It's obvious why a caption that begins: "This week, as we mark International Women's Day, let's celebrate the boys and men in our lives…" wouldn't go over too well with certain online crowds (nothing goes over well with most online crowds, mind you). But this is all part and parcel of an administration that has made Trudeau's Feminism© a defining aspect of its government. And with the Trump administration offering the perfect backdrop against which Justin Trudeau's feminism can really shine, why not seize the opportunity to show that off, even on International Women's Day? It's the feminism of your mom's or grandmother's era, which probably couldn't make sense of the controversy over whether men are supposed to tweet about International Women's Day. The performance by these women on International Women's Day is silent and, arguably, most persuasive in terms of emphasizing women's worth: they're just getting it done.
