Could you explain to us why you need the information? It might help us help you.

You may want to start by looking at the Matka Polka stereotype and the life/work balance that many Polish women are struggling with. You could also look at the generational differences and geographic differences (city vs village, west vs east).

This subject is so big that it's impossible to know what to write. You must be much more specific.

But one thing I can say, gender roles are changing in Poland, it's a complex and dynamic situation right know.

All I can say is that Polish feminists (some call them femi-fascists!!!) are a bunch of two-faced, conniving schemers and hypocrites. They want parity in parliamentary elections (the same number of male and female candidates), they're always on about being under represented in government, management posts, academia and the professions. Why is it you never hearing them clamouring for equal employment as dustmen (or is it dustpersons?!), ditch-diggers, coal-miners and other such occupations?!

Women have the upper hand in Poland.As far as I am concerned.

Would you agree or disagree that Poles are amongst the world's most hen-pecked males?

With Polish women this is no wonder.They can render any man to a pantoflarz not just Polish ones.(I am not sure about Russian men).
