In rechecking our archives, I realized that we had, oh sacrilege, yet never out March 8 on this blog. It is high time to remedy this situation!
Let us start by having a thought for the German Communist Clara Zetkin, without whom we would not be celebrating perhaps not this date since 1910!
Second thought: How come in 2011 are still people who say "International Day of Women" ... It is not the woman. Down with the eternal feminine! ;) This is your challenge of the day, take all those who say the woman instead of women.
Some of you may be wondering how to celebrate this great opportunity. Several options are available to you if you are in Montreal during the day. Regarding all other areas, I invite you to learn at the Women's Center nearest you to be aware of the activities. Montreal:
1 - Demonstration in 19h, starting at Cabot Square
2 - For the more timid, the launch of the movie "Cautions feminist" Rozenn Potin.
" Feminists Warning! offers a new perspective on feminism through the personal and social commitment of 5 young generations X and Y. This documentary will be launched Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 19 h at the NFB Cinema in the presence of the director and main characters. The film will show, always at the NFB Cinema from March 14 to 17 to 19 h. Do not miss the roundtable to be held after the screening of 16 March in the presence of the protagonists of the film!In this documentary, Rozenn Potin appends new faces of feminism an accessible, responsive, relevant and bold. We discover feminism as experienced by women from different backgrounds ... but by a man and a "queer." Pascale, Jennifer, Barbara, Marco and Coco as many ways to be a feminist today! Far from preaching to the initiated, Feminists Beware!, produced by VF Productions Inc. ., is a film that effectively renews the image and the discourse on feminism.
