Women and men are two opposites, two parallel, but at the same time, inseparable worlds.

 

Celebrating this holiday, let's not forget that admiration for a woman is not only admiration for her beauty and kindness, but, first of all, a tribute to a working woman, a manifestation of real concern for her.

 

When you think about what befell our women in the last centuries, it is both breathtaking and a lump comes to the throat: this is a great fate - great in happiness and great in tragedy. They survived the war, got an education, stood on a par with men in the construction of a new state and a new national economy, gave birth and, together with their country, brought up new generations of defenders and builders. Injustice sipped during the years of repression. And then they stood next to their husbands, brothers and sons during the years of the invasions and defended their state - at anti-aircraft guns, at the controls of aircraft, in medical battalions, at walkie-talkies and traffic controllers on military roads, in partisan detachments and underground, behind machine tools, in design bureaus , on the collective farm fields and so on.

 

The women's holiday began to "split up", Valentine's Day, Mother's Day appeared, they started talking about analogies even in the church calendar.

 

A special Mother's Day is good, but not as an alternative to Women's Day, but in addition to it. The understanding that we are talking about the one who is called to be a wife and mother, repeat this again, cannot and should not be removed from the image of a woman honored on Women's Day, from our, masculine, attitude towards her in principle. Especially from the attitude of our sons and grandchildren towards her, including when it comes to their peers.

 

Bemorepanda collected some interesting facts about International women's Day 2022.

It is unlikely that anyone will object to honoring believing women on the third Sunday after Easter, the Sunday of the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women, but one cannot fail to understand that the vector of the feeling honored on this holiday is different: from women to the One who came into our world in the form of a man. If we talk about the moment of the Gospel story, which most conveys the sacredness of the relationship to a woman and mother, then these are the words spoken by Jesus Christ at the dying moment, addressed to the Virgin Mary: "Woman! behold, your son." Note, not a brother in Christ, but a son; not a sister, but a mother. Moreover, we are talking about a personal call, not to all those of the students who were present at the execution, but only to one of them. And to Her - not about all of them, but only one of them, the one to whom Christ commanded a very important thing: to take Her into his house.

 

So on Women's Day on 8th March, let's hug all our wonderful grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, beloved women, and delight them with beautiful bouquets and gifts dear to their hearts! We will remember those of our dear women who are no longer with us, we will put flowers to their portrait. Congratulations to all our fair sex colleagues at work. Mentally - and whoever can, and personally - we will pay tribute to our truly great contemporaries.

 

And most importantly: when celebrating this "holiday of admiration for women", let's not forget that admiration for a woman is not only admiration for her beauty and kindness, but, first of all, a tribute to a working woman (by the way, they are not only in age, but also young), a woman-keeper of the hearth, a manifestation of real concern for her!

Reddit users made fun of a girl looking for a sponsor by the name of Rita, who incorrectly translated part of the profile for a dating site into English. A screenshot of her Tinder profile was posted by DoctorPoopTrain.

The girl’s profile was written in Ukrainian. She indicated that she graduated from the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University. In the profile description, the girl said that she considers herself a Ukrainian propagandist, is attentive to the environment and loves people playing the guitar.

In addition, the Ukrainian wrote that she needed “her own diabetic father” (I need my own Diabetic Father) - the author of a post on Reddit explained that this strange construction is an incorrect automatic translation of the phrase sugar daddy. Literally, it is translated into Russian as "sugar daddy." This term refers to the format of relationships in which wealthy men support girls or boys, who are usually much younger than them.

In the comments, users laughed at the failed translation of Ukrainian. “I was pretty successful at Tinder with an aspartame uncle,” Devilery joked. The girl was also advised to pay attention to the “Glucose grandfather”, “Sugar half-brother” or “Carbohydrate guardian”.

“My father has diabetes, you should definitely send her a picture of his penis!” - wrote diarrhea_shnitzel, but its acuity caused a lot of questions: users were interested in how he got such pictures.

In 2015, the site SeekingArrangement claims to have over 1.4 million students among its members, comprising 42 percent of registrants. Almost one million of these are in the United States.

According to the SeekingArrangement website, 36% of "gifts" received by women using their site was spent on tuition payments, while 23% was used to pay rent. The rest was spent on books, transportation, clothes, and other items. However, more than just students, "sugar-dating" is also prevalent in the older age range

When we find an old thing that belongs to our relatives, we expect that it will be somehow connected with the loved ones of this person. For example, when we find a family photo album, we assume that inside there will be pictures of your parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters. But when a woman named Daisy Alioto found a beautiful heart-shaped pendant that belonged to her grandmother and opened it, inside she did not find a photograph of her close relatives. But there were pictures that did not disappoint her in the least.

 

American writer and editor Daisy Alioto opened a beautiful antique medallion of her step-grandmother, and what she found inside did not disappoint her for a second, although she was quite surprised

The woman was curious to find out what her step-grandmother kept in this wonderful locket and she tried to find out.

 

“I spent quite a long time to open my grandmother's antique medallion ...”, - wrote Daisy

What do people usually keep in such heart-shaped pendants? It is logical to assume that the majority put there photographs of people who are close and dear to their hearts, be they their spouses, children or grandchildren.

 

"... but it was worth it"

However, Granny Daisy had other favorites in the family that she wanted to keep a long memory of.

 

Inside the heart-shaped pendant were black and white photographs of a golden retriever and a cat, and this find was too cute not to share with others.

Agree, such a find can melt any heart.

  

The woman tweeted her find and her post went viral, prompting other people to share what is stored in their pendants.

 

“I hope that if my nephew's children find my pendant, they will not be disappointed either,” said one Web user.

 

"RIP", another woman wrote, showing a locket containing pictures of her pet

 

And this soulful snapshot, which is carefully stored inside the pendant, was shared by a third Twitter user

The best and closest friend can be not only a person, but also a beloved and dear pet.
