International Women's Day

8th March, International Women's Day. There have been events all over the world, London, Vancouver, Kandahar, to name but three, because women still suffer violence and discrimination the world over. Yes, those of us in the west have it way, WAY better than our sisters in countries where they have no life because of male control, but however far we have come, we are still not treated equally.
Traditionally female jobs are still lower paid, rape is still not taken as seriously as it should be. In South Africa recently, a woman was sexually assaulted for wearing a mini-skirt and onlookers laughed.

Women's writing, when identified as such, has to be twice as good as men's, women's research, again, when identified as such, is still rated lower than men's, sometimes turned down for publication.
Hillary Clinton has been persistently subjected to a long litany of misogynistic abuse.

The language itself is used against us and we are blamed for all the world's ills, from original sin to global warming, oh alright, in honesty I haven't yet seen us being blamed for global warming, but it'll come, you mark my words.
IF WE LET IT!!!!!
