first off, i don’t take flowers for international women’s day.
you should see it. right now, streets of podgorica are covered, and i mean covered with women and men standing behind flower/make-up/perfume etc stands selling these things to people of montenegro to give to their wives/girlfriends/mothers/sisters this international women’s day.
the other 363 days in a year, men in montenegro are treating women as a… second class citizen? i am maybe taking this a little out of proportions, but this is my blog and i can do whatever i want 
(i am a 12 foot one eyed one horn flying purple people eater lol)
okay, joking aside, it’s still complete ignorance these men are giving these women flowers for international women’s day.
fact time:
What: International Women’s Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a national holiday.
Why: Suffragettes campaigned for women’s right to vote. The word ‘Suffragette’ is derived from the word “suffrage” meaning the right to vote. International Women’s Day honours the work of the Suffragettes, celebrates women’s success, and reminds of inequities still to be redressed. The first International Women’s Day event was run in 1911.
so, boys, this day is to show we are capable of buying our own flowers. (i have nothing against flowers, but i would rather get them when there’s no social obligation to gift them)
funny thing, james bond put on a dress in honor of iwd. i kinda like that
love,
