Interesting take on women's day:
The notion of “celebrating” women’s day (or the whole month) has always struck me as a rather odd and, to a large degree, an unproductive one. Not because s*x and gender are not experienced as real by people (despite s*x and gender being cultural constructions) or because patriarchy is not deeply oppressive and harmful to all of us (but most acutely to women), but because it is unclear how these often sentimental and patronising celebrations will actually disturb or challenge destructive and dominant male power in our society.

Rolihlahla Nelson Mandela is being globally honoured today. Today is his 95th birthday and he is tenaciously holding on. He has been a symbol of hope and the epitome of what a true statesman is.
The site www.mandeladay.com states that, “The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere. “Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day.”
Individuals and organizations are free to participate in Mandela Day as they wish. We do however urge everyone to adhere to the ethical framework of “service to one’s fellow human”.
Colleagues here walked around the office park for 67 minutes. The participants paid R67.00 to be part of the walk. The R67.00 will be donated to an appointed charity.
Some South Africans see Nelson Mandela as a sellout who sold the black people’s birthright for a mess of pottage appeasing the white population of South Africa who were absolutely against change. Some see Nelson Mandela as a statesman who was able to harmonize the discordant sounds of a population who had never walked in each other’s shoes.
Some of the gifts a statesman possesses is to have vision and the ability to build a consensus to achieve that vision. At the time Nelson Mandela took over as South Africa’s first president, the majority of the population wanted peace. I know, at 18, I didn’t want to end up in a desolate land ravaged by civil war. For me that was a real fear, especially when we were sent to a small Afrikaaner community by the IEC to help supervise the first all race elections in South Africa. I was grateful to people like Nelson Mandela who made sure that peace prevailed. As he expressed himself, he’s no saint. But he and others have accomplished much more than most of us will in our lifetimes.
Today as ordinary men and women may we take the time to see and serve each other as fellow humans.
Just my hurried thoughts
