What is International Women's Day?
The following has been quoted from the InternationalWomensDay.com:
"International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.
The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Many from a younger generation feel that 'all the battles have been won for women' while many feminists from the 1970's know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an increased critical mass of women's visibility as impressive role models in every aspect of life, one could think that women have gained true equality. The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equally to that of their male counterparts, women still are not present in equal numbers in business or politics, and globally women's education, health and the violence against them is worse than that of men.
Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more."

What is Vector Art?
In digital art there are two layer formats: raster and vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and points.
When you resize a raster image, you are expanding the pixels. Your program has to try to estimate what the colours would be for the additional pixels created. Due to this, the image loses it's clarity and creates a pixel effect.
When you resize a vector image, you are increasing the distance between the points. Due to this, the image doesn't lose it's clarity and doesn't pixellate.
The key element of vector is that it's infinitely scalable without any quality loss and it's why we love it!
Female Focused Vector Art
Last year I featured art only from female vector artists... this year, I want us to celebrate the female visuals. I'd like to share with you some of the most popular and my favourite pieces from the Vector Art galleries with women as your primary focus by both female and male artists alike.
Conclusion
Please join me in celebrating women as part of International Women's Day 2012. Check out the website InternationalWomensDay.com for more information and check out other CVs for their Women's Day features.
IMO what you did last year was far better.
Kinda redundant
Every image of a female can be fapped at, however only rather sexy and body defining images would be fapped at. It doesn't apply to my comment because mine is "Worth fapping to" yours is simply "Everything can be fapped at" instead of promoting women, you just showed something a pervert would be pleased to look at.
So much for "women's day".
Since now I'm assuming you are being serious about this, let me respond to this in a serious manner.
I'm assuming that your opinion is more based on the display of beauty and sexiness which is perceived in these pieces of vector, rather than them actually being material used to aid masturbation. You think you're being pro women here, when all you're doing is only doing us women a disservice by perpetuating myths that beauty is therefore something which should be objectified rather than celebrated. To state that we shouldn't celebrate the physical beauty of women on such an international day because it "would" be used as "fapping" material is degrading of those who possess such beauty. That automatically a beautiful woman should not be celebrated in association with a feminist day, as their existence is to be masturbated to.... do you realise how absurd you're being?
I'm not denying that women of beauty can be and have been used as sexual objects and I don't see them as just sexual objects. It's just a shame, that coming from another women, you do see this.
So please, don't say "so much for women's day", when you can't see past societies stereotypes of women yourself.
As if porn and disgusting women pictures don't do that all year round anyway, Why do you do this? You just added to the pile of sexy women celebrity stereotypes, your deviation was FOR men, not for women, and if for women? To remind them how much they need to look like these girls which almost all of them look the same, Aka stereotypes.
So much for women's day.
It saddens me that you would feature such a thing, because pin-ups are made for the purpose of showing off a woman's body in a very physical and near degrading way, because they are made for men to look at and admire the luscious curves instead of valuing our minds...
