Your hosts, Christopher and Heather, let's talk, shall we?
International Women's Day.
Celebrated March 8, commemorating women's fight for equality and liberation.
(00:31):
International Women's Month brings focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive
rights, and violence and abuse against women.
But how many of us know the history behind these dates and these events?
Heather and I, we've talked about these, well, at least International Women's Day a few
(00:52):
times and how that came into being.
Do you remember that history at all?
Oh goodness, that's going back a little bit here Christopher.
Before we were born.
Heather?
But I know it was a declaration set from the United Nations to say that we need to ensure
(01:14):
this is on the global narrative of what it means to be empowering women and girls across
all the nations.
And that not only should there be a day dedicated to it, but to weave in that work across the
year.
So that was in 1975 that the United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day.
(01:39):
The earliest version of Women's Day was organized in February 28, 1909, the Socialist Party
of America in New York City.
But the real thrust of it came out of Russia, actually.
It was, that was in 1917 when women in Petrograd, now Leningrad protested and they went on strike,
(02:05):
demanding food and an end to the World War.
But not only that, they wanted the Tsar to get his ass out of their lives.
Seven days later, Tsar Nicholas II abdicated and the provisional government granted women
the right to vote.
Now women sometimes you don't feel that you have power.
That my ladies is power.
(02:27):
Is it ever?
Exactly.
I like what they do in some places in Europe.
They instead of calling it International Women's Day, it's referred to as Women's International
Day of Struggle.
(02:49):
That puts a new light and spin on the actual day and events around it.
Does it ever?
Yes, it really focuses in on what's still ahead that we're fighting for.
You know, this year I did see a lot of different organizations, including in their social media
and their statements.
(03:10):
Exactly that, the struggles that lay ahead and stats worldwide about still don't think
that we need International Women's Day.
None of the top 100 paid athletes in the roles of our women.
Things that are happening with legislation that either do or don't help protect people
(03:30):
and women, especially against gender-based violence.
How many of the leaders in the world overseeing the governments of countries?
How many of them are women?
Looking at all of these stats saying, I guess, bolstering up just how important it is to not
only celebrate the women that are in your lives and what they do, but they continue to
(03:56):
please share struggle for gender equity and gender justice.
Yeah, it's a shame we have to use that word, but it's so appropos.
It really is struggle.
It continues to be a struggle.
It's interesting that you bring up social media.
A few years ago, at 2021, a Burger King in the UK wanted to get in on the day, so they tweeted
(04:22):
out on International Women's Day, women belong in the kitchen.
Their statement was, we're on a mission to change the gender ratio in the restaurant industry.
Oh, we're using all trope to a new advantage.
(04:45):
That went over really well.
Oh, I can imagine.
That was retracted in about two hours.
Oh, after the fury came.
Yeah.
So this, the International Women's Month, it was in 2011 Barack Obama, then President
(05:07):
Proclaim March to be Women's History Month as a reflection of the extraordinary accomplishments
of women in shaping America's history.
But that, I mean, he gets a credit for putting it into legislation, I guess.
But the person who actually started that movement, have you ever heard of Laura Shaw Murra?
(05:29):
That name sounds very familiar.
How about Laura X?
Oh, no.
So same woman.
And she was a woman's right, she is a woman's right advocate in the US.
So she took the name Laura X to symbolize her rejection of men's legal ownership of women
and an anonymity of women's history.
(05:52):
So obviously, she based the name off of Malcolm X, the African-American Revolutionary
Muslim leader and human rights activist, who was very, very prominent in the civil rights
movement in the United States.
So Laura X, she also didn't want to have her owners last name.
So she cut out that name and put an X where it would be.
(06:13):
Like, she was, she thought it unfair for half the human race to have only one day a year
and lobbied for National Women's History Month to be built around International Women's
Day.
So that's where that all started, the month, getting the month going.
Oh, that is a phenomenal recap of a very important history.
(06:37):
So I'm happy to kind of dive into what the day was, where the foundations were for the
day and how it spread to be a month of fighting for gender equity.
Very cool.
