March 8. As a holiday born?

07/03/2010

Oddly enough, but it all started with the U.S.. In 1857, in New York, the female team apparel and footwear factories left in the demonstration. They demanded a 10-hour (a 16-hour!) Workday, better working conditions, equal pay with men. In the midst of various trade union organizations is March 8, 1857 organized the first union, whose members were women. 51 years in 1908 in New York in protest demonstration was held 15000th, the main requirements of which was to raise wages, working conditions and equal voting rights with men. Police broke up, and this demonstration.

So despite the history of International Women's Day, it's safe to say that it originated in the "rotting capitalism."

Who is the real father of your children

11/12/2009

Ребенок, телегония More and more I notice that today's girls are proud of the relationship is not constant, but the number of sexual partners. Sex for many modern people do not become more intimate than "Walk on the handle." Who has not heard the phrase "Sex is not a reason for dating?". Is quantity turns into quality? Many girls are ashamed to say that they are innocent. In school, who used to compete or rather fuck who had stretched. Why did our ancestors of many cultures because of their cherished virginity of brides? Gregory the Theologian said: "The adulterer spoil his race." Why are so confused look on his old years?
