women's equality day

[keryx]

Today is "Women's Equality Day". Which actually celebrates a specific milestone: the passage of the 19th amendment in the US (guess they couldn't think of a catchy name for that). The brilliant hazelearth posted a collection of educational links.

In other news, I was proselytising about Victoria's Secret enforcing the idea that appearance is important (more fun from feminist) earlier, but just now almost called someone 'lovely', which in a teeeeeny way implies appearance focus, too. It's only one of the million mostly more significant ways I'm on that particular bandwagon [The vast number of VS bras in my closet don't escape me, kids!], but it's frustrating not being able to live up to your own ideals seconds after you espouse them.

i'll grant you a pardon this week. the massive influx of idiot student questions is enough to make anyone act like a bubble-crashing wank. :)

Not many of us do this perfectly:) Although I do try hard to live up to my own expectations:)
