[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9745196, member: 78949"]Well, ladies, I join the greetings but with a grain of salt (sorry, if the expression is not the right one :)). Why - 8th of March was introduced, established and widely applied as women's day by USSR in their bid to export and spread their ideology which included obligation for women to work, i.e. not to stay as housewives (yes, not a right but an obligation). It is a long story, I will not go into it now, this ideology has its pros and cons for the women but this is the reason why I am with mixed feelings about this day - because it is strongly connected with the communist times in the place where I am, and I have not so pleasant memories of these times. Anyway, as long as the it involves flowers, presents and celebration, I gladly accept that part of the holiday :joyful:[/QUOTE]
