***** [[Unfortunate Implications|So women can't contribute to things outside of the feminist movement]]?
****** Ooh, let's take this one step further -- i.e. the implication that anything noteworthy a woman does is somehow "feminist" just because it's a woman doing something men normally do. Yes, there's reasons to celebrate this (especially when it encourages women to get involved in male-dominated fields), but STILL...
*** If Women's History Month is designed to disavow [[Men Are Generic, Women Are Special]], by highlighting particular women and particular groups of women they are instead supporting the trope in the most effective way possible. With their premise it's impossible to not support the trope if they highlight women taking traditionally male roles -- which is basically everything that gets recorded in the history books. In fact if this trope is not true to life then there is no need for a women's rights movement
