Red Roses in the Snow: Mongolia Celebrates Women's Day

There is another blogger out there in blogland with regular posts on what is so amazing about Mongolia. If i had a series like that, i would have had good one today. When I stepped out of an overpopulated State Department Store, i have to make my way through people selling red roses, people buying red roses, people looking at red roses, people carrying red roses and the rest probably already bought/sold/saw/carried their red roses earlier today.
And during this rose extravaganza, small white snow flakes were coming down from the sky while the mercury was still well subzero. Amazing.

Women's day has been "scaring" us, men, many years now. I don't know if we need this. We can praise our women everyday and show how we men respect and love them. I mean, it's ridiculous to dedicate one particular day out of 365, and "show" our love and respect by switching the roles on that day, cooking,cleaning and stay home while wife goes out and get drunk. There is always a possibility to have a big "drama" on that day, negative and tragic.
Our women are just used to it and I think we need to eliminate this "tradition". Anyone has an idea, how?
