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.

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.
