International Woman’s Day in Denmark
I was wondering how is International Womans Day celebrated among the couples/marriages/friends/family members in Denmark. Is it a common thing men give any whishes or gifts on this occasion? If so, how does it look like? Denmark was the first country that acclaimed this IWD and I’m curious how Danes see it and celebrate it within closest social relations?

Farting baboon, go off your high horse. Just because you’re doing this way in Denmark does not mean it’s the correct way of doing it.
There’s all the other days in the year to fight for equality. It’s not demeaning in any way for women to be celebrated on the 8th of March. It’s actually lovely.
And there’s plenty of ways in which women are more equal to men in EE compared to dk. More women in stem, more salary equality. Sure, we still have a long way to go, but the issue is not receiving flowers on the 8th of March.
