There are no Federal holidays named after women. So how to change that?

I say make Juneteenth day a Federal holiday and rename it Harriet Tubman Day. For that matter, also replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with her face.

Other suggestions?

I don't quite get the point that you're trying to make.

Nevertheless, deadly hurricanes have female names.

No they don't.

I'd be "up" for a Heidi Fleiss festival.

How many are named after men? Can't really count Presidents day. Columbus Day, MLK Day Groundhog Day, that's about all I can think of that are named after men and really Groundhog Day is iffy because it's not technically named after Phil.
I don't count Washingtons B-day because it's just Presidents Day now and again that's not technically named after a man. Just happen to all be men. At least for now.

I guess the groundhog day reference wasn't good enough to show I was being a smart ass.

Well, it WAS close. It did give me pause, so, yeah....carry on!

Good points. Columbus, MLK and Washington's B-Day were the ones that I was thinking hardest about - but yeah, Washington's is now largely seen as President's Day. But still, there's also Christmas & Easter (legitimate holiday in my opinion) though that's also wrapped up in Spring Break but it's based on Jesus Christ. It's undeniable that holidays originally based on men have trended toward gender neutralization. Still, Susan B Anthony Day should be a Federal holiday - call it Equality Day? I'd replace someone's dollar bill with her and Tubman just to put some variety in our currency.
