International Women's Day
Tomorrow is International Women's Day. Today, we celebrated at work by parading through the streets of Quito with banners that said, ''Mujeres, tu puedes,'' (women: you can) and other feminist slogans. Guess what my boss said on Monday, immediately after she announced that we were going to have a parade. ''So, we are going to need five strong men to carry a giant female doll along the parade route.'' Ironic?

Not necessarily ironic. Some feminists might say that that is what men are good for -- and cooking - and cleaning - and looking cute.
