• Men's History Month

  

  March, as most of you probably know, is Women's History Month. It is a month in which people, mostly women, celebrate the role women played in history. Of course they have a lot of accomplishments to be proud of and deserve the honor, but I want to know where the Men's History Month is. No disrespect meant, but men probably played a greater role in history. In fact, a month is probably too little to adequately respect the phallic role in the history books. Gavrilo Princip, the man who shot Archduke Ferdinand and effectively started World War I, was male. Adolf Hitler, who was famous for various deeds, was a male. Leonardo Da Vinci, the inventor of every single thing ever created including the toaster and the supercomputer, was male. Jesus Christ was, reportedly, male. The Egyptian pharaoh Cleopatra... would not have been as important had it not been for the male Alexander the Great (middlename: Reginald). Bill Nye the Science Guy, who played an important role in educating the young minds of today, is male. Clearly, men need an entire year dedicated to them. Lets just go ahead and make every leap year Men's History Year. That should work well for everyone.
