Women's Equality Day

 Apologies to those who already read it on FB, but I felt like I should share here as well:

Today is Women's Equality Day, celebrating the fact that women were finally granted the dignity of full participation in our society. Yes, that right was granted by men... after women marched, protested, organized, went to prison, suffered force-feeding when they went on hunger strikes, and generally shamed enough men with power into doing what was right. Men may have held the pen that gave women the right to vote, but only after the actions of women put that paper there for them to write on in the first place.

Now, let's all remember to celebrate this on November 6th as well - get out and vote.
