steak and a go F*** yourself day
Today, in Japan, is ‘White day’, a (fairly recent) tradition in which men reciprocate to the gifts they received on valentine’s day with gifts of white chocolate (or is it the other way around, I forget). It’s a painfully unnecessary holiday that smacks of a society where individual expression is so daunting that even tokens of affection must be regimented… but that’s material for another post.
In this country some bright spark has decided to dub the 14th of March as “Steak and a blowjob day” the idea being for women to reciprocate all the hard work that men have to do on valentine’s day with a steak, and a blowjob.
That sentence makes me want to spit blood. Firstly valentines day is (to my mind) pretty reciprocal anyway, and even if it isn’t, what on earth makes you think that making a restaurant reservation and picking a card/ordering something from interflora is such a terrible burden that it needs special recompense? How jaded and cynical must your relationship be if you’ll only do these things in tit-for-tat fashion?
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against steaks and oral sex. I deeply love both (although dental issues makes one of these more of a sometimes thing for me) in fact I’d say that they are two of the high points of existence!
Which is why ‘Steak and a Blowjob’ day really pisses me off. It perpetuates the idea that these things are somehow undesirable, that the only circumstances in which someone will do them is because they’re being shamed/forced into it.
Three words.
Fuck That Shit!
I want to have steak and oral sex all the fucking time… I can’t because of, well, finances/dental issues/life in general. I know there are those who don’t. That’s fine, vegetarianism is something even I dabbled with, but I’m not going to try to make it into something negative and ‘dirty’ that’s snorted about like a nine-year old school boy.
God forbid people might have the sex they want, when they want, with who they want, and because they want to, and yes sometimes that may include putting someone else’s genitals in your face because you think it’s hot as hell to do so.

Can’t say anything good about this “Steak and a blowjob day,” but White Day makes as much sense as Valentine’s day. It seems strange to say “It’s a painfully unnecessary holiday that smacks of a society where individual expression is so daunting that even tokens of affection must be regimented… ” when that’s exactly what Valentine’s Day is…
I agree valentines day is equally pointless (not that I think I can get away with ignoring it) but regimenting it to the point where group A expresses affection on this day, and group B may ONLY return affection on this specific date, IF AFFECTION ALREADY RECEIVED FROM GROUP A on this particular date… jsut seems to take the silliness one step further 😉
