Today is International Womens Day.
Here's why such a day is necessary.
I never wanted to be a girl when I was young. But it's not something you want to be, it's something you are.
My male privilege got revoked - but you know what? It was worth it, not to have to pretend.
Now all I can do is work to see that all women get a fairer shake. Including me.
Intermittent postings from Canberra, Australia on Software Development, Space, Politics, and Interesting URLs.
And of course, Brains...

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
Thanks for posting that. I'd caught a glimpse of it yesterday but not seen the full video.
