philmophlegmToday is apparently 'International Women's Day'. It seems somewhat unfair that half the world's population only get one day a year. Presumably men are entitled to the remaining 364 days.
Anyway, what prompted this post was the thought that none of the socialists, communists and feminists behind this "occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women" probably intended that this should be an excuse for the broadcasters of the England / West Indies test match to bring us shots of all the scantily-clad women in the crowd.
"Gratuitous", as lanciatore would say.
