Language / Is it possible to master the Polish language fluently for a non-Polish speaker? [120]
That will quite often give the same result e.g. czytywać, bywać, grywać
Guess I was easily mislead by the "-ywac" suffix:-)

I think just two would be necessary:
Outlaw the birth control and forbid women earning money.
Women have less kids simply because they can. They can stop getting pregnant and they can support themselves so they don't have to relay on husband, kids.
From what I know **** addiction actually decreases sex life and makes it less satisfactory.

But you described it as a personal issue and shouldn't affect their working hours. If that is the case why they don't pick up the kids?
And why do you think they trust their sisters, mothers ect?
Never saw such a manifesto in feminist movements and most definitely not in Poland where birth rates are dropping like crazy.
I am. My point is exactly that- tax system don't care and ask you to pay accordingly. Should everyone go around complaining about taxes of the people earning less?
No, it was a man. His son is 4 now.
As already pointed out women have a lower participation rate in the workforce but a higher absenteeism rate when compared to men.
But you described it as a personal issue and shouldn't affect their working hours. If that is the case why they don't pick up the kids?
Most women don't trust men around children anyway regardless of how close the relationship is.
And why do you think they trust their sisters, mothers ect?
For any women who do show interest in children they either want to have an "amazing career" first and then have only one child in their 30s or 40s

So can man get I don't see then that often with their kids
1- it affects those that actually did start families. More and more women don't. And crack on. But you don't like that either, do you?
2- it was Iron who started this.
Generally tax affects those who earn more, more.
But ok, women stop giving birth and work equally-happy? Ah no, right? Because you don't want women to actually go that way, do you?
I actually met this dad few months ago. He had two wives, divorced with the first, second died when the kid was 3 (mind you that is already pretty big kid, and things usually get easier at this time). He said after being a full time dad for few months he apologised to his first wife for how he was when they were married because he has no idea how she managed it all with 3 kids.
They can still put in a full work day after taking care of personal stuff so they don't have to reduce their hours.

otherwise the topic of men not doing more domestic work for women wouldn't have even been brought up.

2- it was Iron who started this.
Since men earn more than women by virtue of working more than women then men are de facto paying more in taxes.

Me neither. I lifted a couch on many occasions like this if I lost something under but never to clean-much better to move. And I would still rather do that job. Half a minute and done Vs vacuuming the whole place? Deal.
@Poloniusz
Noone said that all those money go into family budget. But I would be more than happy to go 50/50 in both (if he earns more he can keep the rest for himself). But that means taking paternity leave, child sickness 50/50, cooking, cleaning, diapers, mopping up vommit etc.
Usually women reduce their hours to drop off/pick up the kid from childcare, they take the care when kids are sick etc.
I actually know a couple when she works and he stays at home- she loves the piece of mind (still does most at home but hey ho). Not to worry when your kids starts coughing. Not stressing the the traffic is bad and you may not pick up your child on time etc.
The funny thing is- women have less kids, marry less often and crack on with their lives ( meaning they also pay for their own upkeep) so everybody is happy, right? Ah no, you don't want that either...
I've never seen a husband lifting a couch just so his wife could do the vacuuming lol

Me neither. I lifted a couch on many occasions like this if something fell under but for any proper cleaning it's simply better to move it. And if I had to choose I would rather lift the couch. Half a minute Vs 10, 15 or 20 minutes of vacuuming the whole place.
just in case you get an unwomanly impulse to abandon your domestic duties. A fabulous find!
