The UN celebrated its first official International Women's Day on Mar 8, 1975.
International Women's Day is never about shopping or half-day off for female employees.
It was about the equal rights of women.
It is about human dignity.
In every sense, in any sense, I don't think we deserve this holiday today.
I rest my case, and I have nothing else to say.
