It's no secret that *WOMEN* have long been a standing equal to *MEN* and yet on this day, we still celebrate **International Women's Day**. If you ask me, it's an insult or more so a disgrace that we do. Do we need this global recognition so as we can cheer on what we have achieved all these years ? Or should it be to give thanks to those **FIRST WOMEN** who fought bravely for our independence ? I would choose the second, most definitely. Then again, it's just *ME*!

If I was back home in Malaysia, **WOMEN** are an accepted equal to **MEN** and there is no need to commemorate this day. Both *MEN* & *WOMEN* work side by side not just in the workplace but also at home. Stay home dads & career-breadwinner moms are a common thing for us. There is no disgrace in either jobs, instead we find pride in it. Having said that, we have long been a developing country and its citizens have definitely grown from when the **FIRST WOMEN** fought for her rights to vote in society.

##### Unfortunately, in Vietnam, it is a total opposite!

Not only do *children* commemorate their **MOMS**, even the *MEN* salute and solemnise this day for their *WOMEN*. Apart from **International Women's Day**, the Vietnam Government also commemorate **Vietnam Women's Day** on 20th October. It is a known fact that *Women* are the sole pillar in both work and home for this country. The female gender contribute far more than any men and is so much more hardworking. They are responsible to work and still perform their duties as a wife and mother to their children. *MEN* in many aspects are just a partial breadwinner to the family and spend most of their time sitting in coffeeshops from dusk till dawn seeping Iced Coffee.    

This unfortunately is the culture of the people in this country though I have to say that it is improving with the millennials. The *Millennial MEN* are slowly taking more responsibility in domestic skills and allowing their *WOMEN* to take a break once a while. Of course, it would be a long journey before we truly see an equal between *MEN* and *WOMEN* in this country.

So, for now and many more years to come, let us just sit back and continue to celebrate gloriously **International Women's Day** 🙄

**Life's NO Secret** is all about sharing; and it can be anything at all. Be it related to health, wealth, lifestyle or education. Sometimes, secrets are not really secrets. It's just that people don't talk about it or it's just been put aside until it becomes a topic to B****** about it. It could be anything under the sun; good, silly, fun, stupid or bad to some extend.

**Life's NO Secret** is an inspiration of my own in which I hope to share with all of you. **NO Secrets means NO Lies**. Just plain simple facts.
