Even though there's International Women's Day on March 8, never forget: As well as there are many kind and good-natured women who fulfill their duties faithfully and are always there in case of need, willing to help, there are also as many of them which make more of a resemblance to Goebbel's wife.

Yeah...It is because we are not really supposed to celebrate women for the sake of women. As if being a woman is what defines you.

Thank you so much for your great comment on my post. You totally nailed it. I just didn't have time to reply there.

This is a very good sentence.

Even though I can understand it to a good degree that your (correct) sex can matter a lot to you, still I must insist at the same time this isn't all that there is to a person. A person also has a character. And if that one is crappy, it can be whatever kind of virtuous thing in flesh (whatever is currently defined by zeitgeist as "virtuous"), it's not gonna turn the personality into gold...

Their duties? Such as...?

[matrixmann]

Such as fulfilling the promises and commitments they have voluntarily made to other people.

Or when given an objective task, nothing with evil or shady intent behind it, that they try to accomplish that demand.

"Spread your legs" doesn't belong to neither of the two, if that was the intent of the question. (As nobody would demand that of a man equally.)
