Instead of gimmicky sales and events that feature only corporate leaders, organisations that observe IWD should spotlight a wider range of women and celebrate their stories more genuinely.When I first got to know of International Women’s Day (IWD), I was in secondary school. It felt so amazing to know there was a day meant to celebrate women, shed light on the complex issues they faced daily, and support women from all walks of life in various ways. Lately, however, that rose-tinted view...

Macy Maxson did not intend to become a lightning rod pushing back on the gender ideology agenda that has infiltrated so much of society—even feminine hygiene products. But when Maxson founded Garnuu, a tampon subscription service, in 2022, she chose to affirm biological reality. “From the beginning,” Maxson says, she decided her company would stand firm on the fact “that only women can get periods.” After Maxson launched Garnuu, rival Tampax started using transgender activists, such as Dylan Mulvaney, to promote its products. Maxson said she watched as other tampon companies began moving away from feminine branding and word choice...
