Fun fact: in the past two decades, a
new trend has emerged. Due to the
four observances, St. Valentine’s Day,
Dragobete, Marţisor, and March 8,
when only women receive gifts, men
argued that this custom wasn’t quite
fair and started to claim a day of
their own. Thus, March 9 became,
unofficially, Men’s Day in Romania.
th
On this day, men who have been
particularly generous and kind to
women during the four holidays, are
being recognized and receive some
symbolic gifts as tokens of
appreciation from the women they
have made gifts to.
These items are not nearly as many
and as expensive, but they’re a small
measure of fairness, albeit far from
gender parity. In the end, mutual gift
exchanges between men and women
draw people closer, enhance
community spirit, bring Yin and Yang
in harmony, and contribute to more
balanced and better relationships, in
the family, at work, and throughout
the world.
