Personal life Kalytko's mother suffered a great deal when giving birth to her as a result of the callous disregard for her needs displayed by physicians and midwives who, on March 8, insulted her sentiments and refused to listen to her pleas. Instead, they hurriedly sat down to celebrate International Women's Day. As an adult, she detests March 8 in its current form, her birthday, and the lack of female camaraderie and respect that older women show for younger ones. Additionally, when she was five years old, she quietly informed her grandma that she had no intention of getting married and that guys just caused her trouble since they were bothersome.
