International Women's Day
-
In this morning's email, I received a missive[^] from Microsoft lauding the accomplishments of female inventors. To say the least, they missed a few. They mentioned :rose:Ada Lovelace[^]:rose: :) , but missed others who are key to our industry :( :
- :rose:Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, Ph.D[^]:rose:
- :rose:Hedy Lamarr[^]:rose:

I'm sure Bruce Jenner is celebrating...

When is International Man's day? If it does not exist: Why not? Are women more special than men?
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Are women more special than men?
No. But nor are men more special than women. Unfortunately not everybody sees the world that way.
Quote:
It began as a massive protest by women who wanted better working conditions, better pay, and the right to vote. But since then, the holiday has evolved into a day of awareness on women's progress in the ongoing fight for gender equality, and a day to address issues across the globe that directly affect women.

Quite the other way around. Men get to vote, are allowed to have jobs, they get paid more for the same jobs, they get jobs easier, they are less often (sexually) assaulted, and they are overall taken more seriously than women. For some reason (*cough*religion*cough*) both men and women alike have oppressed women and limited their life's choices. It's time women got a little push in the back to close the social gap that, unfortunately, still exists between men and women. As I understood men are mean and sexist pigs and don't deserve their own day :D

From the limited comments I can read here, I now understand why there are not many woman in our field of work. :|
I'd rather be phishing!

Yeah, Cueball needs to send Joanna[^] to the lounge permanently.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

That one always confuses me. It implies that businesses are run by morons, because if women can do the same jobs for less money then surely employing only women would make profits soar. So I guess most business owners are morons.

Really? Isn't it the first woman who was created from the rib of a man therefore in debt to us? Or a woman who cast the first sin and expelled us from paradise? Fast forward to now, we had one political party who had a view that woman should not be able to have publicly leading roles (funny as it's the biggest party in my municipality and we have a woman for mayor, also funny as they also operate nationwide and we had a queen at the time :D). Anyway, it was a Christian party who followed their bible. They had to drop that view though as they were about to lose their government funding as our constitution forbids racism. Luckily our constitution weighs heavier than religion :D Wasn't it the church who forbade women from working as they should be at home raising kids? I won't even start about the rights of women in many Islamic countries. Mind you that this is all under the banner of religion (whether you think it's the true spirit of that religion is irrelevant). The opposite might be true, Christians for equal rights etc., but there is no denying that religion has been a source of hate throughout history and continues to be.

What word confuses you? :confused: To put that in perspective, entire countries are run by morons!
