Happy #InternationalWomensDay. Here's to the women across the world fighting male violence and harassment, for reproductive rights, for equal pay, for universal childcare, healthcare, and other services, against cuts which disproportionately hit women, and for LGBTQ rights ✊🏻✌🏻

It's international women's day. Why is he mentioning LGBTQ rights specifically? If he wanted to be intersectional, why hasn't included race, disability, age or religion?

Because to OJ it cant be "just" about women.

Predictable unfortunately.

How I feel about McKinnon is how the characters on Friends felt about Phoebe's boyfriend Roger.

International Women's Day is fast turning into day most likely to set feminist me into a rage day

The twitter comments are quite predictable.

My daughter's school has had a visit from the local female MP and also a transgender advocate (male) for international women's day.

There are photos of them on the school's Facebook page.

My finger is hovering over the comments box.......

The CBS comments are great. They're getting ratio'd.

Why is he mentioning LGBTQ rights specifically? If he wanted to be intersectional, why hasn't included race, disability, age or religion? Or, like, maybe lesbians? If he wanted to mention sexual orientation based rights today, it should be lesbian and bisexual women's rights.. but it's just not cool these days to talk about the actual women in LGBT is it??

Umm, International Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event occurring on March 31. So RM, get out of OUR goddam day. One day for women, and that person gets centered, OMG.

RM also shat on Mother's Day, as I recall. And RM gets a platform on IWD. This world is so fucked up.

RM has been teaching business ethics? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
