International Women's Day
http://www.internationalwomens…
IWD is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.
Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day mixed together. In others, however, the political and human rights theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. The IWD is also celebrated as the first spring holiday, as in the listed countries the first day of March is considered the first day of the spring season.
Why do always 'women' sacrifice?

Do you wonder why is it that only women are expected to (and love to) sacrifice in all situations. If there is less of something, the woman will be the first to refuse it. If someone has to give up work for home responsibility, it has to be the woman. If someone has to wake up in the nights to change baby nappies, it has to be the woman (even if working). If the husband and wife like to watch different things on the telly, usually the husband's wishes will prevail. So on and so forth.
