International Women's Day???

This day puts me in a dilemma with innumerable unanswered questions...questions which keep me pondering on the validity of the day. As a woman, do I feel insecure? Am I not sure of the freedom I enjoy? Is there still a huge gap between the two genders prevailing ? Do I need to celebrate this day and announce to the world that my identity seeks your approval???
These queries may take their own turn and interpretations may vary with every individual.
Going back to myths and popular beliefs, woman is an integral part of Creation in various forms...woman is revered, a symbol of Power, Sanctity.... all sources of creation given a feminine nomenclature.
Give me a break! Can we simply regard woman as a normal mortal being and pay due respect ? I do not feel the need to seek equality... the very question is deplorable- blaring out that there is no equality.
Sending mails, wishes and discussions should see the backdrop and make way to promoting our outlook!
