Quit whining, return to basics on success card of women’s liberation

Ever since Women’s Day on Friday, my mind has been on wandering self-reflective mode with no clear destination or conclusion in sight. As we all know, International Women’s Day (IWD) has become a big deal complete with glamorous hash tags. I am willing to bet in a few years, IWD will be such a big deal that we will have a public holiday. Looking at women today with their swag, colour and confidence, it is hard to imagine there was ever a time they were not allowed near steering wheels, bank accounts or voting booths.

In the spirit of feeling progressive and celebrating all the woman that I am I joined a number of women events which featured various panel sessions to discuss women. At the end of day, I walked away feeling hollow, with a funny anti-climax feeling.
