Women's Equality Day
 |
Yes, I remember those history lessons of women's sufferage and rights to vote as well as those 'would have been' assigned roles of the 1950s and 1960s whereby some subserviant assumption was made toward the role of women in society —
But those days passed long before I hit the job market and women have always been equal to me in every facet of what I've ever done and I've had to answer to entirely TOO MANY stupid women over the years.
Most of these were in the field of Education. They couldn't hold a stick to me in the technical realm.
That equality problem stems from those thought patterns in the workplace whereby the men are thinking about those tasks before them and too many of the women are thinking about cooking dinner and going out, the antics of children, and home maker roles at work.
None of that ever was an issue for me but I observed it nonetheless.
So ... today we have Women's Equality Day. It is observed in the US each August 26 to mark the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibitiing state and federal governments from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.
It all began in 1973 (the year I graduated from high school). Each year the President of the United States proclaims it's ocurrencee yet again.
