How facile are these Hallmark moments
of solemn attention to the role of women
in society inciting smug satisfaction to erupt
as world wide a sense of complacency
and worship of the moment exalts women
everywhere for their strength, endurance
capability, wisdom, resolute adherence to
the role that nature assigned them in rearing
new generations has heads bobbing in full
agreement: women's role in all measures of
life and society is matchless in its profound
importance. After all, it is the United Nations
itself that issued the proclamation that henceforth
this date would be set aside for the veneration
of womankind. This is, of course the world body
which sees no dissonance in elevating the most
egregious misogynistic societies to chair committees
designated to oversee the global progress in
women's rights. As authentically sincere a nod
to womanhood as the dedication of this day.
