The International Day of Women's Rights is coming up and I'm already feeling just a tiny bit apprehensive. While I believe that awareness raising is important, I resent the capitalist co-optation of a day that is anything but meant to make profits. My other caveat is inappropriate messaging that leads us to think it's about celebrating strong women in ways that actually silence them and wash over the real struggles that women are facing. And can we talk about why we cannot assume any universality of women's needs?
