Today is “Galentine’s Day.” It was coined by the show “Parks and Recreation” a few years back. It’s basically a day where women celebrate their girlfriends. Y’know. Before Valentine’s Day.
“Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies,” Amy Poehler’s character Leslie Knope explained.

Seems harmless enough right? Wrong. Feminists have turned the day into a feminist rallying cry. Because uteruses before duderuses, or something.
Happy Galentine's Day to all the gals. You are all noble, poetic land mermaids. Every one of you. *smooch* #galentinesday pic.twitter.com/bZIZqOBum3

How come feminist celebrations of women always involve 1.) Man bashing and 2.) Constant mentions of reproductive organs? Can’t they praise their female friends without whining about the patriarchy or talking about vaginas? I don’t get it.
I’m so glad I don’t have any insane feminist friends.
