Congratulations—Friday is International Women’s Day! As a woman, you must be so pleased to be recognized.
In this day and age, when everything is so polarizing, it’s really hard for progressive, multinational corporations like ours to know just when and how to take a stand. But this day is important to us. And while some might say that coming out in support of International Women’s Day is a bold move—even a controversial one — we are willing to stick our necks out to show solidarity with half of the world’s population.
As some of the world’s biggest companies, we are doing many things to honor you on this day.
First, please take a sticker from our bank. Wearing this sticker is a great way to show that you are a woman, or support people who are women. It’s unacceptable that American women make 80.5 cents for every dollar earned by men — and this gender pay gap is particularly wide in the international finance industry, where some banks pay women up to 44 percent less on average. Wearing a sticker while walking around our bank is a great way to remind people — for free! — that women in our industry should be paid more by someone.
Have you checked out what our male engineers have been up to on the internet? Did you notice our doodle? Just for one day, the two O’s in our logo have been transformed into ovaries to honor your contribution to the world. We love you and your empowered ovaries. Women in Japan, Germany and Taiwan, we particularly honor your ovaries, and would love to support you in using them even more to help offset your declining populations. (Not that we’re saying that’s your fault.)
It’s not just your ovaries that we’re celebrating. We

Meh.
It’s just another day, here.
:D

Hey Jessica! Shaddap and make me a sammich!
So I went to Google and checked out the endless logo thingy.
Most of the ‘sayings’ made no sense.
The rest were just stupid.

I’ve already sent my regards to IWD.......a very loud Bronx cheer and 2 thumbs down........;)
In Russia, it’s like a combination of St. Valentines Day and Mother’s Day. It is not a celebration of feminism.

YES!!!!.........lol
You can’t even ~see~ it from National Dog Day.
Only feeble minded people need constant emotional reassuring and motivational messaging. Men don’t.
Must be a big day at the Mustang Ranch.
Just another stupid day celebrating commie idiots. That and marketing stuff.
Yup.
YOU DID GOOD VERY GOOD.
When’s International Law Abiding Armed Citizen Day?
There was another line or two on the picture where she said she’ll take this sucker home and remedy some situations or words to that effect.
My first thought was how cool to be ranked right up there with National Squirrel Day. I’m trading in my day today for another Chocolate Day.
At least there is no mistake about gender if the right people wear their stickers. In the case of those who don’t, there may be some mistakes made.
