They can still put in a full work day after taking care of personal stuff so they don't have to reduce their hours.


No, women aren't "cracking on with their lives" and are still not happy otherwise the topic of men not doing more domestic work for women wouldn't have even been brought up.

Ever hear of the "bykowe" tax in Poland? The "bull" or "unmarried man" tax? It was imposed several times Poland's history.

Who were the beneficiaries of this tax burden? Women of course.

Sure this was abolished each time it was introduced but in name only.

Since men earn more than women by virtue of working more than women then men are de facto paying more in taxes.

And who effectively is paying for a woman's care during pregnancy, childcare support thereafter and then health and pensions for women who retire earlier and again live longer than men?

The answer again is men and only men who are paying for women regardless of a man's marital status.

Yes, but it still wouldn't fully explain why 35% of women aged 20 - 64 don't work.

Number of live births in Poland from 1950 to 2022

"In 2022, the number of live births in Poland was the lowest since 2017 and amounted to 8.1 per thousand population. The highest rate was recorded in 1950 when the number of births per 1000 people was nearly 31."

Nowadays women only get pregnant to get out of work.

The only traditional expectation from a woman about getting pregnant is that having a child means someone will be there to care for her in old age since women still outlive men by nearly a decade.

I would love to see her explain how women are paying 50/50 ("if not more") in relationships while at the same time complaining there is a gender pay gap.

She must believe that women should befinancially compensated for doing domestic work if men are not doing it.

But she can't have it both ways.

If a wife doing unpaid domestic work is her way of meeting a 50/50 bargain with her husband's overall or complete financial contributions to the relationship then what is the problem?

Yeah, we know, we know, women are "tired".

Nah, the fact is these feminists never grew out of their "princess complex".

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


You must buy from Ikea. Cheap and cheerful!


Of course not, that's what domestic staff are paid to do.


50/50?

No, of course it isn't.

But since you say they do then provide the data you have to show this.

On second thought, don't bother. Just continue reading below.


Nope. The statistics simply do not support your feminist lies.

Gender Equality Index 2019: Poland

"The employment rate (of people aged 20-64) is 65% for women and 79% for men. On average, women work 38 hours per week and men 42 hours."

eige.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/20190371_mh0319024enn_pdf.pdf

Temporary absences from work higher for women than men

"The gap between the absence rates for men and women was also large in Hungary (13.2% for women and 5.5% for men), Poland (12.1% for women and 5.1% for men) and Latvia (12.0% for women and 5.0% for men)."



ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/ddn-20200708-2


Lies. See above. Women don't do anywhere near the same amount of work as men in order to earn the same amount of money in order to pay 50/50 for everything.


LOL! Lies! Never!


Lies. See above. Women don't do the same amount of work as men. Literally, women are not there as much as men to do it.


Tired from what? Being out all night clubbing before a workday? Having to get out of bed on a workday? Not being able to have a "lazy girl job"?




Yeah, right. Sure it is.

Behold the feminist fantasy:

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


You obviously don't care about scratching floors or damaging carpets. But then again women don't pay financially into relationships so the concept of responsibility that comes with ownership is truly alien to them.


Nor should he.

Since it is a man who buys or pays the rent on a home, along with all the furniture, plus the vacuum cleaner then this is the only heaving lifting a wife should expect from her husband when it comes to cleaning:



When women start paying 50/50 in money for everything in the relationship only then will they be able to speak with any credibility about "sharing".

It's generational.



But some are trying their best to indoctrinate the young and make the next generation of loyal Zionists to ensure the unceasing worship of Israel until the end of time.




Before October 7th here is where the death toll stood going back to 2008:



Looks like October 7th was a case of causality.



I'm sure many will disagree but that's okay because some people out there actually debate that the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 was mistake and shouldn't have been undertaken.


Good question.

It shouldn't be the United States. After all, America for decades has sent billions and billions of dollars in fealty over to Israel to "guarantee" their safety and security with bullets, bombs, barricades and border walls.

And yet October 7th still happened.

American taxpayers deserve a serious refund.

Indeed, what does Israel provide in return to the United States?

