Matriarchy in a Land of Patriarchy

March 8th is the only day of the year when the average Serbian "alpha male" voluntarily queues for flowers, with an expression of a man defending national interests. He buys roses decisively, as if signing a peace treaty. And at that moment, he appears strong. The very next day, however, he desperately asks: "Where are the trash bags? Where did I throw my socks last night?"
