In honor of Women’s day, I thought I’d put up a post in recognition of the passing of the only holiday in Central Asia that I really felt was necessary. The women of Central Asia are heroes and martyrs, and their troubles are as long as their history. Admitting the problems is the first step to recovery, as any AA member will tell you. In any case, I hope that this post finds some well meaning Central Asian men and makes them appreciate the people that really keep the place running.
What would they do without them?
Here’s hoping we’ll live to see equal pay for equal work, equal treatment, and the end of gender inequality.

Amen. I can extend your hope to the Caucasus and Russia as well. And, though the holiday is not celebrated there, to Afghanistan as well.
