Women's International Day
Why You Should Wear Purple on International Women's Day
By Claire Zillman March 7, 2018
On Election Day 2016 it was white, at the Emmys it was black, and on International Womens Day, which lands on Thursday, March 8, itll be purple.
Purple is the official color of International Womens Day, founded more than a century ago after some 15,000 women marched in New York City to demand better working conditions and voting rights. The current iteration of the day is intended to celebrate womens social, economic, and political achievements and to call for gender equality.
And given the variety of ways different nations celebrate the dayfrom marches to cultural outingstheres not an obvious wardrobe choice. The official International Womens Day website, IWD.com, has you covered there. It explains why purple is International Womens Days shade of choice:
Internationally, purple is a color for symbolizing women. Historically, the combination of purple, green and white to symbolize womens equality originated from the Womens Social and Political Union in the U.K. in 1908. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, but is no longer used due to purity being a controversial concept. The introduction of the color yellow representing a new dawn is commonly used to signify a second wave of feminism. Thus purple with green represents traditional feminism, purple with yellow represents progressive contemporary feminism.

Seriously?Boobs make the woman? Not in my lifetime. Heart and character and an awareness make us a woman.

I have plenty of shirts with red in them, but not purple!

(8,389 posts)"breasts" - since "boob" has the definition of "a fool or stupid person."
Especially from women.

(4,492 posts)Along with a few other body parts, there are the casual/slang terms and then there are the clinical terms. Honestly most of the time I hear the word breast, it is referring to chicken.
I look it as the same way as the term buttocks, which is the clinical term. Most people use another term to refer to their rear end (butt, ass, rump, tush, booty, etc). At my last personal training appointment, I was asked what the goals for my butt were.
