What are some Leap day traditions?
Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. In many of today's cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. It is believed this tradition was started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year.
When is it traditionally permitted for a woman to propose marriage to man?
This question is quite impertinent. I will do the best I can in answering this. Tradition is tradition. A woman proposing to a man is not tradition. That does not mean is not acceptable and that it is not done. Now as far as what is permitted as far a proposal has no jurisdiction to that type of event. No one needs a permission to propose to anyone. If you uncomfortable with all of this, you as well as anyone has the right to refuse.

When did the tradition that women could propose to men on February 29 supposedly begin?
It is believed this tradition was started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year. According to English law, February 29th was ignored and had no legal status. Folks assumed that traditions would also have no status on that day. It was also reasoned that since the leap year day existed to fix a problem in the calendar, it could also be used to fix an old and unjust custom that only let men propose marriage. The first documentation of this practice dates back to 1288, when Scotland passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. They also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a leap year must pay a fine. The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.

Are buttons on different sides of clothing for men and women in all countries?
No, this is only tradition in certain countries. There is no consensus as to why this tradition originated, but some of my favorite theories are (and obviously these originated in an era with practically no equality): * The buttons are opposite so that women can more easily do the buttons up on a man's shirt when dressing him. * Mens buttons are so that when a sword is drawn from the left hip by your right hand, the hilt of the sword will not get snagged in the shirt. For women, they were not meant to fight, and so their clothing was opposite to "demonstrate" that they were peaceful.