What have you seen coming up in the next little while that catches your eye for acknowledging
(06:58):
these days?
Yeah, I mean, what I like, what, you know, I've been reflecting about what this International
Women's Day means to me and certainly while taking in what it means to so many people and
I enjoy what you've said some other countries are using as the struggle to keep the focus
(07:19):
on what's still laid ahead.
I don't want to lose the element of the day that is about celebration.
You know, I went to the International Women's Day March in Toronto surrounded by so many
different people, so many different genders and we just filled the streets of Toronto, taking
(07:41):
the streets and claiming this moment for what it means to be a woman and girl in today's
society.
And that was a huge experience.
I know that's one of many, many, many that happened worldwide and I did get the opportunity to spend
some time overseas this year.
(08:04):
And just to talk with the women in these places to do a rally like that, it's very dangerous.
There's so many places in the world that when you make a stand for the things that you're
experiencing as a woman or calling out gender-based violence or calling out legislation that was
once in place in order to help protect you that get rescinded, that you're met with the
(08:30):
state in their full regalia with batons and tear gas.
If anything looks even remotely out of line, you can be in very sincere danger very quickly.
And that was a reminder to me that in Canada, it's worth the fight to get up and show up and
(08:52):
go out to say what you're fighting for today, what the women in your life mean to you and
know that the foundations of feminism and what we were fighting for from the get go that
a lot of those aspects of true, true autonomy and power are not yet lived or a reality for
(09:18):
many, many women.
Not to say that every woman is looking for power.
A lot of us want our autonomy and our agency to be able to live our own power in our own
lives with authentic choice that we can move forward with.
So that was very cool.
I also saw a lot of young girls with their posters that had really amazing slogans on them.
(09:44):
One of them said an F, the patriarchy, just as Taylor Swift sings.
That's what she had on her poster.
Another woman had a sign saying, "Resist is in our essence."
And then there was another one saying, "You can't grab Canada by the pussy, Trump."
(10:11):
Which was good on so many levels for fighting back against the toxic masculinity of what
he's said over the years and also what he's trying to do or saying that he wants to do to Canada.
So that was, I love interlacing humor with political activism or rebellions.
That was very cool to see.
(10:33):
I think I thought a lot about also the slogan, the theme for this year from the United Nations.
For all women and girls, rights, equality, empowerment.
And you look worldwide when women are getting into higher levels of leadership and they're
(10:55):
able to be at the forefront of legislation that allows a person's human rights to be protected.
And the fluctuation between different leaders, either pushing those forwards and rolling
them back, it's never a given.
Our freedom is never a given.
(11:16):
And I think of what Kamala Harris said recently at an awards ceremony that she was at, that
there is a price to liberty and that price is a constant action to not have your freedoms
rescinded.
That was a very stark reminder to me about everything that continues to be at stake.
(11:39):
For the benefit of what so many of us, I think, you'll enjoy without giving it much thought.
There goes the theme of struggle again.
Absolutely.
You don't reach a point and it's over or I have what I've been fighting for.
And so it's a struggle to hang on to what you have achieved because there's always more
(12:01):
to achieve, unfortunately, for women in this world.
So while I consider the macro level of, and it's all of the many, many people of all genders
that are fighting for that, a piece that means so much to me about our show Christopher
is getting into the micro and into the person and what we're doing with our individual
(12:24):
selves.
And something that Christopher and I have been talking a lot about over the years is to
really think about what it means to discover or reimagine or reinvent your authentic self,
to strip back the expectations of perhaps being a mother or a daughter or an aunt or a lover
(12:50):
partner.
And when you strip back the roles that are put on you, kind of really getting to that
heart of who you are and what makes you tick.
And I just wanted to kind of let our listeners know about a very exciting program that we're
working on, just a little taste to get them interested.
(13:11):
But Christopher and I over the years, the three archetypes in our name, the Virgin, the
Beauty and the Bitch, have taken on not only a life of their own, but many different faces
of what they mean to different women and different people that have resounded with me in a really
(13:32):
almost spiritual way.
