I just wished you a happy Women's Equality Day, which is a celebration of women's victory in the fight to secure equal civil rights. I'm unsure how you found this whiny or offensive.

I don't need to be congratulated over some made up day. thanks though. good grief, I lived in Northern Alaska for 15 years. saw temps down below -60 below zero. three months of total darkness and three months of 24 hrs of daylight. being a woman meant not much. being a strong human being. meant SURVIVIAL. and in my book that is what being a woman of Equality is all about. anyway thanks for the gesture. I tried to always Progress. not REGRESS back to times we have no idea about.

Okay then. I think it's pretty awesome we eliminated the ban on women's suffrage anyway.
