We persist, sisters.Star

The company I work for is running a free day just for women today. No waffle about anyone who identifies etc.

I’m very heartened. And I’m wearing my WAHF t shirt to work today as well 🤣

Lottapianos · 08/03/2022 09:52

Same to you 😊 to be honest, I'm worn out with all these celebration 'days' and 'months' and ignore most of them, but this is definitely one I can get on board with!

Flowers to all you excellent women.

I have to say though I'm really not feeling it this year.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2022 10:16

Same here, but happy IWD to all the wonderful women fighting for women's and girls' rights across the world Thanks

Happy International Women's Day.
Have you noticed the colours of the Mumsnet logo today?

Just spotted it now.

Emma Barnett was just currently holding Anneliese Dodds' feet to the fire with "what is a woman?" in the section of Woman's Hour talking to politicians about IWD. Dodds was unable to answer the question beyond "well, it depends...".

Happy IWD you wonderful wimmin of Mumsnet, more vipers please ThanksGin

FoxyFoxyLoxy · 08/03/2022 10:34

I've just seen someone on FB posting pics of her daughters with a blurb about raising women and the hashtag #supportyoursistersnotjustyourcisters. Hmm x 1000.

Happy International Women's Day to all the other human adult females out there.

Monitaurus · 08/03/2022 10:34

IWD is a protest, not a party. However strength to all of the vipers here.

thought my eyes were a bit wonky... glad you lot are seeing it too..

DisgustedofManchester · 08/03/2022 11:02

Its a national holiday in 27 countries as well, mainly ex soviet republics. More likely that International Men's Day is made a holiday in England though maybe Scotland and Wales would add it.

DomesticatedZombie · 08/03/2022 11:04

Ah, I did wonder how many posts before someone came along to bring up the menz.

RoseslnTheHospital · 08/03/2022 11:07

It's great to see so many websites highlighting stories about women, but it always disappoints me that, come tomorrow, it will be back to business as usual.

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 08/03/2022 11:07

Happy IWD to you all!

Lessyuck · 08/03/2022 11:45

Happy IWD everybody

Is that why the Mumsnet M has changed to purple and green or has it always been like that?

Was going to start a new thread just to ask but thought I'd search it first and found this thread...

Lessyuck · 08/03/2022 11:46

Ah, thankyou@DomesticatedZombie

Women are amazing.

I wish a happy, fearless IWD to my sisters here and around the world ♀️
