Women’s Conference

If I’d seen this billboard saying “Women’s Conference” (I’m not sure if you can read what it says) even just a few years ago, I’d be very happy.

“Ah, feminism, scholarship, research, human rights, science,” I would think.

I’m a lot more jaded nowadays, so I immediately knew that this was some religious outfit educating women on their wifely duties.

When we came close enough to the billboard for me to read the small lettering at the bottom, I confirmed my guess. This “conference” is organized by a ministry and has to do with love and relationships. Because, as we all know, women need regular reminders only to care about love and relationships.

One day I know I will see a billboard saying, “Women’s Conference! Scholars discuss feminism and women’s rights across the globe!”
