Where I come from, March 8th hasn't really been viewed as a political day for number of years now, but as a day of celebration. Among my people today, women get flowers and girls get treated just a little bit more specially than on a normal day. In school, they pay special attention to the women they've learned from in history and the sciences. At home, they take mom out to dinner. I remember it as a really laid back and celebratory kind of holiday, when I was a child. I loved it, truly

(my mom and i rarely exchange gifts, no christmas, we do dinner on birthdays, that sort of thing.) so--thank you! :)
