International Women's Day - 8th March 2009

IWD is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. The first IWD was run in 1911 so in just a few years time 2011 sees the IWD Global Centenary. In some countries like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, IWD is a national holiday ...

March 8th commemorates women's rights and peace.

I'll obviously start with the Feminist Manifesto:
Because a woman's work is never done

and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious

and we're the first to get fired

and what we look like is more important than what we do

and if we get raped it's our fault

and if we get beaten we must have provoked it

and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches

and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos

and if we don't we're frigid

and if we love women it's because we can't get a "real" man

and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy

and if we expect childcare we're selfish

and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine"

and if we don't we're typical weak females

and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man

and if we don't we're unnatural

and because we still can't get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon

and...for lots and lots of other reasons...

I am part of the women's liberation movement.
