You are all right. We should be celebrated every day
Why I hear you ask?
On one level you desire us and we offer you a certain magic you crave, a something you cant articulate. That is, worth celebrating.
Ill tell you once and once again
But I dont have to
Its im my touch
Its the way i look at you
My quirky smile
My dirty laugh
The care i give
My careless reackless hedonistic ways
My quiet introverted days
Its that certain something you cannot be without
However..how did half the global population end up with this one day. Take it away my Russian aunties. I do believe women were recognised my Lenin for the role the played in the revolution. Bread and communism. To be celebrated on March 8th in the gergorian calendar
Its definatley political in its origins and women
In my opinion its a day that needs to be kept and honoured.
Its for all the sisters who have their rights stripped away. From Iran to Afgahnistan they cant show hair or face
Its,for those giants of the movements thst have granted us civil rights and equality.
I dont take you for granted
Im proud to stand on the shoulders of
Emeline Pankhurst
Mary Wollstonecraft
Ada Lovelace
Wi Yu
Rosalind Franklin
Anne Wojcicki
Frida Khalo
Our very own Golda
Mary Seacole
Kate Bush
George Eliot
Marie Stopes
Lilly Parr
Elizabeth Fry
Boudica
Margret Beaufort
Jane Goodall
Grace Hopper
The list goes on. Trailblazers all of them
Yet. Today womens voices are silenced
Rights eroded
Safe spaces taken away
Rapes denied
Not by you or me
But its there
So International Womens day remains a cause of celebration
A reminder that we matter. Not just to the man who makes you quiver but to the world we in habit
