Anyone in Dublin who wants to mark IWD should come to the Feminist Walking Tour this Sunday (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/90888), organised by RAG, Choice Ireland and LashBack.
For a report of last years FWT on International Women's Day, see http://ie.indymedia.org/article/86643
Each time the 8th of March comes around, I as a man recognise the endeavour of named women in history and the unnamed women who have done as much as the named.
Regrettably in the society we live in, women who have the courage, carry on the quest for real equality... so as a man I salute you.
To the women who know their political status...I say this to you....Stand up and stand Proud on March 8th, and Remember your sisters who started you path of emancipation, and smile on International Women's Day!
Great stuff.
Now how about some solidarity for woman, such as Margaretta D'arcy languishing in mount joy for democratically protesting the US war presence in Shannon.
Or rossport protesters routinely jailed or bullied and threatened with rape by gardai
if you don't stand side by side with women in genuine need of solidarity when persecuted by the state then what good is such an impotent so called women's movement?
Womens rights still has a long way to go - when a woman gets interviewed or considered for employment the fact she may or may not have children or plan to have a family is considered,and more often than not she is cast aside for her male counterpart,that has been the case for a few women i know of that have suspected to be the case but could never prove it conclusively.
Usually you will find a woman in her critical years will never be taken on in employment.And i wondered was this true,exagerrated,or what?
So I had done some research into this online and came across various articles that say never employ an ovulating woman!!!!! This is the sort of attitude that is still around and allowed to flourish.
what about a woman with cancer put in prison merely for protesting?
or a woman kicked in her ovaries by shell's garda?
Or a woman previously pardoned by the queen then imprisoned without charge (marion price)
Any solidarity for these brave women?
