Since when does anyone in Australia know about this?

It's followed quite closely in Europe. Years back when I was in Hungary all the female teachers got lunch and gifts and a bloody lot of flowers on this day, and were generally treated a lot nicer (not like they aren't already there) for the day, but I have never ever heard of this being followed in Australia - in fact I hadn't even heard of it at all till I experienced it first hand in Europe.

Yeah OK - so it's been "going" for awhile here, but it's nothing like what it is in many other places. I mean I suspect most people have not even heard of it and if they have, they haven't actually celebrated or been involved in it at all.

laugh Lexy.

So what are we going to do for the women of AM? icon_wink

I, for one, would like to be showered with money and flowers.

Tulips are my favourite.

I realised I had made a grave error of judgment re Valentines day as soon as I remembered about steak and blowjob day coming up on the 14th of March. This womens day is just what I need to redeem myself so that I won't look like a complete hypocrite come S&BJ day.

It must be a failsafe mechanism invented by men who have a habit of ruining Valentine's day
a second chance contingency day

IMO

"Eccentricity is not, as some would believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd." (Edith Sitwell)

no noooo, way off track..

in the mall they setup stalls and workshops:

Learn how to clean
How to cook a steak
How to give a good BJ
How to do 2 things @ once in about a week's time.

and free showbags with an iron, french maids outfit(crotchless obviously) to make it international, some cooking utensils & a book "he's just not that into you, but thanks for the steak!! - yay womens day!
