gelbes_gilatierIt is here, anyway.
Okay, where was I? Oh, right, International Women's Day! Yay!
I don't expect much about that in the media or on the street here, even if it's the 100th anniversary, seeing as today is crappy fucking Faschingsdienstag (Carneval Tuesday) which means people all over Germany get crazy and try to be "funny" but thank God I live in Prussia where we don't even know how to spell that (funny, not crazy... Prussians are pretty big on the crazy, even though for us all you call crazy would be considered normal... or something like that) and which saves us from the rest of German "humor" (don't get me wrong, we have some really great entertainers and comedians... just not during carneval).
Yes, I do hate carneval with a fiery passion and Aschermittwoch (Ash Wednesday) is like the most beautiful day of the year, right after Christmas because it means the "fun" is over. And what kind of God (since carneval is supposed to have something to do with God...) would let this happen? Seriously... I hate carneval and thank God I don't live in a carneval crazy federal state anymore. I swear, I will never ever in my entire life move to Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Mainz or any other of those towns where the only way to get away from the drunken masses is to leave town or maybe even country.
Anyway... for those of us who don't care for too much drink and too many rotten jokes, there's International Women's Day to celebrate, and I do believe that's just a bit more worthy. So come on, girls (and boys, of course), tell me about a woman you admire or that you love or link fantastic fic to me, recommend books to me about women that did great, link news articles to me, give me red carnations and you shall receive some (because that's what the party I'm a member of still does as a tradition: we give red carnations to women in the streets and wish them a happy Women's Day... when I used to work for them, all the women who worked there had one on their desk and yes, I really, really, really miss that and I wish I'd had the guts to go to my managers and tell them that hey, especially in an environment like my workplace where women are in leadership postions but otherwise scarcely to be found, shouldn't we do something about that?). Let's all have a great International Women's Day :D

Allerdings kann ich mich nicht für eine Frau entscheiden, das ist ungefähr so unmöglich, wie einen weiblichen Lieblingscharakter zu wählen. *gg*
Ich reduzier es aber auf die Allernötigsten. ;)
~ Amanda Tapping
Nicht nur, weil sie uns Sam und Helen gebracht hat und generell... so wundervoll ist, sondern auch weil sie eine Feministin und Idealistin ist und generell großartig ist und großartige Dinge tut. Und ich meine nicht nur Sanctuary for Kids.
~ Stana Katic
Weil, wie jemand im Fandom mal sagte, sogar ihre Smilies süß sind. Und ja, das ist ein Grund. *gg*
Und:
~ Meine Heilpraktikerin
Nicht nur, weil ich ohne sie die Ausbildung machen würde... und nicht dort machen könnte, wo ich sie mache, sondern aus tausend anderen Gründen, die hier wirklich den Rahmen sprengen würden.
Oh und alle meine anderen HP-Mädels, Lehrerinnen, Mitschülerinnen, Seminarleiterinnen, weil ich letzte Woche erst gedacht habe - trotz des Totalausfalls auf dem letzten Seminar - dass das genau die Leute sind, mit denen ich mein Leben verbringen möchte.
Außerdem natürlich bis auf verschwindend geringe Ausnahmen alle Mädels in meinem Leben, meine beste Freundin (WEIL!), meine Internet-Mädels... und du (okay, du bist auch eins meiner Internet Mädels [da kommst du jetzt nicht mehr raus], aber trotzdem), aus dem gleichen Grund, den ich dir schonmal per Twitter-DM genannt habe: Weil du keine Angst vor dem Wort "Feminismus" hast. :D
Hach... und jetzt bin ich ganz sentimental...
Oh und dann ist da noch eine Frau, über die ich heute noch bloggen werde (hoffentlich! *gg*). Inklusive Buchempfehlung. ;)
Ich schick dir den Link vorbei. *g*
