We don't celebrate communist holidays in the US (e.g., May Day).
It's not just communist countries that celebrate International Women's Day, though it's true it's only in Russia and the neighbouring countries that just about everybody seems to get two and a half days off for it...
Women's Day is an official UN initiative since 1977, and the irony is that a decade before it became a communist holiday (an early step of the revolution in fact), it was first an initiative of socialist American women....
But the "communist holiday" makes such a good excuse for the more retrograde forces in the US not to adopt this "holiday" (which isn't one in most countries, just a day devoted to women and women rights). Mind you, it's probably better that way, they'd find a way to turn this into a purely commercial holiday like every other.
So it's International Women's Day today.

Deliberately celebrated on the first Monday in September; 1 May is "Loyalty Day."

Yes, yes, the US likes to be obstinate. Even so.

Yes, but "socialist American women" are usually the ugly ones that don't shave their armpits.

Unions are themselves controversial, as I'm sure you're aware.

I don't suppose there's much of a point to try moving it.

To paraphrase Office Space: I do believe you'd get your ass kicked here for singing that.

Once again: if the Pill is used to correct health problems IT IS NOT CONTRACEPTION

And... it's still the same pill, regardless of why it's being prescribed.

If the Catholic Church recognizes that exception, they would be well served to say so.

I don't give a flying fuck about the Catholic Church's position on this.

I first put '50s, then figured surely many would be older still.
