Women Appreciation Day

We are in need of a national “Women’s Appreciation Day.”  This celebration should be a national holiday. The fact it doesn’t exist is yet another tarnish in contemporary America. 

Women’s contributions have vastly exceeded just the gaining of further equality for their gender.   They have acted as a constant source of inspiration and benefit to mankind as a whole.  Hence, we are in dire need of not just a reminder of equality improvements but, in a far larger sense, their extraordinary contributions to humanity.                 

We are long remiss in failing to recognized that America society has always been, and will always be, a matriarchy.  Women, through their demands, virtues, sacrifices, compassion and tenderness have been the architects of the moral fabric that defines our societies.  They are the ones who have demonstrated the finest qualities in the human spirit and have thus propelled the very best in us to surface.   Their collective thinking and influence has molded our behavior to this very day. 

The proclamation announcing the national holiday should therefore primarily embrace and emphasize female contributions that greatly exceed the collective of works of either Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinem.    

It should also clearly and strongly proclaim that their list of contributions have been the most significant among the genders.   It should publicly declare what we have known for decades – that most male success and contributions would not have occurred without female support, encouragement and intervention.  

Both Mother Teresa and Mary Jo Copeland (Sharing and Caring Hands) are saints.  The magnificent blessings bestowed upon us by this magnificent gender demands its long overdue special recognition.
