The Unsolvable Mystery of What Women Want. Hint: It Starts with an R and ends with ESPECT

March is Women’s History Month, and this past week was International Women’s Day, an annual moment to honor the contributions of women from all walks of life. It’s a valuable reminder, for those of us who need it, that women are and have always been a part of history, no matter how deeply our participation and influence have been buried. Women are the primary drivers of linguistic growth, musical taste, fashion; women are inventors, computer programmers, artists of the finest caliber; women have started wars and stopped them, toppled regimes and founded them. If it strikes you as a mite absurd that all of this even needs to be said, congratulations! You are still sane.
