Happy Intergalactic Mens' Day to everyone!
It's not an official holiday, not yet, but if we can find enough men who want to feel special and enjoy being pandered to then maybe, just maybe, someday it could become an officially recognized holiday... or not, I really don't care.
With the spread of sexual diversity in the 12th millennia post Andromeda Apocalyptica, the Milky Way's governing body elected IMD as a way of recognising the new race of bipeds called humans who were desperate to differentiate themselves from the traditional cosmic androgyny.
IMD's an official holiday in some societies parts of the galaxy. Even in some societies where it's not an official holiday, it's customary for androgynous life forms to give flowers or beer or other gifts to the significant males in their lives.
At the upcoming interplanetary summit for equality for all life forms there will be keynote speech by the eminent authority on sexual and asexual differentiation Dr Liz Ard. Dr Ard is also publishing a white paper on the voting rights of reptilian eggs.

OOps, they are not the same in our solar system.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesNo, I was a bit confused until I went back to read it again. If you're an androgynous life form then apparently it doesn't matter what the gift is, because the distinction between genders isn't very well defined. And it could be that even they can't tell the difference... if there is any. 😛
That's a rhetorical question, right?
Originally posted by PonderableTrue. Communication is as effectively problematic as travel between various points within our galaxy, much more so than simply within our own solar system, and there are undoubtedly as many variations of time units that can be called 'days' as there are alien civilizations, but that's not really a problem because who's going to know if Intergalactic Mens' Day is synchronized to earth or not? We won't know because we can't know, but just for the heck of it let's say it is... and leave it at that.
