This project sounds great!
However, the phrase 'Celebrate Women' doesn't have
any meaning, and could be anything -
it could be a Solstice-based party in
somebody's cornfield or an online
family-planning course.
Consider how effective a campaign called
'Celebrate Men' would be.
We're trying to appeal to people with expertise and
experience, who need something meaningful
to get their attention.
