Women’s History Month Pisses Me Off [View all]



Women’s History Month pisses me off.

So does Black History Month.

I move to call all of the other months “White Male History Month.”

And let’s continue pretending that black people, all women and anyone who isn’t a white man are a mere side dish of American history.

Have you ever wondered why African-Americans and women get a whole month dedicated just to them? It sounds kind of cool. Wow!! A whole month!!!

What a crock.

These *special* months exist because the primary focus of American history centers around white men. Granted, this country has been run by a white male majority since its birth – and certain white men sure do like it and wish to keep it that way.
