Putin finished his letter by informing women everywhere that they were beloved by their menfolk.

“Most importantly, we love and treasure you,” he wrote. “No wonder men have been celebrating women in music and poetry for centuries. Konstantin Balmont, a Russian Silver Age poet, described women in a vivid and precise manner: A woman – with us when we are born, a woman – with us in our last hour, a woman – our standard during battle, a woman – the joy of open eyes.

“We always turn to women for inspiration and consolation, and always find it. Women give us life and perpetuate it in our children.”

Hmm. Remind you of anything?

Vladimir Putin literally just said the words: “I’m not a woman so I don’t have bad days”