This is never talked about just like how Israel's deliberate attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 killing 34 and wounding 174 American servicemen is never talked about.



For many of you who are most likely never to have heard about this crime here is a good documentary (made in Britain not the US for obvious reasons) about this unforgivable act of state-sponsored terrorism:




Yes and no.

Both countries received aid and foreign investment to rebuild their infrastructures and economies.

Today they are modern and prosperous.

Demographics though tell a very different story.

Even if you put aside the devastating and intertwined policies of feminism and abortion, both countries genetically lost the strongest of their men to war.

For those who survived and the subsequent generations in both countries never again felt pride in themselves or their respective countries and this too contributed to the collapse in birthrates.

But that's okay because, at least in Germany's case, "gawd's chosen" already have plans and (US taxpayer) funds to help.

I understand.

Unfortunately, rape is recognized as something that is and has been used as a weapon of war in conflicts all over the world. Even US soldiers have committed rape both of the enemy and within their own ranks. Unlike in other parts of the world though at least with the US when such acts are discovered it is treated as a crime and the perpetrators are given prison sentences and their careers ruined.


There is too much bad blood between Israel and Palestinians but I hear they have actually cooperated on police related matters in the past.

It's not surprising though that Israel expects the entire world to be enraged and rally to support only them yet you don't ever hear a single word out of them when other countries are going through anything similar.

As I said in another post, both Israelis and Palestinians are foreigners. The responsibility is on both of them to find a solution to find a way to live separately and next to each other in peace.

It is better that both of them are over there than over here.

'There's No Such Thing as Palestinians': The Ignorant Bigotry of pro-Israel Propagandists

Ouch! And that's the view from inside Israel. LOL!

They Say, We Say: The Palestinians are not a real people

"The starting point is this: it makes no difference whether Israelis, or Jews, or anyone else recognize the Palestinians as a people.The Palestinians view themselves as a distinct people, with deep ties to the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Israel and supporters of Israel can neither deny nor wish the Palestinians and their claims out of existence.

There is ample historical documentation showing that a separate local identity among Arabs living in Palestine started forming in the 16th and 17th century, and that a national Palestinian consciousness began crystallizing early in the 20th century, as anti-colonial movements took root around the world. This national consciousness transformed into a national movement and later into a national liberation movement, in large part as a result of the friction between the Palestinians and Zionism, the Jewish national self-determination movement."

peacenow.org/page.php?name=they-say-we-say-the-palestinians-are-not-a-real-people

Well, many good points made there.

Is Israel qualified to be a self-governing sovereign nation? Not really.

First, they only exist because they need to be propped-up by the United States Government and religious fanatics on both sides of the Atlantic.

Second, they aren't qualified if you simply use the standard of needing a precedence of self-rule which is being applied only to the Palestinians.

The Romans finally expelled the Jews from Palestine in the 1st Century. That's not a good sign when claiming to be sovereign especially when you also have a long history of other neighboring powers (such as Egypt, Greece, Persia) also taking your land and sending you into exile too.

Once the Romans gave the Jews the final boot they lived in many other parts of the world but mainly Europe.

Yet in over 2,000 years they never once had a self-governing sovereign nation of their own until 1948.

So why was the State of Israel founded at all 75 years ago when they would have to go back to even before Roman times to show any formal tribal organization and then use their own religious texts (not valid in law by the way) to make territorial claims in the modern era?

That's like someone putting together a family tree as a hobby and then claiming to find a royal ancestor and using it as all the credentials that are needed to be a governor or president today.

Poland still recognizes and interacts with Palestine as a state.

Palestine currently has as much freedom under Zionist occupation as Poland did under Nazi and Soviet occupations.

