My complicated relationship with womanhood notwithstanding, I'm really ambivalent toward International Women's Day.
When I was a kid, my mom explained to me that she didn't much care for Mother's Day. She felt that the practice of celebrating mothers on one day of the year gave our society free reign to take them for granted the other 364. Over time I grew to understand the logic behind her position, but I couldn't exactly relate.
Until people and companies started making a big deal out of International Women's Day.
Anyway, happy The Day After International Women's Day, the day where everyone goes back to treating women like shit.
