In US we don't recognize or celebrate this day. There's mothers day and fathers day but nothing for women or men in general.

If the guys on WTR are indicative of guys in Moscow, and I'm sure they are, then you honey should score big time!

She's going to get a little something for Men's day for me.... Regards Usualsuspect
