8th of March is well-known as an international Women’s Day. Although in
Poland we mainly associate this holiday with times of communism and PRL, it
actually came from United States and was originally established in honour of women
who died in fighting for gender equality. It all begun on march 8th in
1908, when 15 000 women who worked for a fashion industry in New York initiated
a strike with postulates of equal solarise. In 1909 The Socialist Party of
America designated 28th of February to honour them. Later, in 1910- during the meeting in Copenhagen-
The Socialist International established that the Women’s Day should have an
international character and should be considered the day when women are appreciated
for their achievements. Nowadays Women’s Day is rather a commercial holiday, we
celebrate it through flowers and chocolates, some shops prepare special discounts
for this day, etc. Most of the feminists doesn’t recognise this holiday and
thinks that we forgot that it should be an opportunity to discuss the discrimination,
problems of equality and the future for women. In my opinion every day should
be the Women’s Day. We shouldn’t limit ourselves to only one day during the
year to honour and show our appreciation to all the great women we know.
Being royal has plenty of perks, but it’s not always that great to be a part of the Family. Anyone who has ever watched The Crown or any other documentary about British Royal Family, knows that with the power and privileges come also responsibilities and set of rules they’re obligated to follow. You might have already heard about some of the Royals weird traditions, this is the list of 5 rules that I, personally, find the most bizarre. 1. They can not play Monopoly Why? It’s simple. Prince Andrew, Elisabeth II’s son, once he took part in some public event. He’s been introduced to the game and its rules, but he didn’t quite liked it. Therefore, he decided that Monopoly should be forbidden and members of the family should not be allowed to play it. 2. The British Royal Family can not eat seafood Seafood can cause food poisoning, that’s why the Royals can not eat crabs, mussels or shrimps. 3. They have to weight themselves before and after the Christmas Diner
