近日，一则Instagram帖子声称苹果公司从日历中移除了国际妇女节，引发广泛关注。然而，事实并非如此。尽管谷歌日历近期确实移除了包括黑人历史月、骄傲月等多个节日，并声称此举仅为包含公共假期和国家纪念日，但其时间点恰逢特朗普政府推动反多元化政策之际，引发公众强烈抗议。虽然包括Meta和谷歌在内的科技公司已开始遵守相关政策，例如移除多元化、公平和包容(DEI)项目，但苹果公司表示，其日历从未包含国际妇女节或妇女历史月。因此，关于苹果移除国际妇女节的说法实为不实信息。

🗓️ 国际妇女节起源于1911年，旨在庆祝女性成就并倡导女性权益，现由全球多个团体运营，且恰逢女性历史月。

📢 Instagram帖子声称苹果公司移除了国际妇女节，该帖子在发布后获得了超过41,000个赞，引发了公众对于科技公司是否屈服于反多元化压力的担忧。

🍎 据Politifact报道，苹果公司表示其日历从未包含国际妇女节或妇女历史月，因此关于苹果移除国际妇女节的说法不实。尽管如此，该事件反映了公众对于科技公司在多元化问题上的立场的高度敏感。

This week, a viral Instagram post stated that Apple cut International Women's Day (March 8) from its calendar — but that's not quite right.

Bellesa, a sex toy brand, posted on March 4, "Apple quietly removed International Women's Day from the calendar. That's weird." The carousel post goes on to explain how one can add it to their own Apple Calendar. International Women's Day was first observed in 1911, according to the IWD website, and is now run by various groups across the world. It's nestled in Women's History Month, and is a day to celebrate women's achievements and advocate for their rights.

This post, which has over 41,000 likes as of publication, came after Google Calendar removed Black History Month, Pride Month, and more holidays around three weeks ago. The tech giant stated it was due to a move to only include public holidays and national observances, but the removals prompted public outrage, as their timing aligns with the anti-diversity push fueled by Donald Trump's second presidential term.

Since coming back into office in January, Trump has overseen the removal of LGBTQ White House pages and language about queer and trans people on other government websites, as part of an overall crusade to end Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Tech companies have started to comply with this, such as Meta and Google removing its DEI programs. (Apple shareholders recently voted to keep its DEI policies.)

Given the anti-DEI push, commenters easily believed that Apple made this move. But according to Politifact, this isn't the case because Apple apparently never had International Women's Day on its calendar in the first place. Apple told Politifact that neither International Women's Day nor Women's History Month were ever featured on Apple Calendar.

Mashable has reached out to both Apple and Bellesa, and will update this story if we hear back.
