Happy International Women's Day, everyone!
Last year, I happened to mention the day at choir rehearsal, and one of the men trotted out the tedious "Why isn't there an International Men's Day?" I was just about to respond, when one of the other men sighed, rolled his eyes, and said, "Because every day is Men's Day, or hadn't you noticed?"
I like it when people are aware of their privilege.