And a specific one that comes back to us a lot is around the bitch.
And that there's this piece within each and every woman that maybe she got pushed a
little too far or she's been pushed too far too many times or she just knows that her message
and what she's doing is important.
So she's not going to let other people dim her shine or keep her from what she knows needs
(13:56):
to be done.
And there's that inner bitch that's not going to take no for an answer.
She's not going to hold back because of other people's uncomfortableity.
And we think that there's something really precious about opening up that piece of a woman
and strengthening that part of you to meet the need of the day, to meet the need of
(14:18):
your purpose, to meet the need of where you are versus where you want to be.
And so we've been working on a program that we're really excited to share with you.
So please keep an eye out for that because each letter has an associated pillar of what
we'll be working through with you to uncover the pieces of self that have been embellished
(14:41):
based off of the roles you're expected to play, stripping those back and getting to know
that authentic you while still knowing that getting to that part is going to take a lot
of different mechanisms to truly uncover.
So we're super excited about what that means.
And it's really because of what these three archetypes have meant in our show and also
(15:09):
what our guests and what our listeners have said in particular about what the bitch means
to them.
Yeah, Heather and I have grown a lot in understanding our own title.
And it surprises us actually.
If you've not heard their show before, we came up with these three words because they were
(15:31):
cool.
They're cool words.
They're powerful.
They're provocative.
And they just get people's minds thinking.
But as we've gone on over these years, these words have taken on a spiritual kind of connection
to both of us.
(15:52):
And it's something we definitely want to be able to express and communicate because it's
not just for us.
It's for everyone, man and woman.
But yeah, we will be rolling that out fairly soon.
Heather said, keep your ears open and come on back to us as we roll that out in the next
(16:19):
few months.
And just on that, it just brings to mind for me as we're rolling out this program, which
I'm so excited about, that true empowerment is not selective.
And when I'm thinking about the International Women's Day theme, it's a call to expand our
(16:40):
concept of feminism and make sure it isn't just equity for some women, but every woman.
So to think about that on a personal level to me is that we can't just continue to make
these strides and say these words, well, we continue to play small in our own lives.
(17:00):
And we can't fight for the rights of all women while we're still doubting our own worth.
And we can't push for a better future while we're still carrying the burdens of the past.
So I think that when I'm thinking about how our personal internal dialogue affects what
happens at that micro level, this program really speaks towards making that change and how
(17:25):
you see yourself and then how you show up for the world around you based on your own
volition.
Yeah, we all talk about changing the world and we look outside ourselves.
The world changes within us before it can change anywhere else.
And that's basically what our focus is on is the change within us.
(17:48):
That's the biggest change of all.
Yeah, I can agree more.
That's for sure.
And this is something I've said to Christopher before, but it played on International Women's
Day.
It's it's called Break Free by Ariata Grande.
And there's something just so beautiful to that song for me because she's really talking
(18:09):
about breaking breaking free of this relationship of the things that she thought was the value
of her worth and just kind of saying, effort and going in her own direction.
So breaking free, it creates such a vivid picture for me and even the words mean a great deal.
(18:33):
You blow me away because we're always on the same wavelength.
It's freaking amazing.
So I wrote a blog on Saturday and it's based on a song by Tears of Fears, Roland Osibol
is wrote it and the name of the song is it's a world gone crazy keeps women in chains.
(18:56):
So I wrote a blog around around that.
Check it out.
Go to our website virgin beauty bitch.com.
Click on blog and you'll see it there.
But the theme from your song to my song is just freaking amazing.
I love that.
That bridge is right there.
(19:19):
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
That's powerful stuff.
That is powerful stuff.
That is powerful stuff.
So we didn't want to the day or the month go by without acknowledging that it's an important part of our
platform and what we do and we definitely wanted to voice our appreciation for this celebration
(19:39):
and the struggle as well.
And just to cap us off as women and our listeners are thinking about this program that we're about to launch.
Just some thoughts to leave you leave our listeners with to see if this is a good fit for you.
Because I mean these questions resonate with me quite a bit.
