it is international women's day, not american women't day. i guess that escaped your notice.
things are far from where they should be. are things better here than elsewhere? yes. are they great? not necessarily. are we sliding backwards in some cases? absolutely. you bring up a valid point tho. in many areas of the world, women aren't treated as second class. they are treated far worse than that, as chattel, as property, as dispensable, as inhuman. it's got to stop.
