She: Oh Man! That time of the year is nearing ☹
He: What, performance appraisal?
She: no…
He: financial year ending?
She: nah…
He: confused and brooding?
She: International Women’s Day 8th March...
He: Oh Woman! Let's celebrate😊
She Feels:
I don’t need any quota on governing bodies to prove I can govern!
I don’t need reservation in legislation to lead my region, state and nation!
I don’t need any quota in education to prove my intelligence!
I don’t need reserved zones in public transports to feel protected!
I don’t need quota in jobs to work and feed my family!
I don’t need a day to celebrate my existence and achievements!
I don’t need any period leave …period!
I AM HUMAN.
What I need is Equal opportunity and Respect. That’s all it takes!

Thanks Rocky Lagou
That's just as it should be, equal rights and opportunity for all.
Shouldn’t have to be said but there is still a long way to go……
Well said maybe a new internet trend might develop of “Alice simply says….”