(20:02):
But to think about how many times have you shrunk yourself to make other people feel comfortable?
How often do you second guess your instincts because you've been told that you're too much?
Or how long have you been waiting for permission to go after exactly what you really want?
And so for International Women's Day and Women's History Month, you know, my challenge to every woman listening is it's time to break free of the cycle.
(20:32):
Invest in yourself and most importantly stop apologizing for who you are.
So I hope that kind of hits a chord with you and that and you take a look at our program once our information is up in life.
Absolutely.
That means you have to come on back and you have been listening to the Virgin, the beauty and the bitch.

Your hosts, Christopher and Heather, let's talk, shall we?
International Women's Day.
Celebrated March 8, commemorating women's fight for equality and liberation.
(00:31):
International Women's Month brings focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive
rights, and violence and abuse against women.
But how many of us know the history behind these dates and these events?
Heather and I, we've talked about these, well, at least International Women's Day a few
(00:52):
times and how that came into being.
Do you remember that history at all?

not just for us.
It's for everyone, man and woman.
But yeah, we will be rolling that out fairly soon.
Heather said, keep your ears open and come on back to us as we roll that out in the next
(16:19):
few months.
And just on that, it just brings to mind for me as we're rolling out this program, which
I'm so excited about, that true empowerment is not selective.
And when I'm thinking about the International Women's Day theme, it's a call to expand our
(16:40):
concept of feminism and make sure it isn't just equity for some women, but every woman.
So to think about that on a personal level to me is that we can't just continue to make
these strides and say these words, well, we continue to play small in our own lives.
(17:00):
And we can't fight for the rights of all women while we're still doubting our own worth.
And we can't push for a better future while we're still carrying the burdens of the past.
So I think that when I'm thinking about how our personal internal dialogue affects what
happens at that micro level, this program really speaks towards making that change and how
(17:25):
you see yourself and then how you show up for the world around you based on your own
volition.
Yeah, we all talk about changing the world and we look outside ourselves.
The world changes within us before it can change anywhere else.
And that's basically what our focus is on is the change within us.
(17:48):
That's the biggest change of all.
Yeah, I can agree more.
That's for sure.
And this is something I've said to Christopher before, but it played on International Women's
Day.
It's it's called Break Free by Ariata Grande.
And there's something just so beautiful to that song for me because she's really talking
(18:09):
about breaking breaking free of this relationship of the things that she thought was the value
of her worth and just kind of saying, effort and going in her own direction.
So breaking free, it creates such a vivid picture for me and even the words mean a great deal.
(18:33):
You blow me away because we're always on the same wavelength.
It's freaking amazing.
So I wrote a blog on Saturday and it's based on a song by Tears of Fears, Roland Osibol
is wrote it and the name of the song is it's a world gone crazy keeps women in chains.
(18:56):
So I wrote a blog around around that.
Check it out.
Go to our website virgin beauty bitch.com.
Click on blog and you'll see it there.
But the theme from your song to my song is just freaking amazing.
I love that.
That bridge is right there.
(19:19):
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
That's powerful stuff.
That is powerful stuff.
That is powerful stuff.
So we didn't want to the day or the month go by without acknowledging that it's an important part of our
platform and what we do and we definitely wanted to voice our appreciation for this celebration
(19:39):
and the struggle as well.
And just to cap us off as women and our listeners are thinking about this program that we're about to launch.
Just some thoughts to leave you leave our listeners with to see if this is a good fit for you.
Because I mean these questions resonate with me quite a bit.
(20:02):
But to think about how many times have you shrunk yourself to make other people feel comfortable?
How often do you second guess your instincts because you've been told that you're too much?
Or how long have you been waiting for permission to go after exactly what you really want?
And so for International Women's Day and Women's History Month, you know, my challenge to every woman listening is it's time to break free of the cycle.
(20:32):
Invest in yourself and most importantly stop apologizing for who you are.
So I hope that kind of hits a chord with you and that and you take a look at our program once our information is up in life.
Absolutely.
That means you have to come on back and you have been listening to the Virgin, the beauty and the bitch.
(20:58):
