I am going to be ill. All day I am hearing about Women's Day and how wonderful women are in the society and in the work place In all of the 25 years I worked, the environment was about 90% women, or nearly. It was wall-to-wall drama with trip wires everywhere. I have NEVER received decent treatment from female coworkers. They stole things from my purse, told lies about me, whispered together right in front of me, walked past my desk several times a week going to lunch and never ONCE invited me or even asked 'Can we bring you...

Hershey’s launched it’s HER for SHE campaign for international women’s day featuring trans woman Fae Johnstone and the internet brought out it’s blow torches and pointy hoods. People were so disturbed by the campaign that they took to twitter to do what people do on twitter, engage in constructive conversation. The Federalist, editor-in-chief, Mollie Hemingway, tweeted: “So @Hersheys is featuring a male in costume as a woman for its international women’s day ad campaign.” Conservative commentator, John Cardillo, tweeted: “This to me is the biggest problem. Women remain silent as they’re reduced to a costume theme.” The Federalist, co-founder and...

MEXICO CITY — Women filled the streets of the world's largest cities Sunday to protest gender violence, inequality and exploitation on International Women’s Day, with the mothers of murdered girls leading a march in Mexico City and participants in Paris inveighing against the “virus of the patriarchy.” While many protests were peaceful celebrations others were marred by tension, with security forces arresting demonstrators at a rally in Kyrgyzstan and police reportedly using tear gas to break up a demonstration by thousands of women in Turkey. “In many different ways or forms, women are being exploited and taken advantage of,” Arlene...

International Women’s Day arrives on March 8, and NBC Sports Network will celebrate by using an all-female crew to broadcast and produce game coverage of the St. Louis Blues vs. Chicago Blackhawks National Hockey League matchup. The game will mark the first NHL contest broadcast and produced solely by women in the US. Kate Scott (play-by-play) will call the action alongside US Olympic gold medalists Kendall Coyne-Schofield (Inside-the-Glass analyst) and AJ Mleczko (analyst) from United Center in Chicago, Ill. Kathryn Tappen will anchor studio coverage with three-time Canadian Olympic gold medalist Jen Botterill. Game production will be led by producer...

O n Friday morning I was sitting alone gumming a bowl of oatmeal in the breakfast area of a Hampton Inn in Pontiac, Illinois, when I was assaulted by an absurdity on the widescreen TV. There I was, calmly minding my own business, keeping my big mouth shut for a change, opening it only for the next scoop of tastelessness. Just then, a group of maniacs from the Today show ruined my tranquility by babbling obliviously and ecstatically about International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day? Seriously? Had I slipped back in time a hundred years ago to, er, Leningrad, March...

As part of International Women's Day (March 8), feminist protestors simulated a bloody abortion on a woman dressed as the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, outside the cathedral in Tucuman, Argentina. The protestors, according to Life Site News, which reported the incident in the English language press, cheered the fake abortion as symbolically killing "patriarchy" and "forced heterosexuality."

Trudeau using Canadian tax dollars to underwrite a global culture of death Did Sophie Gregoire Trudeau get away with providing cover for her husband Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s back in her ‘Let’s hear it for the boys!’ Instagram sent out on the eve of International Women’s Day? Gregoire’s jaw-dropping Instagram was said by mainstream media to have “set off a firestorm” among feminists on the march celebrating ‘A Day Without Women’ events.

Hillary Clinton posted a video on Snapchat on Wednesday, telling people to "stand up" and "resist" on International Women's Day. Sporting a new bob haircut and a red outfit, Clinton said in a brief message on the app: "Stand up. Resist. Run for office." In recent weeks, in the aftermath of losing the 2016 presidential election, Clinton has publicly preached "resistance."

Now you really know which commies are indoctrinating your children into Cultural Marxism eight hours every day, every school year Global civic demonstrations as practiced by young and compass-less anarchist hordes have become the latest expression of cultural Marxism, an “unseen plague which corrupted America” and now threatens the rest of the western world, including small, formerly communist countries that allegedly overcame Soviet satellite status. To understand why I use the term “allegedly,” you must understand the nostalgia of older generations, for the good ole simple days of communism, the longing for the days when they were dependent on the...

Even fewer women would participate if they knew just who was organizing this shindig. The next Women’s March, “the Day Without a Woman” is scheduled March 8. The group published a screed in the Guardian on February 6, advocating a “new wave of militant feminist struggle.” A co-author of that screed, Rasmea Yousef Odeh, is no stranger to militancy. She is a convicted terrorist.............. She. Murdered. Students.

The call from the Left is to “resist” a “Fascist America,” which is supposedly the direction the United States is taking under President Trump. Among other things, leftists regularly accuse President Trump and members of his administration of anti-Semitism. Yet one of the leaders of the “resistance” movement, and a co-organizer of the next women’s protest on March 8th is Rasmea Yousef Odeh, a convicted Palestinian terrorist. Odeh had participated in bombings in Israel nearly 50 years ago, one of which resulted in the killing of two Israeli students. Now she is advocating militant resistance in the streets of the United States. For...

For most American women beyond the age of high school gym class, “I’ve got my period” isn’t considered much of an excuse for anything. We’re meant to pop an Advil and get on with things, Red Devil be damned. But in several, mostly East Asian, countries, so-called “menstrual leave” is a legally enshrined right for female workers. However, as these countries attempt to move toward greater gender equality in the workplace, menstrual leave has come under debate. Do these policies simply further the notion that women are weak, hormonally-addled creatures controlled by their uteri? Or do they encourage more equality...

(CNN) -- I can't help but feel humbled and grateful when I hear the stories of women who marched for women's rights in the 1970s and the suffragists who fought for the right to vote. What they accomplished deserves more than a nod and lip service. We must honor them by making our generation's mark on the concerns facing women today. Unfortunately, that still includes goals we've fought too long for, like reproductive rights. Today is International Women's Day and March is Women's History Month. As we celebrate all that women have accomplished in the struggle for gender equality, we...

Is Yahoo celebrating lesbians today? The O's in Yahoo (top left of the page) morph into female symbols every so often.

All I can figure is the two o's at yahoo.com's homepage is supporting lesbians.

Not so long ago, the idea that women might rule the world seemed slightly ridiculous - like something out of science fiction. But in an essay to mark International Women's Day, political analyst and former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers argues it's now a topic that can be seriously discussed. Women clearly lacked the intellectual capacity and emotional fortitude to make the difficult decisions that leadership required. It wasn't bias, it was biology - it was just the way women were made. But that was then. In recent decades, attitudes and ideas have changed - and fast. That's...

When I think I can’t make it in a man’s world, Rosie the Riveter tells me something else. College isn’t a time filler for me. I have worked hard since I was a freshman in high school to be here. I never took no for an answer and I don’t plan on doing so anytime soon. I aspire to be a journalist after graduating in the Spring of 2014, but not just any kind of journalist. I want to create change and ignite a fire in the political world that can’t be stopped. I can honestly say that female role...

Executive Summary:On March 21, 2012, a group of Army mutineers appeared on Mali's national television station to declare that they had ended President Amadou Toumani Toure's regime and put in place the “National Committee for the Return of Democracy and the Restoration of State” (CNRDR). In the days following the coup, the leader of the CNRDR – Captain Amadou Sanago, a virtually unknown junior officer, has shown an inability to command discipline from his troops – who have looted the capital. The disappearance of President Toure and the factional infighting of the Army have made the country defenseless against AQIM’s...
