11 Important Women In History & Their Accomplishments (Women’s History Month)
This Woman Is Destigmatizing Menstruation After Lifetime Of Shame & Misinformation
“We are not meant to suffer, skip school or work because of cramping, bleed through a super absorbency tampon every hour, or have terrible mood swings just because we have a menstrual cycle. These are all things our society has normalized.”
‘I got on a plane alone with my firstborn and everyone praised me for my amazing parenting. All I did was hold him and feed him bottles.’: Dad urges ‘our wives deserve more credit’
“Despite how far we have come as a Western society, there are still very real differences in the lived experience for women and men. And our wives deserve far more credit for the wonderful women that they are.”
‘We are burnt out to a point of no return, just to keep up with this label of doing it ALL.’: Woman explains why modern ‘good wife’ is rooted in patriarchy
“She is encouraged to sacrifice, to ‘bounce back’ after carrying and birthing children, to be attractive, well kept, and still desirable by her partner and society. That’s IF she wants to be a good wife.”
‘I officially became a Girl Scouts troop leader, and I’m super excited about it! I know I’ll do just as good of a job as a woman.’: Single dad talks problems with gender role stereotypes
“Treating people right is about kindness and respect, not male or female. Raising children is about love and commitment, not mother or father.”
Why I’m Done Explaining My Decisions
“I’m through with unnecessary excuses and apologies and rationalizations for the choices I believe are best for ME.”
‘When I wear my Navy t-shirt, folks stop and say, ‘Thank your husband for his service.’ I AM the veteran.’: Female Navy veteran urges ‘we are equal’
‘I am the veteran, not the veteran’s wife. It’s time to go the next step and remove our unconscious bias.”
