All the leftist utopianists are known for their fancy rhetoric, coining new labels and expressions which through contstant media repetition soon become de rigueur to the brainless 'go-with-the-flow' crowd. Why couldn't dog's raised paw or bark be construed to mean 'I do!'

Such outlandish things are taking place or being demanded that nothing can surprise anyone anymore. Imagine women entering a men's room and then saying the urinals are offensive and should be removed.

I essentially agree with that statement which is 90% true. In fact only one word need be changed to make it read:
Feminism is the social movement seeking political, economic, and social CONTROL of both sexes.

To better understand how one-sided, partisan and 'hooray for our side' a movement it really is, please view or re-view:

Those hard-hitting facts are hard to refute!

What about professional tennis? And isn't the fact that boy scouts must accept girls but girl guides refuse entry to boys? I don't think things are quite that sick in the US YET, but who knows? With the way things are going soon people will be able to marry their pets.

That doesn't ease the plight of the starving masses. At least the Church is helping the needy all over the world
by feeding the hungry, aiding the sick, disabled and abandoned, running homeless shelters, soup kitchens and leper colonies, homes for unwedded mothers and many other care facuilties. Much more than the politcal gurus,

capitalist greed-mongers or popculture plutocrats.

Makes a lot of sense. Quite unlike the rants of foaming-at-the mouth feminists.
Maternity is a problem, but greater family input by husbands could alleviate it.
One can't blame employers who train a female worker only to have her go on materntiy leave.

Traditonal male jobs - in industry and mining, woodcutting, mechancial trades, taxis, seamen, etc., and female ones: secretary, nurse, teacher, shop assistant, waitrees, receptionist, etc. But since we now have male nurses and kindergarten teachers, why not female miners, skippers and loggers?

I agree. It's grossly unfair. Hopefully Pope Francis will do something about this. In fact, what do you think about the Tusks, Millers, Kaczyńskis, Rostkowskis and Piechocińskis of this world riding around in big pricey limousines when many of their compatriots, as you said, can barely make ends meet? Or the businessmen, bankers, actors, sports stars and other celebrities living high ont he hog in a world where half the people go to bed hungry?

Most of the funding comes from the NGO racket, generously bankrolled by Brussels. Women join an NGO for a feel-good sense of satisfaction that they are serving some cause, rise in the leadership and enjoy the benefits and prestige of membership, receive various forms of gratification, banquets, paid travel, delegations, hotels, restaurants, etc. That is the case not only in the 'feminist industry'. Many other so-called non-profit foundations earmark only a small amount of their assets for charitable purposes and eat and drink away the rest and even feather their nest a bit as well. The higher up in the NGO one goes, the more perks and privileges. Links? Just talk to people, circulate, surf the net. And use your common sense. In a country where the 'what's in it for me?' approach prevails most everywhere with the exception of Holy Mother the Church, that only stands to reason..

Either traditonal roles or parity.

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]

They can't have it both ways -- full parity where profitable and prestigious seats in parliament, cabinet posts, managerial positions in commerce and industry, the media and academia are concerned, but let them share the less attractive jobs as well. You can't have your cake and eat it.

Nothing wrong at all. But why stop at half-measures? To paraphrase Rokita: PARITY O MUERTE!

Only 50-50 occupational parity will do including unification of Olympic and other sporting events.
Inspectors should levy hefty fines against any employer not resepecting 50-50 parity in hiring practices. If a man his wife and their son are operating a small shop, they will have to take on a female worker to achieve pasrity. Whether they do enough business for that to pay -- well that's their problem. Equaltiy must prevail. Parity is supreme!

That is hardly an occupation. That is the victim of criminal activity.

The basic achievment will be to set up new councils, committees or other bodies so professional feminist and other NGO activists can milk the EU for more funds and feather theri nests. That's the reality.

The window dressing on the other hand will be fuill of pompous platitudes and high-sounding slogans designed to generate media interest and brainwash the gullible.

WOJCEK: two likely sources: 1) dervied from the first name Wojciech (Adalbert) which has generated such surnames as Wójcik, Wojciak, Wojcicki, Wojc, Wojcak, Wojcek and others; 2) a toponmyic tag from such localities as Wójcice or Wojcieszyce.

You're taking your life (and that of your family) into your hands. Have you ever driven a RHD vehicle in a LHD country? How to you even attempt to overtake a sluggish, fume-belching diesel bus when you cannot see oncoming traffic? If you decide to anyway, then repeat after me: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be.....etc., etc.

TV news reports are showing what an ordeal Tusk went through at the feminist free-for-all. Not only did head homophile Anna Zawwadzka give him the business for not enactign the shack-up law and not being supportive of homosexuals. He was also booed when he said he wiould not support any change in comrpomise abortion law now in place. No-one ever saw him so intimidated, forlorn and nonplussed. If he could, he would have crawled into the nearest mosue hole. I actually felt sorry for him. He sure was glad to get out of that place.

