From encouraging to tacky, know why #InternationalWomensDay has gone viral on Twitter

It is for the second day in a row, the hashtag #InternationalWomensDay is trending on Twitter on Wednesday.
It was not surprising to find #InternationalWomensDay as one of the top trends on Tuesday (March 8), as the day is celebrated across the world as the International Women's Day.

However, as the hashtag continues to make its presence felt on Twitter on Wednesday, we will say it is nice to see women-related issues trending on cyberspace.

So, can we claim now that feminism is back? Maybe, that would be far-fetched.

Nevertheless, it is a positive sign and we need to celebrate it because a lot of men are also tweeting and wishing women across the world.
