'On the 75th anniversary of women being allowed to serve as equal members of the U.S. Armed Forces, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed House Bill 4555 establishing Women Veterans Recognition Day on June 12 in Michigan.

Women Veterans Recognition Day honors Michigan’s estimated 44,000 living women veterans and the many more who served before them.

“For 250 years, women have proudly served alongside men in our military,” said Governor Whitmer. “For too long, however, they have been overlooked and underserved. Today, I am taking action to establish Women Veterans Recognition Day in Michigan, giving these courageous servicewomen the recognition and honor they have long deserved. Millions of women have put their lives on the line to serve our country and it’s our responsibility to connect them with critical resources like healthcare, mental health services, and affordable housing when they leave the service. Let’s keep working together to honor our women veterans and service members.”'

... or do women seem to need specific public proclamations of support just to go to the bathroom?

Seems to me that feminists believe either rightly or wrongly this is the case and act like it.

When's the Men Veterans Day Act getting passed?
