Steak & BJ Day Date in the current year: March 14, 2024

The person credited as the creator of Steak & BJ Day is radio DJ Tom Birdsey. He is said to have coined the term in 2002, during a snow on WFNX radio station in Boston, Massachusetts. On this day, women are allegedly supposed to cook (or order) a steak for, and give a blowjob to, a man in response to flowers, chocolate and postcards they received on Valentine’s Day.

However, there’s little evidence that Steak & BJ Day is observed in reality. It is rather an Internet meme than an actual holiday, and a quite offensive one at that. The observance has been described as anti-feminist and patriarchal. A lot of people are convinced that it is the embodiment of male privilege, whereas others think that it’s just a celebration of food and sex.

The British tabloid newspaper Metro suggested that women who think that Steak & BJ Day is sexist celebrate Chicken and Licking Day, a similar holiday specifically for women, on March 15 or March 21. (If you ask us, both holidays actually sound awful.) Another female counterpart to the holiday is Cake and Cunnilingus Day, observed on April 14.