All women's issues? Under that heading there are all kinds of things which I don't know if you support.
-- Equal pay for equal work is an absolute must.
-- But some feminists insist on cushy, well-paid managerial and academic posts and would like to leave the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs to men. Where are the dustwiomen, minerettes and female lorry drivers??

-- If there is to be equality why have men's and women's Olympic comeptition? Everyone should be on equal footing and may the best 'person' win!

-- Much of today's feminism is permeated with more or less open misandry, the hatred of and negatuive stereotyping of males. Can one cure one form of discrimination with another?

-- Something called 'gender studies' is offered at American unis (maybe elsewhere as well?), and taxpayers' money is used to fund among other things classes teaching wiomen how to masturbate. collegefeministsconnect.org/2013/05/embracing-female- masturbation-by-chloe-vraney-also-last-week-was-clitoris-awarenes s-week.html - just in case any of the link-mongers speak up!

-- Feminism entrenches a 'me and them' dichotomy rather than stressing that we are all human beings first and foremost.
-- The Warsaw Women's Congress has set up a poltical council with a view to possibly evolving into a politcal party. Why is it most likely that it it will be a leftist, pro-abortionist and anticlerical grouping? Most Polish women are not!

Tusk was shouted down at the Women's Congress by radical pro-homosexual agitator Anna Zawadzka who screamed over a loud-hailer that he had neglected to force through the civil parntership law. Embarrassed by her outburst, delegates began loudly applading to drown out her verbal attacks and someone tried to take Zawadzka's loud-hailer away. Tusk said he hadn't been prepared to address the topic in his speech but added that going overboard with that issue could prove counterproductive.

Who said that? I didn't. All I said was that most Polish women are mainly concerned about their families and jobs. Family does not mean household drudgery and being chained to a cooker. It also involves enjoying family meals and watching TV together as well as outings, celebrations, summer holidays and other forms of having fun together. It also means sharing household chores -- some men are better cooks than their wives and don't mind doing the cooking. If a woman is better at mending the family car, let her go for it. Bringing children up should also be a joint undertaking -- single-parent homes usually deprive kids of ta fuller family dimension.


It is the socially left-wing posters with all their phoney political correctness drivel, hare-brained relativism and christophobia that pollute this forum.


But in a free country (and I presume you regard Tuskite Poland as such) everyone is free to discuss things. Discuss is a different verb than decide, innit? If not sure, please consuilt a hard-copy or online dictionary. The same difference emerges in Polish: dyskutować to nie decydować!

The Warsaw women's gathering is debating whether to create a women's party. But didn't writer Manuekla Gretkowska already set up a Partia Kobiet a few years ago?

I do not like deceptive euphemisms and try to expose them and urge people to think for themselves. Some people are content with empty slogans and trendy buzzwords. Don't you think it's sometimes good to analyse things a bit?

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]


Again ad personam. That's been your tactic all along: skirt the issue and avoid formualting a thoughful response by focusing on the person raising some issue. That proves absolutely nothign except that you've got nothing meanningful to say. The thread was about a misnomer. Polish Women's Congress clearly suggests it isi being held on behalf of Polish women, whereas it is represents only a certain section of Poland's female population. Feminist Forum, Leftist Women's Convention or even Progressive Women's Conference -- OK, so as not to mislead the public. The Środas and Sukas of this world or often spouting off on TV and there too they always act like the official spokespersons of the female half of Poland.

I care about everything that affects the family, the core of any society. Some people care only about their own, narrow, selfish, personal interests and forget the wise words of Dr Albert Schweitzer (a Protestant pastor BTW): 'Remember, you are not alone in this world. You're brother is here too.'

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]

The question is: why don't they make it more representative by including Catholics women's groups, pro-family associations, etc. and not just leftists, feminists and pro-abortionists. Otherwise, they should not call it the Polish Women's Congress but Polish Feminist Forum or something along those lines.

Not everyone on PF is that subtle about it. A certain small but loud-mouthed clique prefer tio ride rough-shiod over the Church, Catholicism and devout Catholics. Any semblancde of respect on their part is in extremely short supply.

Do you contend that these feminist groups and conferences represent the views of most ordinary Polish women rather than a small caste of academics, female politicians and professional activists? This was not a question of resepct but of establishing how representative they were.

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]

No-one claims no Polish women support the Środas and Szczukas of this world. But they are not representative of most Polish women. If this is important to you, maybe some CBOS poll might indicate the kind of support they enjoy. CBOS over the years has surveyed people on most every topic imaginable.
