You may know that the comedian Richard Herring spends International Woman’s Day on Twitter answering this question (19th November). This year he is using it as a way of raising funds for Refuge. Here is the Just Giving page should anyone feel inclined.........

Richard Herrings does a brilliant job. His feed is endless and it's funny and frustrating by turn

For anyone who doesn't know - his whole point is mocking men who whine 'but what about men's day'

Women’s Day traditions come from Russia (where it called the 8th of March). It’s like a more inclusive version of Mother’s Day and arose from a lack of a day to celebrate women (men were celebrated as a bunch on the equivalent Veteran’s Day). So originally the thought process actually was “So why don’t women get a day too?” Rather ironically I suppose.
