15. Oh, thank goodness. I was afraid this was going to be a thread about *that time of the month!*

Is a icon needed? Here:

I suggest we divide the months by population statistics. Nope, that would still be unfair.

I'm sorry that all these 'histories' or exceptions to 'his-story,' are no longer taught as one. Back in the stone ages, we learned about all the struggles of minorities, women, labor and migrants.

It was part of the New Deal type education we were given. We had dozens of people and peoples taught all year long - inclusively.

And the real pisser to me is giving black people the shortest, most ambiguous month out of the year.

Really, you couldn't do any better than that, guys?
