Today is International Women's Day which is national holiday here.

In fact now it is more of "appreciation day" and some people hate it for this reason. I fail to see what is wrong with it though. Unlike "men's" counterpart February 23 which is heavily militarised because it is "Armed Forces Day" and just kind of extends to all men, March 8 is more causal and has lost the most of its political sense.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it either - I mean if you truly appreciate someone surely you stand for their rights and equality.
