International Women's Day?

Is this a new thing, or have I just been oblivious for the past however long this has been happening? Also, do I get anything, like a free taco or something, or is it just another feel good fake holiday that doesn't really do anything?

Because if I've been missing out on free tacos this whole time, I'm gonna real disappointed!

relatively speaking, quite new, about one hundred and ten years...

@Yulianna Yeah... I'm quite late to the party, as it turns out. Gonna have to fire every calendar I've had up until this year. This is the first year I've had a calendar with it!

@FaeLuna probably not too popular in USA as it was originally a socialist holiday... although i think it actually started in New York!

@Yulianna That's what I read a few minutes ago! It was to recognize women gaining the right to vote in the Soviet Union, and first celebrated in the US by socialist women, so it's not surprising it didn't catch on here.

@FaeLuna 🇺🇦🌻🇺🇸 yes, it is actually a public holiday here in Ukraine and women are supposed to be treated well.

@Yulianna I would hope being treated well is just an everyday thing, but it's nice to be appreciated with something special once in a while.

@FaeLuna yes, it is the other 364 days you have to worry about...
