I just wanna say I've been on an SNL binge recently, and I think Kirsten Wiig and Kate McKinnon, along with many other amazing women there, are probably the funniest people on Earth. I find that level of comedic talent seriously inspirational.
Also, Ellen's great for being the philantropist that she is on top of being super funny.
I know this will sound like pandering, but I do find many of the women on EoFF to be pretty darn inspirational. You're all strong and driven, like Pumpkin getting amazing achievements in her education and setting up a support group, or Shorty starting up her comedy and doing well at it. Night Fury and her enthusiasm for writing and planning events, or Shauna's excellence in CKing. They're just the ones that spring to mind, but there are others.
Thinking outside EoFF, for all I do rib on Adele for her songs, she is inspirational, showing women that can be any body shape and look fabulous, and she shows a self-assurance in herself that is always inspiring to see. Emma Watson is also inspiring, seeing all the work she does for the U.N and to improve the lives of women. And Malala Yousafzai, for being a better person at her age than I ever was.
perhaps not all the guys should be That happy about today :P
Yeah I was going to say Malala Yousafzai. I was just reading up about her again recently. That girl is amazing.

They can't help it, they're always so tired.
In seriousness, while it isn't perfect, I very much appreciated taking a minute to read this article on International Women's Day, and I encourage you to also.
Over the last year, I have watched a small group of women here at eoff become increasingly vocal around issues of social justice, including examining both race and gender through a feminist lens. Perhaps more importantly, I have seen them support each other - which is not always easy to do, sometimes it feels like there is only much space in the world for women to succeed (or only one cute gamer girl can rule eoff at a time) so you better take that spot before someone else does. Overturning misogyny, including internalized and unconscious misogyny is no small feat; but we will continue to help create safe and uplifting spaces for ourselves and others. It is a continuous process, and it can be a challenging process. I see people doing this hard work, and I am proud of them. Happy International Women's Day.
My favorite women are the ones in my family. My grandmother and mother are both pretty strong, independent, fierce, ballin' women, who of course get on my nerves at every waking moment. I have respect for them and also undying hatred.
I think the thing that annoys me about strong women is that they have the tendency to put other women down or control them, especially other strong women and there's head butting. There's also a competitive thing. There needs to be more women looking out for other women.
