International Women's Day was started in 1911 and a lot has changed since then. Notice, for instance, the comic on the left. Why, these days Lois would just use her cell phone to call Superman.
Harriet Beecher Stowe said that "Women are the real architects of society" and she should know, since she started the Civil War. I am glad for the positive changes in women's roles over the years, and I know that many of the people who have had the most profound impact on my life have been women. There's still work to be done, for sure, before there is true equality in our society, but I think we're still headed in the right direction.
As a little IWD treat, here's my first ever published article, written in a moment of anger when someone said something demeaning about the role of women in spiritual leadership. Please enjoy "Estrogen Dampens the Holy Spirit."
And Happy International Women's Day to all the women out there. We're thankful for you and appreciative of your many contributions to society and making life better.
Inappropriate use of a signal watch is comparable to calling 911 when McDonalds screws up your order. She's lucky Superman didn't x-ray her into a puddle of quivering goo right there on the sidewalk.
ReplyDeletePaul, you think a broken heel is not a dire emergency? Have YOU ever tried to walk in a pair of high heel?
