You might have noticed it’s International Women’s Day. In fact, the month of March is Women’s History Month, and publications are busy putting together posts about myriad women’s issues.

There’s plenty to talk about, ranging from the amount of money women make and the positions they’re hired for, to how they’re educated, and the kind of health care they receive, even the way they’re taxed for tampons. It’s good to talk about serious issues affecting various segments of the population.

If all this rubs you the wrong way — sorry not sorry, but there’s a lot about gender equality that’s pretty messed up, including the idea that we can make good as a society one day or month a year. Is it positive to have a day about women to raise awareness about their achievements and struggles? Yes. Would it be better to treat people with equality the rest of the year? You bet.
