We do not need boobs to show that we are women.

Starry Daniels is front news and I mean front. All we see are her huge boobs. She is the story we should be. NOT! We are fighting for our lives and we are just talking about boobs?


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 Women’s Day, which lands on Thursday, March 8, it’ll be purple.

Purple is the official color of International Women’s 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 women’s social, economic, and political achievements and to call for gender equality.

And given the variety of ways different nations celebrate the day—from marches to cultural outings—there’s not an obvious wardrobe choice. The official International Women’s Day website, IWD.com, has you covered there. It explains why purple is International Women’s Day’s shade of choice:

Internationally, purple is a color for symbolizing women. Historically, the combination of purple, green and white to symbolize women’s equality originated from the Women’s 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.

Do not fuck with us or belittle us. We are here.

I am 62 years old and never heard that before, but it makes perfect sense!

And that's a grand gesture for Mickey D's. Good job!

Needless to say, I am very confused and ready to give up on trying to color coordinate.

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

"breasts" - since "boob" has the definition of "a fool or stupid person."

Especially from women.

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.
