Go Red for Women Day!

The newest crazy resolution: This measure would proclaim February 6, 2004, as "Go Red for Women Day" in California, and would encourage all Californians to wear red on that day, in support of those women whose lives have been touched by heart disease or stroke.

Although the assemblyman picked a great choice of color, red, I still don’t "get" this resolution. I mean, what about the lives of MEN who have suffered from heart disease and stroke? Do we care about them too? And what if we excluded women from a compassionate resolution like that, how many bra-burning feminists would be hoppin’ mad? Talk about gender discrimination.

It’s just like breast cancer funding. Far more men die of prostate cancer than women die of breast cancer. But why do we have so much federal funding and public awareness of breast cancer? Because it’s a women’s issue. And why do we have basically zero funding and awareness for prostate cancer? Because it’s a men’s issue.

I offer my sincerest apologies to the male species for the ego-centric female activists of the world and the politicians who pander to them.
