Life / Neoliberalism and family formation in Poland [100]


Or maybe they simply are like that?
Did it cross your mind that women are actually quite capable of being strong and independent?
That maybe, just maybe, we don't want to act (yes, act) like silly little helpless goose in order for man to feel like they are some macho act?

Buahaha, we care what you want...as long as it's what we want. LOL


They are not if the people involved like it that way. The thing is more and more women don't.


Yyy, that is weird. I guess I kind of understand but the thing is all good relationships I met were pretty good at simply having good time together.

Btw, you may want to give the marriage and kids a skip :)

Kaczyński?

I know what you mean but I do believe it's more an American pressure with that model family with 2-4 kids in a photo op. Similar as they have to be religious.

And the same goes the other way. Women won't force themselves into relationships with man that have different goals. Simple enough.

Being able to survive after husband disappears is caring for your family. Who will support the kids if the women won't think about that?


Yeah, that's why for ages women marriage opportunities were so closely related to their dowry


I included younger generations as well


I would say that's very American thing.


Since they want to have those relationships with women, yes, I would say it should matter what the women want. They may say it's not worth it in the end but that's a different matter.

It still doesn't, not really. If someone wants a family, they have it. More people simply find they prefer different life. Hard not to see that the childless people have more time and money. Having kids take sacrifice.

I think people are more conscious of the responsibility family takes.

Btw- housing situation is definitely a big thing. However again that is also due to increased expectations. People lived like sardines in the 80s and still had kids

My grandma worked- two kids.
My mom worked- four kids.
Actually all the women in my family worked and 99% have kids. Two don't, one from choice, the other due to the mixture of health and relationship issues.

Same here. Foreigners usually make a sound somewhere in between those two for both.

I just made myself an old style 'Polish' pizza ( I meant around 2000- 2015) with mushroom, ham, onion, red pepper, corn and egg. It was absolutely delicious 😋

Can't count on Poland with that anymore as pizza moved to fancier stuff like pear and sunflower seeds

Not to mention that being a sociopath is not a crime. It scares the rest of us but noone can help the way they feel (or don't)

I don't judge people's grief. We all deal differently. Some people need occupation to stay sane. E.G. my mom is like that. I can be like that too.

I didn't mean you personally. For one you are not a doctor to carry out the procedure.


Depends what you count as living. We declare people brain dead on regular basis.

Abortion is inevitable on human society. The question remains what will be allowed by society. I think less restrictive law would find support in Poland.

Well, you never had to even consider having to do that so not a surprise.


That is a different case I would admit. But I still think that 32 weeks gives plenty of time. It's just 5 weeks for term time delivery. Tbh I wouldn't give that much time for non medical terminations anyway.
