About Falafel & Cunnilingus Week

"The 'woke' alternative to Steak & BJ Day that's taking the internet by storm"
~ MSCNB News Tonight

"Steak and BJ Day" is a joke holiday in which women are supposed to give their partners steaks and oral sex as post-Valentine's Day gifts.

The 'holiday' has been criticised for being sexist and objectifying, and for not catering to vegan diets or non-heterosexual relationships. In 1998 "Falafel and Cunnilingus" day was launched as a feminist alternative.

During the week, couple celebrate their love in respectful and egalitarian ways, focusing on mutual pleasure and enjoyment, and sharing delicious and satisfying vegan food like falafel.

In contrast to "Steak and BJ Day", which reinforces traditional gender roles and reinforces the idea that women should provide sexual favours in exchange for gifts, "Falafel and Cunnilingus Week" is a celebration of equality and mutual respect. Partners are encouraged to communicate openly and honestly about their desires, and to prioritise each others pleasure and happiness.

By focusing on falafel and cunnilingus as two essential pillars of healthy relationships, "Falafel and Cunnilingus Week" is a celebration of healthy and consensual relationships, and a rejection of the objectification and sexism that often plague traditional notions of romance.
