We beg to differ.
It seems even the “experts” on women’s issues got it wrong as far as what could’ve been the whole point of commemorating International Women’s Day celebrated today, the 8th of March. Quite ironic that the most visible group that claims to be fighting for “women’s issues” takes their name from Filipino folk hero Gabriela Silang,…

Being “cool” is not about wearing the right clothes or having the latest gadgets. Being cool is about having the right attitude.
