    ds is nt a day which ws chosen fo notin .. till 1900+ women were nt treated as human beings n hv fought fo years n years to get our "human" rights . "This is like Remembrance Day afta million ppl died during da Second WW, ds is fo rememba and sayin "thank u" 2 all da women who hv fought for our future ..
    Accepted every word of it. But my problem is with the concept. Why have a spereate day? We should be grateful to them day-and-day out of our lives. Having a specific day for that will mean that, the sacrifices made by them will be commercialized in the form of celebrations and various other useless activities. There work should be appriciated, not on one day of the year, but on every day of the year.

    without them v would still treated in d@ humanless way n I dnt think we would had got a chance to come to EK: P .. Men hv always had everythin, women were always recognized as "nothing", n this stil continues in many countries.
    This is the classcal brain washing of the western education and you've become a big victim of it. The respect shown for women in Buddhist countries are far greater than that of Christian/Catholic or Muslim countries. Before the europeans ruined this country, it was said, a woman can walk from Devundara to Pt. Pedro alone with a big jewel safely.

    There is no such concept as "equal" in our society. It is the "rightful" place and ladies gets preferences in many things over men in our society. And there are occasions where it is vice versa.

    Trying to inject this mal-concept of "equity" will hamper the concept of "mother" which is central to our society, and children will be the ones to suffer.

    And finally, we don't want Westerners to teach us about human rights, women's rights blah . . blah . . We've practiced it way before them.

    yeah...u're right...i've grwn up in here..so mayb i got sum differnt tought abt this..anyway, western n eastern cultures r totaly diffrnt... as u told our country got a great respect fo wht is the "woman" n the "mother" result of being more attached to the mother thn 2 the father .. of course, here this concept is takn differently ... daughters hv a different relationship with their mother compliance our culture .. and i personally respct our culture n i think thaz autentic,although globalizationz changin everythin .. My point wsnt d@ .. I was speaking abt the situation of humanless behaviour against the women; nt of equal liberty n the bein same as men, b'coz the concept of "woman" would lose ... but I dnt think itz right that woman is treated brutally by men ... And I was not speaking abt Sri-Lanka ... but how was the Europe and hw r stil sum countries in ths world ... Our minimum rights n dignity canot b denied, because the human is the same n da freedom of beein a person is our human right!.. you are talking without understandin my concept. This day was chosn afta protests took place on 8 March in sm countries in da world n coz of a sake into a factory tht causd many victimz..-
