Women's March takes to the streets of downtown Los Angeles

White women, did we invent feminism? No, but we take the credit. We made these caps.

Pink pussyhat riots and disorderly marches, why not? It's also Be Nasty Day. What better way toward progress than civil disobedience?

Fight the power. Buy the tee-shirt? DIY

Imagine a gender equal world: a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, a world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive, a world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge gender equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.

International women's symbol

International Women's Day (IWD) has been around for over a century, and now it's time to pack it up because women have achieved complete equality! 

No, many issues are still impacting women, holding back more than half the world. Since 1911, this day has been for all who care about women's equality.

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity.

Um, "all IWD activity is valid," really?

All IWD activity is valid -- burning bras, leading Law of Attraction manifestation workshops, attending pricey DEI seminars, sewing white flags and giving up, gaining weight until obese, knitting pink caps with little ears and marching for corporate sponsors, making posters, forming a Pussy Riot punk collective or skittle band and playing in a church without permission, getting doodle tats, filing lawsuits, turning into men and fighting for the other side, sitting at home depressed, watching Pearl videos, all of it (well, maybe not all, Pearl Davis must be stopped!) -- that's what makes IWD so inclusive.

Pearls of Wizdumb (or brilliant irony?)

Pearl believes she's helping women by being honest as she sees it, even if women hate it. She has become a rallying point for women against Pearl and her outrageous pro-male views in a patriarchal society. So if SHE believes, is that "valid"? If someone thinks s/he's helping, is that enough? Is that the standard? Men males are allies, whether all women are or not, whether females think so or not.

Pearl will not stop, so should she be stopped? - What about Whatever? There's no patriarchy?
