We (don't) need Women's Day by Maarten Van Calster

Yes, we do!

I believe that celebrating women’s day is very important.

First of all, the lives of females are more difficult than those of their male counterparts. If we don’t recognize this fact or excuse it in the name of 'tradition', then we are working to keep the inequality intact.

Another argument is that we must do everything we can to guarantee equal rights for our fellow (wo)man. This is simply a moral duty for each person.

Also, women have come a long way in the last century, they won’t be stopped now. Not until we have a society that’s as fair as can be. Let's try to be on the right side of history.

For all the reasons above I think March 08 is a day to remember.

Mr. Van Calster

NO , We don't

^{In my opinion there should be no men's day or women's day, just everyone's day. A day made for everyone. No one has to work . The men will help with the homework. I have a few arguments to support this view

firstly that all women give their husbands a hug and vice versa that the men give their wives a hug that the women receive a bonus on their wages but that they give their husbands the best food}

^{also, that the men take their children somewhere for example an amusement park all morning so that the women can pass a quiet morning}

^{but that the women take the children in the afternoon so that the men can have a quiet afternoon.}

^{Another argument is that we shouldn't celebrate separately if we can celebrate together. The women and the men go out for a drink in a cafe, as they say: the more people, the better. Plus I think men should have a little more power just a little bit because I think when the war starts the men go in trenches and the women in hospitals or just stay at home}

^{For all the above reasons i feel that everyone can have a nice day without any quarrels or problems . Why do we always have to say who is the tallest or the smartest . Everyone is equal}

We do!

I think that we need women's day as much as we need men's day. I have a few arguments to support my opinion.

First of all, women still don't earn as much as men do, they still only earn 75% of what men earn.

Also, 1,7 billion women don't have their own bank account which is a lot. Women should have control over their own money.

Another argument is that not all women can attend high school. Also, 493 million women can't read and write. Women should have the same opportunities as men.

Moreover, 1 in 5 women are forced into marriage before the age of 18. That's 60 million child brides. The same for men, women should not get forced into something they don't even want to do.

For all the reasons above, I'm convinced that women's day is as important as men's day. Women should not suffer from the actions men do.

I think women's day is a very important day to celebrate. I will explain my opinion with a few arguments that i have.

First of all, i think that men and women should earn approximately the same amount. It's unacceptable for women to earn only 75% of the men.

Also, women have helped us a lot in the past to look after the children while the men were away. Without them, the children had to stay alone.

Another argument is that men and women- should have the same opportunities. There are many women who can't go to school because they can't read and write. It is 493 million women that can't read and write.

Moreover, a lot of women are forced to marry before the age of 18.

For all the reasons above, i think Women's Day should continue to be celebrated. Women's Day and Men's Day should be both celebrated.

I think that we need international women's day. I will tell you my opinion with a few arguments.

First of all, it is important that everyone is equal. That day shows that women are no less than men and that should be celebrated.

also women do the most to make a person come to life. They have to walk around in pain for 9 months to make a human. It is also not okay that abortion is not allowed in some countries. With this day we can show that women can choose whether they want a child or not.

another argument is that women are just as important as men. In most families, the men earn more money than the women, but the women also take care of their familie. They also keep their household in order.

Those are my arguments for saying that women's day should be celebrated.

women's day should be celebrated all over the world

2021-12-05 15:24:09 UTC

Women's day is very important because women are not respected all over the world.

Women also still do not earn as much as men. They earn 25% less and this should change because women can do the same work as men.

In several countries women are not allowed to work and sometimes have to get married at extremely young ages.

Women earn this day more than men in my opinion because men often have a less difficult life then men.

That's why i think that women's day is more important then men's day.

I think international whomen's day is a very important day because in my opnion everybody has to deserve the same rights. There are whomen wo can't go to school because of her gender, and i think that is not ok. First of all everyone is equal and everybody has to deserve the same rights because nobody is better than the other. And it is unacceptable for whomen to earn only 75%. And everybody needs eachother and that is a subject that everybody forgot. Men need's whomen and in the other way around. Also, whomen have helped us a lot in the past to look after the children while the men are working and earning the money. Everybody has to deserve the same right but also the same opportunities. Because opportunity is everything. And my last argument is: there is a international men's day so it is pretty normal that there is also a international whomen's day. And my final argument is: without whomen whe doesn't exist anymore because they become pregnant and made a baby, and that is something that men couldn't. Whomen are neccesary for exisiting.

Women's day is like mens day

2021-12-05 20:31:03 UTC

I think women's day is just like men's day, but women are less appreciated in the history.

First of all, I think that women should be more appreciated for all the work they did in the history and that they will be more appreciated in the time that comes.

Also, it's fun to have a men's day and a women's day, but I do think we don't hardly need it. We need to think that everyday is a women's day and a men's day. Not just 1 day in a year.

Another argument is that all the things that happens on women's day is not needed. There are many things brands do to appreciate women's day. But I think it's not needed because it's not on men's day either.

Moreover, I just think we need to appreciate ourselves everyday and be happy everyday and not just be happy on 1 day in the year that we have 'our' day.

I think we do need Internatiol women's day.

First of all, from the beginning of human excistence women were treated less than men. Even now they earn 25% less than men.

Also, as a women you are not always safe. All except the 1 in 3 women worldwide have expirienced physical or sexual violence.

Another argument is that most women are not allowed to learn new things, such as reading and writing, to be more specific all expect 493 million of the women's.

Moreover, 20% of the women are married before they turned 18 and some of them 15.

For all the reasons above I'm convinced that we should respect all women and keep International women's day.

Maite Aldenkamp

One day for all our women

ianokens — 2021-12-06 15:46:38 UTC

I have a few arguments to support this opinion.
First of all, it's the 21st century and should be entitled to basic human rights. Since there are 20 million trafficked women and children worldwide 98 per cent of whom are female.

Also, women should be entitled to get equally paid as their male co-workers. Who get paid 25% less even if they have the same function and work lonnger.

Another argument is that most women still abused or live in a household where domestic violence takes place in certain parts of the world where it isn't considered a crime.

Moreover, women aren't always treated equally or are safe. Woman aged between 15 and 44 are more at risk from 🤬 or domestic violence than from cancer car accidents, war, malaria, or any other preventable health issue.

For all the reasons above I'm convinced that our women need a special day to be reminded that they are special and respected by the rest of the world.
