Women's Equality Day

Yesterday was the 88th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution affirming women’s right to vote. In 1971 Congress designated August 26 as Women’s Equality Day.

Apparently we missed it. But what is funny about this is I just got an email today from our office in Washington letting us know they are having a program for it today. I love the government! Always a day behind.

1) They probably forgot too and threw together a powerpoint on baking techniques and getting tough stains out, followed by coffee and donuts.

3) Well, then today we shall celebrate our right to vote and our movement towards other equalities. We're not quite there yet.

8) Come on, Meg. I know you're a flaming liberal. ;)

I suppose I celebrated yesterday by not cooking dinner.

9) well - I guess I celebrated yesterday the same way - by not cooking - LOL

I'll ignore that "flaming liberal" jab - LOL Is there such a thing as a conservative hippie?

10) if there is than you're it : )

I celebrated by taking care of my child's every need, cleaning the house and making 3 square meals. I didn't get the memo.

11) Isn't equality what you want it to be and need it to be? Seems everyone did their part by being themselves and not being determined by others be it dress, attitude, or convention. It should be being paid the same for the same job but we all know that doesn't happen. Or being respected by some managers who seem to think guys know more and should be listened to more. NOT that I have a boss like that. :)

12) Makes me glad I don't have a boss anymore, and if you ask my kids who's in charge around here, it's a resounding "The Momma!" HA!! Oh, and I made dinner, as well, yesterday...and lunch and breakfast and two snacks.

13) I celebrated by bringing home take out. Sweet! The equal pay issue makes me boil. Also, I work with a lot of people in the construction industry and fabricators and sometimes I get some really awful comments. They assume that my vagina impairs my ability to understand how things are put together. It is very irritating.

14) Oh no - you used the word vagina out in the open - it might make the men squirm - LOL

17) Meg,

18) LOl - i think it is funny - no apologies necessary - after all it is (was) Women's Equality Day and if men can talk about their penis and expect women to not cringe - well - we should talk about vaginas all we want!

19) I celebrated by working yesterday in a place that is male dominated. My vagina seems to threaten the balance and harmony in a place full of hardware.

20) I tend to think of "conservative hippie" as libertarian leaning. =)

21) I got to spend my day teaching teenagers and my night doing the dog and pony show for their parents. And I like to call her "my girl."
