How would you feel if a man wished you a Happy International Women’s Day?

I was writing out messages to send to the women in my life, mainly friends, family and those I’m generally close to to wish them a Happy Women’s Day to show appreciation and support. I have typically done this for the last 4-5 years since I learned about it.

However, recently I came across a post from a couple years ago where there were women saying if they received this kind of message they either wouldn’t really care for it or would feel weirded out by it. When I looked more into it, I found similar Reddit threads and posts. I know it’s not as well known in the US and I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it, but I’ve become a little hesitant on whether I should send these messages or not. I may just be overthinking though as I tend to often do. I was curious about others’ thoughts on the matter?
