How not to congratulate on March 8

You - our office decoration

Do you think you no harm meant, simply call colleagues beautiful. But the decoration - a ring on his finger, ficus on the windowsill, a gold tooth in the mouth of a drug lord, that is, all those cute and useless trinkets, which are at best emphasize status of the owner. And congratulations to your colleagues are, exhausted jobs involving all hands, have every right to be offended.

According to the International Labor Organization, women in Russia are 30%Global Wage Report 2014/15. less than men holding the same position.

At the same calculations that take into account objective parameters when assigning salaries (level of education, skills) showed that the salary of a Russian woman has to be higher than that of the carrier Y-chromosome with the same specialty, 11,1%. And who here on earth, office decoration.

So that colleagues wish to better things that come in handy at work: interesting projects, pliable customers thronging the threshold of investors and, of course, to

Chief I noticed all the achievements and accomplishments. The latter is especially important, if the boss - it's you.

I wish to remain / be gentle, kind, caring

It should immediately be noted that the phrase "to be" seems more innocuous than "being". You seem to celebrate the positive qualities of the lady and you want it to stay the same. The second version just does not hold water, because it is a desperate attempt to show that a person is wrong and what he should be.

We now move on to the second part of congratulations. Gentle, kind, caring, affectionate, patient - all these qualities are considered stereotypically feminine and beneficial to anyone other than the addressee congratulations. Good can be made to do what you need to outweigh the lion's share of caring routine hassle tender will not argue when your mind comes a strange idea.

It is better to replace the word duty on individual needs. If you are not familiar with women who want to dream come true, and self-realization - it's hard to miss.

In this celebration of all mothers ...

If the Day of Defender of the Fatherland is still possible to argue Objector you trembling or have the right to celebrate the 8th of March - not a field for discussion. It's completely gender holiday. It is enough to consider himself as a woman, to celebrate it. And to give birth at the same time is not necessary.

And enough to identify the woman through her interaction with others and find out whose it is mother, grandmother or sister to congratulate. It is in itself a separate and valuable person, and all International Women's Day is about.

I want to be always young

You can talk about a young soul, but youth is linked to a calendar. The Russian official you get to this age group up to 30Russian Federation Government Decree of 29.11.2014 N 2403-r "On approval of the Fundamentals of State Youth Policy of the Russian Federation for the period till 2025". years, in some cases - up to 35. Stay young forever is possible only with the tragic events and the continuation "in our hearts." In other cases, it is an impossible wish, which translates that a woman is valuable, while she is young.

You're a real woman, so ...

Perhaps somewhere invented meter femininity. But it is hardly embedded in you, so that you can make such strong statements. In 2018 as a whole naive to speak in the public space of the criteria for a "real woman", who entered in your head. And those who it does not match, the fake?

In addition, many of the stereotypical criteria can actually be offensive. Not everyone wants to be considered a weak and quivering violets, which constantly need to be saved and protected.

Let men admire / fall at the feet of

Move in space, when someone always falls at his feet, uncomfortable and unsafe. And not so many women in need of mass worship. Men admired considering how many are accustomed to express his, often borders on harassment, and the whistle of the machines, meaningful winks and obsessive attempts to spend more frightening than encouraging.

You good husband and kids

It seems that in polite society does not need to be reminded that the people themselves are able to determine whether they need a relationship and children. I wish you happiness in your personal life in the broadest sense, and there too the lady herself will understand who she needed and in what quantities: a man, a woman or 40 cats.

Today you finally be able to relax, all the worries on her husband

You can skip this remark on deaf ears or find a joke, if the family has all the responsibilities are divided equally. For the rest, it's extremely irritating reminder that all other days a heap of unpleasant but necessary duty unjustly designated for one person. Moreover, despite the stereotypes often hang shelves are women.

I wish my husband a big salary

Great desire for her husband. Circle your calendar on his birthday and greeting reserved. A woman wants to get herself a decent salary. At least for the feeling of safety in case something goes wrong in her personal life. Then to those who wished her husband a big salary, not sneered at her, that she can not get away from domestic tyrant in some sneakers.

I wish that my husband and son defended

Hardly a woman is ready to risk her husband and son in a truly critical situation. Especially in the International Women's Day is better to move away from the myth of the noble man-defender and look at the facts.

according to statistics,Women and men of Russia - 2016Among convicted of killing 86.5% - men, for torture - 94.9%, rape - 99.6%, for robbery - 93.3%. So it would be just fine if the stronger sex stopped attacking.

I want to be a good housewife

This greeting is the right to life, if it is a continuation. For example, "I wish to be a good housewife mansion, I'll give you." Otherwise, you just want a woman a little kitchen slavery.

The phrase "good housewife" has nothing to do with the popular prints American 50s and does not imply dresses by Dior and bustle on her friends and shopping before the arrival of her husband from work. The cleaning of the toilet, sorting other people's dirty laundry, dishes laundering stubborn food residues nothing glamorous.

Let sing in your honor streams, while men give flowers

On March 8 the case created a lot of ready-made greetings, the most terrible of them - in verse. It makes them one thing: they do not take into account the problems faced by women. The absence of color is much easier to go through than the glass ceiling, wage inequality, the reluctance of employers to take women in some jobs, harassment, unfair distribution of household responsibilities, reproductive violence.

So let yourself singing streams, and the world is moving towards equal distribution of rights and responsibilities.
