Mná na hÉireann, I am proud to be one of you

International Women’s Day is next Wednesday and I’m already wondering who will be the first person to ask me, ‘Well, when is International Men’s Day?’ 

The temptation to answer that every goddamn day is International Men’s Day is overwhelming but for the more pedantic among you, its official date is November 19.

Following this witty repartee (oh, the trolls are so clever! I bet they ask about ‘White History Month’ every February as well), I will, no doubt be reminded of how easy Irish women have it in comparison to women living in Saudi Arabia.
