<p>International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.</p>
<p>Even Bush and Condoleeza have something to say about it...

<p>This day is being celebrated around the world, but it is up to us not to let people forget how far we've come and how far we still have to go. </p>
<p>While the wage gap has yet to be closed, I think that if anyone has a shot at it, it's us! </p>

<p>why is he mad because his birthdays the same day as International Women's Day?</p>
<p>doesn't really matter does it?...seems something horribly petty to be obsessing over...</p>
<p>No it doesn't really matter. I had never even heard of the holiday until I saw it on a news show, so I just had a laugh about it. </p>
<p>He just found it annoying. I dunno why. I just found it amusing.</p>
<p>This is just some crazy feminist holiday. I declare it to be non-existent.
Let's start widening that gap again.</p>
<p>Why does everyone say "feminist" like its a bad thing? </p>
<p>Not all of us are evil man-haters.</p>
<p>Because it is a bad thing.</p>
<p>the definition of feminism (Webster's):</p>
<ol>
<li>Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.</li>
<li>The movement organized around this belief.</li>
</ol>
<p>the definition of a feminist isn't limited to the extremists....actually, according to the generality of the statement, most people are expressedly feminists.....if you believe that men are superior to women and that such superiority should be obvious in society and politics...then you're not a feminist...but considering women aren't inferior to men in an intellectual or social sense....it's my opinion that that's a pretty irrational belief</p>
