As the month of March rolls around, I prepare to attend many events to celebrate International Women’s Day. I like to celebrate women all the time, and the global community of women in sports also gets extra amplification and well-deserved attention.
I also prepare to avoid the discussions from the “I’m just playing devil’s advocate” dudebro types who ponder why there isn’t an “International Man’s Day,” arguing if feminists really wanted equality then there would be a day celebrating men, too.
