¡Dia de las Mujeres!

Today was the international day of women. It is where all the ladies in the city come out to protest the oppression of women in Spain. I love the way Spain protests. Its such a Spectacle. It looks like a circus, but in this first pic a woman is dressed as a man with a big skirt. (I dont know the meaning of that but its not good) While the man is dressed like a woman who keeps dropping flares. Interesting stuff huh!This is the most strong statement I think. The man is the puppet master while the woman is the puppet. Very strong meaning here.
Best group shot I could get as people kept walking in front of me. PUNKS!

Basically, all this is so interesting to me because here in Spain the men are well known for their machismo. I can't believe the women put up with it, but its true. The women here work just as hard while continuing to run the household completely! Amazing!
