Day sophie Gregoire Trudeau has taken a leaf out of Tammy Wynette’s song book and is standing by her man to mark International Women’s.
“This week, once we mark Overseas Women’s Day, let us commemorate the guys and guys inside our life whom encourage us become whom we certainly are, whom treat girls & ladies with respect, and that aren’t afraid to talk up in the front of others. just Take a photo keeping arms along with your male ally & share it on social media marketing utilising the hashtag #TomorrowInHand,” she posted on social networking along side a photo of her keeping her spouse’s hand.

“Together, we are able to produce a movement that inspires more guys to participate the battle to construct an improved with equal rights & opportunities for everyone tomorrow. because #EqualityMatters.”
Listen. It is got by us. Gregoire may be the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The planet frontrunner that produces other globe leaders, similar to recently Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, swoon like blue light disco attendees, that wouldn’t leap during the possiblity to show him down?

Gregoire’s heteronormative assumption apart, just just what she possibly saw as an innocuous post to push the equality agenda has go off looking like the greatest #humblebrag of 2017.
“Humblebrag”, as defined by this generation’s Oxford dictionary – Urban Dictionary – is: “To bring up a person’s accomplishments in discussion.”
We have it dudes, you are blissfully in love and lovely people to start but it is Women’s Day perhaps maybe not romantic days celebration.
Despite clocking up more the 19,000 likes on Facebook alone, the hashtag and call that is subsequent into the sisterhood motivating them to put up arms due to their male allies on per day showcasing ladies’ dilemmas bombed like Andrew and Cheryl’s “relationship” on Married At First Sight.
Fans associated with the mother-of-three and entertainment that is former, called it down.
“that is utterly absurd. Shameful really,” one said.
“I think i will be photos that are taking my daughters, feminine buddies and peers alternatively.”
But a small number of avid hand-holders did get involved.
Gregoire did not back down, thanking her supporters with regards to their diverse feedback.
“Well, now we are having a discussion! By way of everyone for the feedback and pictures! Love it. Our goal is gender equality, and fighting for this will probably need people working together – increasing our girls and boys in order to make a big change, hand-in-hand. This really is about recognising she said before addressing the crowds at functions for Plan International Canada and Equal Voice in Canada that we should be allies on this journey.
