Japan celebrates White Day in March, a day where the men are expected to buy their beloveds a gift. The day was created commercially though as a payback for Valentine's Day, which is all about the man getting spoiled.
Shock, horror. Men getting all the gifts? Everyone knows it's the other way round.
The fact that society thought it apt to deliberately add a day to the calender just to even things out sounds suspiciously symptomatic of the inherent values around the world that men are simply expected to be the providers.Japan celebrates White Day in March, a day where the men are expected to buy their... more

February 14: General Interest
278 : St. Valentine beheaded
On February 14 around the year 278 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, was executed.
Under the rule of Claudius the Cruel, Rome was involved in many unpopular and bloody campaigns. The emperor had to maintain a strong army, but was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army because of their strong attachment to their wives and families.
To get rid of the problem, Claudius banned all marriages and engagements in Rome. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.
When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Valentine was arrested and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. The sentence was carried out on February 14, on or about the year 270.
Legend also has it that while in jail, St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine."
For his great service, Valentine was named a saint after his death.
In truth, the exact origins and identity of St. Valentine are unclear. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of 14 February." One was a priest in Rome, the second one was a bishop of Interamna (now Terni, Italy) and the third St. Valentine was a martyr in the Roman province of Africa.
Legends vary on how the martyr's name became connected with romance. The date of his death may have become mingled with the Feast of Lupercalia, a pagan festival of love. On these occasions, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. In 496 AD, Pope Gelasius decided to put an end to the Feast of Lupercalia, and he declared that February 14 be celebrated as St Valentine's Day.
Gradually, February 14 became a date for exchanging love messages, poems and simple gifts such as flowers.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Golden Gate Bridge construction began on January 5, 1933. The project cost more than $35 million. Strauss was chief engineer in charge of overall design and construction of the bridge project. Strauss remained head of the project, overseeing day-to-day construction and making some groundbreaking contributions.
The bridge has approximately 1,200,000 total rivets.
The weight of the roadway is hung off of two cables that pass through the two main towers and are fixed in concrete at each end. Each cable is made of 27,572 strands of wire. There are 80,000 miles (129,000 km) of wire in each of the two main cables;[22] the total is sufficient to go around the world roughly 6 times.
The project was finished by April 1937, $1.3 million under budget.
The bridge-opening celebration began on 27 May 1937 and lasted for one week. The day before vehicle traffic was allowed, 200,000 people crossed by foot and roller skate.[4] On opening day, Mayor Angelo Rossi and other officials rode the ferry to Marin, then crossed the bridge in a motorcade past three ceremonial "barriers," the last a blockade of beauty queens who required Joseph Strauss to present the bridge to the Highway District before allowing him to pass. An official song, "There's a Silver Moon on the Golden Gate," was chosen to commemorate the event. Strauss wrote a poem that is now on the Golden Gate Bridge entitled "The Mighty Task is Done." The next day, President Roosevelt pushed a button in Washington, DC signaling the official start of vehicle traffic over the Bridge at noon. When the celebration got out of hand, the SFPD had a small riot in the uptown Polk Gulch area. Weeks of civil and cultural activities called "the Fiesta" followed. A statue of Strauss was moved in 1955 to a site near the bridge.

When it comes to courtship, mankind has nothing on the animal kingdom.
The evolutionary imperative of finding a suitable mate has produced a staggering array of rituals, from black grouse booty-shaking to mosquito duets and gender-bending octopi camouflage. It's a rare animal that doesn't seek romantic attention in a funky way.
Some of these rituals are designed to convey reproductive fitness. Others are meant to trick reluctant mates into a one-night stand. And — hermaphrodites withstanding — it's nearly always the males who try to catch the attention of ladies.
Maybe animals and humans aren't so different after all.
Black Grouse: Sometimes simple is best: just plain, old-fashioned booty-shaking, with males showing off their bright white posterior feathers and engaging in ritualized battles that look a bit like capoeira.
Abdopus aculeatus: This Indian Ocean octopus doesn't exactly display what people call courtship. Instead, the males mimic female coloration, allowing them to get close enough to a female to make mating possible. Sometimes, however, as in the video above, the guys just fight.
Hippopotamuses: Hippo ladies don't exactly go for metrosexuals. To impress them, males use their tails to fling their feces — a highly-efficient way of conveying olfactory cues about reproductive health.
Flatworms: Thankfully for humans, courtship doesn't involve figuring out which partner is male and female. Not so for the hermaphroditic flatworm, who settle their similarities with penis jousting contests. The winner gets to be the man in the relationship.
Horseshoe crabs: This primitive arthropod doesn't have any couple-specific rituals — at least, none that biologists can identify. But they make the list because they mate only during the summer, on beaches, under full moons. With that sort of romance, no wonder the species has survived for 350 million years.
Bighorn sheep: Like the Black Grouse, they don't do anything radical — they just do it well. Males fight to impress the ladies, running into each other head-first at high speed, their horns making a sound that reverberates for miles.
Elephants: In stark contrast to the animal world's more combative and deceitful mating rituals stands the elephant. Males conduct their courtship over a period of weeks, squirting females with water, bringing them food and generally proving how nice they are.
Mosquito: Most animal mating rituals involve a guy trying to impress a girl. Leave it to the lowly mosquito to rescue equality among the sexes: their song. Though the male's wings typically produce a sound with a frequency of 600 hertz, and the female's wings a 400 hertz song, each mating individual will adjust his her or sound so as to meet in the middle. The resulting harmonic convergence is, at 1200 hertz, a bit like love itself: more than the sum of its parts.When it comes to courtship, mankind has nothing on the animal kingdom.
