I'm writing this on Tuesday March 8, which is International Women's Day. Started in the early 1900's, it is still necessary to have a day to recognize and honor women over 100 years later...
From Wiki:
In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women for their economic, political, and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended the culture of many countries, primarily in Europe, especially those in theSoviet Bloc.[3] In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. Some people celebrate the day by wearing purple ribbons.

It's always a great day to love women. To love everyone, in fact.
Reach out to the females surrounding you TODAY and support, encourage and uplift. Its ok that its March 9. We are all on this one bus called Earth and we would do well to understand each other.
