If it helps at all, where I’m at, it’s known as ‘day of the feminist fight’. And it’s about commemorating the wins that feminism has already had but also marching and being angry at all the gender based discrimination that still exists. I as an nb personally love it. I know you won’t be able to change how the day is viewed around you and how you’re supposed to act on it, but maybe mentally you can see it as a feminist fighting day? Idk if that helps
I respect the holiday’s premise and honestly would love it but this is one of the national holidays and as such people are SO intense about it.
And I have never really seen anyone actually seeing feminism and liberation in this holiday. Hell, it’s the opposite, with all the stereotypes and misogyny!
But not all holidays are like this… there’s another one that literally celebrates men as ‘future soldiers’. I hate it so fucking much!

Eww yeah that’s absolutely disgusting. You’d think we’re in the 21st century now. I wish I could help you make it through this agony.
