Today we have an observance which originates and is observed primarily in Tunisia.
I was in Sousse, Tunisia around 1977 and the place is hot, dry, and dusty until you get to the resort areas where it suddenly transforms into a pleasant change of pace with cool offshore breezes and a multitude of friendly scantily dressed European women hanging out all over the place ...
We ended up camping out ashore when the water surrounding the ship became too rough to take a whaleboat to moor alongside.
I have to say that after a few minutes initial trepidation there really a lot to be said for sleeping on a dusty carpet in a grand ballroom. I have to say it wasn't all that bad in retrospect. At least I slept like a log.
Today is Women’s and Family Day. The Tunisians hold it each August 13 and is a celebration of women's rights though their adoption of the Code of Personal Status.
This code was adopted January 1, 1957 and has had several ammendments since then.
I see it as a day we can celebrate here as well. Women and family are something that I hold as both important and dear to my heart.
This gender equality stuff is overrated however when you present your case as stupidly as do the feminists of the United States. Take your crayola primary red, blue, and green hair color and go choke yourselves with your pussy hats stupid American feminist women.
Be all of this as it may I hope you have a good day and celebrate this notion of women and family as often and as well as you can.
