On Woman´s Day

Tweet

So today it is Woman´s Day everywhere. Cheers and hugs for everyone who wants it. I, myself, have mixed feelings for this day. I see people in the streets selling a red rose for the employers to give to their women employees. They think a lot of themselves mouthing a special good morning to them at their job. But I wonder why don´t they have a little more respect for their employees (women or otherwise). Why does it have to be something that is remembered once a year and the rest we see women underpaid that have to work extra hours without extra payment. While it is true that some things have changed, I think that there is a lot to change so that we can really say that we all are born equal. We still have cultural, religious and racial problems that mean that some people have little or no rights. This day it has to do with genre. But wouldn´t it be better if we asumed that everyone has the same rights, be it men, women and the several other genres that have lately "come out of the closet" (How I loathe those words: why should a human being have a need to hide in order to survive!). A rose, a red one, for everyone.
