International Women's Day

Women are kick ass. It's a fact, and if you don't realize that just hop off my blog. We make up about half of the world's population, no big deal. We resupply the world with tiny kick ass boys and girls, but eh, whatever..

It's about time we go some recognition. Yeah, there's mother's day. But that focuses on how amazing we are at raising kids and taking care of the home, *cough cough* themes instilled by the patriarchy. A day to recognize how frickin awesome women are was much needed.

So many celebrities have spoken out on International Women's Day, and it's so amazing. Women, men and teenage stars are speaking up about the recognition that the billions of women around the world need but rarely receive.

Matthew McGorry, an incredible actor and activist posted on his Instagram about International Women's Day! Matt McGorry is frankly, a dream guy. He's handsome, which is a plus, but looks aren't the only thing that matters. He's talented, in Orange Is The New Black and How To Get Away With Murder. But most of all, he's a feminist!!! A male feminist, how crazy?! Who knew they existed? He's pro-choice, pro-woman and speaks up about what he believes in and wants to fight for.

Women are amazing. We carry tiny humans in our bodies for 9 months. Without a woman, you wouldn't be reading my amazing blog! So many women are taken for granted. Women are so incredibly strong.

"Why isn't there an International Men's Day?" Stupid question, every other day is a man's day. The last 2,000 years have consisted of men being worshipped and placed on a pedestal. It's annoying. Annoying how easy it is for people to forget history. To forget that men have constantly been on top. Feeling threatened by a day for women makes you look weak, and portrays an egotistical snob instead of a caring individual who respects the women in their life.

International Men's Day can actually be celebrated on November 19th.

Recognize the single moms. Recognize the working mothers who are married. Recognize your mother, your sister, you grandmother and your wife. Be a #HeForShe and be a #SheForShe because the only way we can achieve equality is by working together.

stay peaceful (and celebrate International Women's Day)!!
