The world is celebrating International Women's Day. So you know what that means. Lithuanian police officers are probably giving tulips to female drivers again. But an online feminist community called the School of Feminism has suggested another cool way to commemorate the occasion.
Posters. The organization uploaded a series of designs to the internet, listing some of the biggest achievements that societies' have earned in their quest towards equality. "Thanks to feminists, women can vote, work, abort [their pregnancies], divorce [spouses], wear pants, read any book [they like], use birth control, take out a loan..." Anyone who wants to use the posters can download and print out the designs or simply share them online.
"There are still many rights to fight for to achieve real equality between women and men around the world," School of Feminism concluded. "Let's keep up the fight."

Thank you to the pioneer women who pushed for the rights of women. I proudly stand as a woman knowing I have these rights because of them and their suffrage to get us where we are today
Have survived several marriages to men who demanded to have total control over every penny, and wanted to fight if I wanted to buy something with my own money. They are no longer a part of my life.
In a lot of tribes is was the women who hunted and women who were warriors too. Women's role in society as a worker has changed over the years for many reasons. Women went to work during war, because the men were not there to do it. Queen Elizabeth was a Mechanic during WWII.
Also thank LGBTQ+ movements, they made same sex marriage legal!! Not all women want to marry males. :)
Feminists is about giving women rights. The right to make a choice. It's not about picking a side on a controversial topic.
But a woman still can't walk around topless like a man can. Edit: I wasn't choosing sides, I was just pointing something out. And not because it's illegal or whatever but because women wouldn't feel safe doing so in places a man might be seen without a shirt.
Thank a feminist if you can have a bank account without a man co-signing for it. Thank a feminist if you have paid maternity leave/family leave. Thank a feminist for many things, but most of all, thank feminists for pushing to make rape a crime, and not a character assassination...
Thank a feminist that having children is not the ultimate goal for women and you can choose your own path in life and choose not to have children!
Culture still hasn’t stopped pressuring women to reproduce and be mothers as their purpose. It’s an incomplete win.
