Every single day, the importance of holding on to our right to privacy grows. It’s a shield against discrimination and a tool for empowerment, central to equality in all forms.Today we celebrate the women in our community, and all the women leading the fight for strong data privacy and digital rights.Happy International Women’s Day!#InternationalWomensDay #IWD #Privacy #IWD2026 #PrivacyGuides

@light it's not...? I don't know what you mean, but "patriarchy" has a definite meaning here, in the context of IWD and feminism...

@FoodieKenobi yeah... international women's day always makes me think we're 1/365th of the way to where we should be.

Speak louder against these actions. Don’t watch in silence. If you see a man doing something that doesn’t sit right, don’t enable them - report that post, block that channel, complain, raise your voice. Every single action counts. Build a better world. Patriarchy hurts everyone and is a tool of fascism. #IWD

@sarahjanepoppywest @fringemagnet I was gonna say roughly the same thing. 74 and my throat is sore from exploding

Good morning, Fedifriends!Happy International Women's Day The same things are said on this day each year but all kinds of women are still being abused, underpaid, undervalued and taken for granted.The fact we still _need_ to have an IWD says it's not taken seriously by governments.#IWD #InternationalWomensDay #TimeForChange

@AimeeMaroux agreed. I've found that challenging directly people is never fruitful. Instead I pretend to be dumb and not understand what they mean. Forcing them to articulate the stupidity and continue the process. I don't know if it changes their thinking, but at the very least it means they don't say it around me (and by extension those with me).

Cis women, take a minute of your time to go sign this from the Good Law Project to show that we stand with trans women: https://notinourname.org.uk #IWD #IWD2026 #TransRights
