Womans day in Poland?

Moon is obviously him. Anyone who knows Polish language at least a bit knows that.


For some reason the flower most associated with Woman's Day is tulip.

Whens Mens day???

Women are so sexist, Its about time we stand up for our rights!!!

I thought Święto Kobiec (8th March) was a commie invention that Poles have scrubbed the way they have 22nd July (commie take-over day). It surely cannot be celebrated as widely as it was under communism, can it?

Well... maybe it's not as widely celebrated as it used to be or should I say it's celebrated in different way...
... still men in Poland remember about it and compliment women with flowers or chocolates or just send greetings... and it's nice...:)

INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY...when is it in Poland...?

I saw on the Polish news today some news about womens day , and it mentioned that in 1913 this day was changed to March 8th , it did not say what the date was before the change....?

What day is womens day in Poland , and how is it celebrated by women here , do the guys buy you gifts on this day...?

I am a bit puzzled as to what day it is in Poland...is it the 5th or the 8th...?

I just got a text from my Russian girlfriend to say that the school she teaches at is having a party to celebrate womens day today...? Is it also today in Poland...?

confused...?????

Its 8th of March. Consider yourself warned.

I shall make a note of it....but now i am puzzled as to why my Russian lady is in charge of a party to celebrate womens day today...? Perhaps they do it different in Moscow...?

I shall have to ask her when she comes on skype tonight....

Because parties on Monday usually don't have the same kick...

I can,t imagine its going to be a wild party...its at a music school for children where she is a teacher...but you never know...?

I wonder if they still have those "akademia ku czci" type of events in Russia?

Teachers also want to have some fun after children go home:D

If you tell me what one of those is...i will ask her...?

I have no idea how to translate it. It was a meeting of the whole school (students + teachers) in the biggest room at school, usually gymnasium, for the occasion like Lenin's birthday or anniversary of Soviet revolution. There were recitations of revolutionary poems, a lot of boring speeches, school choir would sing something patriotic and at the end dancing group would dance some folk dance. It was a blast! ;)

Oh dear...i don,t know how to break this to you gently...but dear old Comrade Lenin is dead , has been for some time...Also communism has kinda fallen out of favour too , so there is not much in the way of celebration of the revolution and stuff...

However , the Russians love their traditions , so there is often some kind of event going on at my ladies school...As well as being a teacher of Russian language , she also teaches Russian culture...

The school is a music school , for really gifted children , so most of the events tend to centre around some famous composer or musician...

Sorry to break the news about Lenin , but he had been ill for some time i think....

LOL

I forgot to say that those type of "akademia ku czci" were also held on International Women's Day. Cheers!

Well , i shall be chatting to my lady tonight when she gets home , so i shall be asking her about her womens day party...

I shall let you know what goes on in a 2010 akedemia ku czci in Moscow...

Oh...so Russia is on the 8th too....maybe they are having a four day vodka bender for the kids...amazing...!

Amazing, in most of these countries, I didn't expect women to have any right at all, not to even to mention a Woman's Day.

Many women choose to ignore this "celebrations" nowadays, the commies did everything to make us hate it ;)

Is nobody going to buy you a nice present on monday then Landora..?

When is Mens Day?
What would someone buy for a man?
I think a tie is nice.

men don't want us to buy them gifts. Really.

Yeah, women already do enough by giving birth and giving a guy this "gift of life" so they deserve 10 more women days.


That's OK. Just eat some bigos. It gives out a more feminine smell.
Will match your dress:)

I don't think so ;)
I usually don't even remember about all these days of this or that, I only remember about Grandfather's Day, just because he expects me to and I'm being nice :P

Well you learn something new every day..! I did not know about grandfathers day...

So , what is the usual gift for a woman on womens day then..?

i guess its different depending on if the woman is a friend , a relative or a girlfriend or wife...?

Oh , and i discovered that Russia does indeed have the same womens day as Poland , the only reason that they were having their party at my ladies school on friday was due to the fact the school is closed on monday....

8 march - women's day

... in 1h

with love to all PL female members (;

Is there a Men's Day? And if no why not? They get a diamond ring we get nothing...they get holidays we get nothing. I don't want to hear about "inequality" from a woman ever again ;)

Dziękujemy!

I join McCoy and the rest of the guys out here to wish all the best to all the women. Lots of happiness. Without you being happy we can only dream about our happiness ;)
