I've been looking for manifestos for EVERYTHING! I ran into this one for women on this great website!
“We are empowered. We are individuals who think and speak for ourselves.
“We aspire
to live a fulfilled life, whatever that means to each of us, and we support
women who make different choices than the ones we make.
“We lead
in all areas of life, and we want to see more women leading in industries such
as politics, business, science, media, technology and more.
“As we
succeed, we lift up those around us. Women are powerful mentors.
“We applaud
efforts to make it easier for us to manage work and family but know the answer
isn’t one-size-fits-all policies that limit choice and flexibility.
“We deserve
and expect to be paid fairly. No woman should be paid less simply for being a
woman.
“We appreciate
those who came before us and fought for the freedom and flexibility we enjoy
today.
“We know
that women are not always treated respectfully and fairly, but not all men are
sexists. Strong men appreciate strong women and we’re stronger together.
“We are
thoughtful, intelligent and vote knowing that all issues are women’s issues.
“We embrace
innovation. We value ideas that allow us the opportunity to start and run a
successful venture of any size.
“We have
no tolerance for violence against women. Those who victimize and endanger women
should be prosecuted under full accordance of the law.
“We are
proud to live in a prosperous, free country and stand with women across the
globe in defending human rights.
“We are
compassionate, assertive, enterprising, adventurous, confident and patriotic,
and we are empowered.”
