Happy happy day, girls.

March 8 is International Women’s Day: one day in 365 where we celebrate the achievements and aspirations of the gender that makes up half of the human population of our planet.

We also get a hashtag.

This year, when it seems like every second headline is filled with bad news for women, it is easy to dismiss International Women’s Day as meaningless. After all, we’ve been celebrating a form of itsince at least 1909, and we’re still justifying why women should be allowed to bust ghosts. 

Even with great leaps forward, there are so, so many more ways women are still unequal: We still make, on average, 78 cents for every dollar a man makes. We are less likely to become CEOs. We are, in some U.S. states, rapidly seeing male politicians restrict our ability to make our own reproductive health choices. We need politicians and law enforcement to get serious about justice for victims of violence and rape, and we need to be ready to stand in our power and replace them if they won’t stand up for us.

And, let’s be really real — white feminists like me are only just starting to recognize the ways fighting for feminist equality can marginalize women of color, and we’re not doing nearly enough to address it. 

Women deserve more than a day, a week, or even a month of recognition for us to collectively get closer to where we should rightfully be.

But all that said, I’m still celebrating International Women’s Day today. Because the way I see it, making a big-ass deal out of the one day we do get is just another way to remind everyone that we deserve so much more.

Here are 13 reasons to feel proud and optimistic while crushing the patriarchy this International Women’s Day.
