Basically sharing rights, responsibilities, and equal access to material and non-material things, so in this way it's not only about gender but about other kinds of discrimination too.
Have a nice day, Ladies!

Long boring articles in newspapers. Endless chit-chatter about not needing men and men being useless. Wanting the right to serve in the military, but not the obligation to. Complaining about sexism while still believing men should approach women not the other way around, men should pay, hold doors etc etc. blah blah blah
I would be all for women's rights day if it had anything to do with equal rights (which is do think is a valid quest), seems to me it has more to do with women celebrating their superiority and bitchingg about men. Or at least that's the impression I've gotten from various crap I've had to read/here/watch today and from most declared feminists in the past.
Worst of all is when they put down footie of course

Oh, I thought you were talking about gender issues or feminism in general, not about women's day in particular, sorry
Women's day is not a big deal for me, it's the commemoration of some historical moment in the women's movement, maybe women's getting the vote or something, at the end of the first world war.
So when would you like to have men's day?
I wouldn't have a problem with that, I respect men as much as women, if they're respectable, actually, I'd really like to have a men's day too.

what for? it would be as useless as women's day. not having a men's day prooves we're more clever cause we dont need any of that bollocks.

no. it was a completly random date. it's actually a rather poor day for man's day, since PL is off then. how 'bout 1st of january instead? it'll match the sweatshirt just lovely.

1 January is taken for another purpose. Someone here suggested 19 May, cause that's the nameday for Ivó, which means "drinker".

girls shouldnt need a special day to buy us flowers, they could do that any day of the year.
