I'm a simple emigrant, just kidding, just kidding, this will be about International Women's Day

The Day of the Resistance of working-class and peasant women to bourgeois oppression, which gradually became the Day of Love and Spring, originated precisely in Germany. More than a hundred years ago, German activist Clara Zetkin proposed making March 8 a day of struggle by the female half of the population for their rights. Back then, flowers weren't on anyone's mind — there were more serious ideas: shortening the working day, increasing wages. Despite its history, today in Germany this holiday is celebrated mainly by immigrants, sometimes by the older generation. And even then, the celebrations rarely consist of bouquets of flowers or dining out. Mostly, on March 8, there are women's parades and demonstrations. There are quite a lot of events just for women, special promotions and discounts, or, for example, a club program where that evening the DJ is all women. This day is not a national holiday, and only from this year, and only in Berlin, has International Women's Day become a red-letter day on the calendar. And here in Frankfurt, tomorrow they promise various marches all day. #holidays
