Happy Day Dames

That cake looks yummy. I love cake.

But seriously, there's such a thing as International Women's Day? I mean, we make up half the world population and we only get a day? Weird.

I gues I'll cook tonight.

It's a socialist invention, boomer. (Proposed by a German, at the 2nd International Socialistic Women Conference, 1910, in Copenhagen: CLara Zetkin started up the first "International Women's Day" on 8 March 1911, launching the idea of it in Copenhagen, in what later became the Ungdomshuset.

So, don't worry ... but do have a piece of cake.
