as much, men do have their day too.

Well, that makes the men's health / women's health ratio 1:51 weeks!

However, lest we forget that one sure fire way to help promote personal heart health is not to be bothered by little things like this.

Agreed; but it's difficult not to get riled up by the distinct bias when it seems so overt, just as we (may) encounter similar in wearing a skirt.

Resistance is futile; join the collective

OK, maybe I shouldn't goad you; but I always feel as though your "rants" (if that's the correct description), whilst heartfelt, remain emotively detached (i.e. you seem to keep your cool when others lose it!)

I thought you were self-employed? I like your idea though!
