In my culture, the 8th of March is a National Holiday and my father always gave me goodies. It's just a general appreciation of women. I told a couple of male coworkers and in shock they were like "Another day in addition to Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, etc.??" The fact that it celebrates women's achievements also alluded them. Their response was "What if my wife hasn't achieved anything?" That's not the point at all. It celebrates ALL women and gives respect to them, regardless of what she has contributed. Plus, what giving birth is not considered an achievement anymore? They think it's another day they have to buy more stuff when it really is not. In any case, perhaps it's just an American guy thing. I can understand if they don't want to support it because it has roots deep in socialism and communism but I think it's long outgrown that.
Please take some time to express the love and appreciation you have for all the women important in your life and just tell them that you love them.
С днём 8 Марта!
