Women Empowerment

I always wonder what significance a single day (International Women's Day) can have in the male dominated society we live in, given its patriarchal ideals and views.
Because, the "change" we expect to materialise in the society, even for a day, would only be possible if we,

Treat kids of both the genders the same way. Educate and empower them both equally. Teach them both how to cook, wash, sweep and sew. 
Make them both strong and independent and capable. Help them understand that no job is too menial or too high for anybody, be it a man or a woman. Remove patriarchy at its very roots. Instill in them that both of them are equal by birth and neither, in any form, is superior to the other. Give them both, the freedom, the wisdom and the choice to choose, so they grow up to be each other's support and strength and, above all, learn to respect each other. 

This mindset, if and when, comes to existence, would mean a LOT more than a namesake day dedicated year after year, titled for identification, "Women's Day".
