6. Promoting an important issue like Feminism is all about the narrative.

That's where the conservatives possibly have an advantage, they are telling a story, albeit a false one.

But I learned the narrative at my mother's knee, and I was born in the 1940's. so I have always been a feminist, in spite of my male gender.

And stories about real people are compelling, even transforming. That's why I will sometimes post such things here.

On a day celebrating women, I cannot think of a better way than to relate the stories of women whose history have somehow passed through the cracks of popular culture.

I am disappointed that others here do not see the advantage of such a tactic.

Women have been part of history since the beginning of history. There are many stories of them, from centuries before Hypatia to the modern day.

Feminism is all about those narratives, which I learned at my mothers knee, which is why I have been a life long feminist, although I am male.

Celebrate women. They are pretty fucking awesome. (As would be expected by anybody who has a brain.)

Thanks.