"Never Saw So Many Feminists Being Silent" Over Attacks on Israel - Says Israeli Minister May Golan

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [70]


"Diplomatic relations between Poland and the PLO were established in July 1982 (after Israeli aggression in Lebanon). Representation of the PLO received the official status of a diplomatic mission, and its director - with the status of ambassador - the privilege of accreditation to the head of state. Renaming the PLO mission in Warsaw to "The Embassy of the Palestinian State" took place in 1989 during the visit of Mr. J. Arafat, due to the unilateral Palestinian decision. It was adopted by the Polish authorities (the Polish position resulted from the decision of the UN General Assembly from December 15, 1988 concerning the use of the name "Palestine" instead of "PLO"). As a result of the signing of the peace agreement between the PLO and Israel in 1995, the name "Embassy of Palestine" started to be used in order to stress the fact that the peace process will result in the creation of a Palestinian state. Poland supports the right of the Palestinian people to self-governance and its aspirations to achieving an independent Palestinian state as a result of the Middle East peace process."

gov.pl/web/palestine/bilateral-relations

All that needs to be established are permanent borders within their ancestral lands. Reasonably this would be what the UN proposed in 1948.

Even Poland didn't finally settle its border with German until 1990 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Polish_Border_Treaty).

Canada and America still haven't resolved their territorial disputes (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_areas_disputed_by_Canada_and_the_United_States).


You complain that a poll taken within the last 10 years isn't credible but a specious claim of Jews living in Palestine thousands of years ago and absent from there for just as long is relevant?

You said so yourself:


Like I said, you don't know what you are talking about and clearly don't want to.

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [70]


In other words, you don't know what you are talking about.


Exactly!

Jews from Central and Eastern Europe only migrated there with Britain's permission in the 1900s because they didn't want to participate in diversity, equity and inclusion in the societies of the countries they were actual born in and once they got to Palestine they didn't want to participate in diversity, equity and inclusion with the native non-Jews who were already living there for millennia.


Great, just give them all their land back.

Many Israelis don't want to live in Israel anyway.

Bye, the Beloved Country - Why Almost 40 Percent of Israelis Are Thinking of Emigrating

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [70]


What does that matter?

There were centuries when it simply didn't exist nor was it autonomous which is the same argument you are trying give for the Palestinians not "existing".

Congress Poland

"Following the partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, Poland ceased to exist as an independent nation for 123 years. The Congress Kingdom of Poland was theoretically granted considerable political autonomy by the liberal constitution. However, its rulers, the Russian emperors, generally disregarded any restrictions on their power. It was, therefore, little more than a puppet state in a personal union with the Russian Empire. Thus, from the start, Polish autonomy remained little more than fiction."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_Poland


Nor was there any real country of Israel before 1948.

Zionism originated in Central and Eastern Europe not Palestine. Zionists had to ask the British to be allowed to immigrate to Palestine.

This is all in the 1917 Balfour Declaration which mentions Palestine by name but Israel isn't mentioned anywhere.

The Balfour Declaration also recognizes "existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" and makes Jewish immigration conditional in that their entry into Palestine must not infringe on the civil and religious rights of the native population.



By the way, the Zionists in Palestine were first ruled under the British. The British then turned control over to the United Nations.

It was the United Nations that first proposed a two state solution.

Therefore, there never was a real country Israel whose liberation had to be fought for and freed.


So? No different than the State of Israel being self-recognized for a mere 75 years.

If you believe Jewish myths then why don't they resettle to the lands they claim they spent nearly a century in exile (i.e., ancient Babylon which is now modern day Iraq)?

Heck, they can go way back to the homeland of their prophet character Moses (i.e., Egypt) where as a people they claim to have lived for over 400 years.

Or they can go live in the land where this Moses person died (i.e., Jordan).

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]


The feminist movement was for the longest time regarded as strictly a battle between heterosexual men and women.

The trans issue was always there; just quietly tucked away for decades at the end of LGBT and regarded as a completely separate matter which would never cross over.


That's true. Unfortunately most women went along gleeful when woke women were attacking and tearing down normal men so women could enter men's spaces while maintaining a special places and privileges for themselves.

These same women who were enthralled with the drama of it all now look rather stupid if they object to the trans movement encroaching on female spaces when for decades they were complicit and mindlessly barking feminist dogma that men and women are equal and sex is a social construct.


That's women's fault. They can blame men for not "leaning-in" enough to support women. They can blame men all they want but at the end of the day women and women alone are responsible for the situation they find themselves in today.
