I kinda dislike this holiday for the same reason I dislike Black history month. It reinforces that instead of being respected and always treated equally and admired the same we put it into a period where we're supposed to feel obligated to do it.

It's just lazy and irresponsible.

Hahaha. No.

Sort of like Valentine's Day.  The only day you're supposed to do anything romantic

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

As far as I know, there is no widely recognised International Men's Day.

A quick Google Search, however, says November 19th. Huh. Go figure.

Wow, thats a holiday? When is men?

Hahaha. No.

Apparently, yes.

Come on, it's a nice holiday.
Then again, this may be related to the fact that I am Russian, this holiday is important to us.

Valentine's day is a joke though.

Can't really compare Valentine's Day to this, since the former is propagated mostly for commercialization.

Personally the only holidays I really like are other people's birthdays and mother's/father's day. New Year's Eve is pretty good but trying to figure out with your friends what to actually do that would 'live up to' the expectations of the night is annoying.

I just think the vagueness of 'Women's Day' is the problem. Really, it is an anniversary, of the beginning of the movement for gender equality, but the name remains vague. Names and symbols are important, and selecting them poorly can lead to misleading assumptions in the minds of those interpret these symbols. Call it Gender Equality day, or something. Dedicate it to reminding us of how far we've come in that regard. Women's day just sounds terribly generic and doesn't convey the purpose it was made for to begin with.

Aww, I didn't know such an event existed, and there for missed the chance to celebrate it. Ah well, I can show respect and appreciation to the women in my life next year.

Max has it right, it's not about gender equality or other issues, it's just a day to show appreciation to the women in your life, may they be mother,sister,aunt,neighbor, co-worker...You get the picture.
