Where I'm from it was publicised by men saying "look how much I care about you that I remembered you exist today". So it started out as a token virtue signal, then luckily evolved in something nicer. So yeah, we have different experiences around this it seems (and I'm sorry your's shitty one).
I'm truly sorry you are not in an healthy environment. For next year consider writing "women's day" with a nailgun on a misogynist's car door ๐. With a big heart too!
Thank you so much for your concern, I appreciate it! But I'm not in an unhealthy environment! There's usually a feminist march happening on women's day, which I like to attend. I guess it's just culturally a little different. I do like your idea tho, haha
ETA: thinking about it some more, I often hear it called day of the feminist fight instead of women's day, at least in my leftie circles. So I guess my experience is just that it's more about the feminist fight than it is about wholesome appreciation of women. As such, I guess it has less mainstream appeal. It'd be nice to have both, though!
