How are we going to celebrate Women's Equality Day August 26? ?

Question

On August 26th 1920 the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified. Since 1971, when Congress authorized it, August 26th has been celebrated as Women's Equality Day.

This year is the 160th Anniversary:

It was the culmination of a 72-year-long civil rights movement that originated at the world's first women's rights convention held in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Several generations of women's suffrage supporters wrote, lectured, marched, and lobbied to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change to the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see victory in 1920.

Answer 1

Honestly, I'll probably never think about it come next Tuesday.  I didn't know it existed until just now.

Answer 2

No, because that makes the gender gap wider, and we are trying to close that gap.

It's great that we have equality, but to celebrate it flounces that women seem to be more equal than men.

"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

That's exactly what that day is imposing.

Answer 3

could women stop talking for a week, as an idea off the top of my head. would that do?

Answer 4

Beer and a night out man objectifying?

...or how about continuing the fight for the women who still dont have rights

Answer 5

I am not American, so it seems likely that I will celebrate my fiance's birthday and totally ignore yet another "Fill in the Blank" Day that lobby groups and social engineers love so very much

Answer 6

Celebrating a day that women got equality doesn't sound equal to me.

Edit: I think we should celebrate this one instead Prof, much more of an important event;-D

Answer 7

I'll be celebrating by doing a ton of research all day to find out everything I can about whoever Obama announces as his running mate the night before at the DNC. Can't wait!

Come November I'll know that research wasn't just for informational purposes and I owe it all to them.

Great post.

Answer 8

A short silence for those who didn't see it is enough. No need to make a party out of it. There's too many of those and they become meaningless.

Answer 9

I think we should pass around pink & purple cupcakes!
