To me, International Woman's Day was meaningless. A Woman is no different from a Man, I believed, we don't need a special day. Till I realized others were not as fortunate. Women are not Inferior, but they are Oppressed. Today is for all those not as lucky as I.
A drabble is a story told in exactly 100 words.

So true!! It is a tragedy for sure! Women are oppressed and many need all the encouragement they can get!

In Denmark we may forget there are still things to fight for. Thanks for reminding us that women´s fight is not over - at least not everywhere.
And I hope my story today can also be seen as some kind of contribution, though ironic.
all we need to do is watch the news any night and see whether it is Libya or our own parliaments - hardly any women being shown - as if it were a world without them.
Thanks for the reminder dear woman!
Encouragement can be such a gift~

Rayna - You are so right! For any woman who is made to feel "less" because she is a woman, we all need to stand together in support.
There is still far, far to go. We must not forget that.
Women certainly aren't less. Just different in a really nice way!
I feel so angry when I think of all the oppressed women out there. It shouldn't be still happening.
There is far too much oppression in this world that must be corrected!
Thank you for reminding us Rayna. Women can do anything they set their mind to ...and are allowed to do.
We all need to be free to be the best we can be. No matter the race or sex. We all matter.
@ SueAnn - it is a tragedy many of us do not even know about. I know I did not know the magnitude of it tilll a couple of years back.
@ Dorte - what's worse is the fact that in countries like India, there are sections of society that do not even realise there is a problem, and sprout platitudes about what women have achieved. Yes they have done a lot, but there are so many who cannot.
@ Jan - in India, at least, we have women in government. And more to the point, there are women who refuse to vote the way their husbands ask them to.
@ Ella - easy to give, but quite meaningful in its own right.
@ Karen - you said it all :-)
@ Margot - many of us forget that just because we can do anything we want to do, all women can. They all can, but most will not be allowed to.
@ Debra - absolutely. We have come far, but nowhere near as far as we should.
@ Alex - true. Very true.
@ Majorie - maybe in another generation things would be slightlly better?
@ Jemi - totally.
@ Pamela Jo - we all do, don't we?
