    It shouldnt have to take a special day to recognise women. But i understand the essence behind it. Our women are strong. Beautiful and so many things a man cannot be. Bask in your element ladies

      Aren’t ladies recognised everyday Tyrella? There’s just a special day for women only. to truly call them out on their wonders. why not talk about how the media was quiet when it was international men day? they weren’t recognised like the women are being placed on pedastals. so lets stop the nonesense.
