Life / Unmedicated home birth in Poland? [7]

in Poland however the info I find is scarce on this..

It's not popular at all. None of my friends even considered it. I think the fear of complications, most midwifes etc working at hospitals etc, overcrowded housing for many decades

Poland has exceptional statistics on survival but there is problem with pain management, c section, treatment etc

Food / Polish cakes made in Poland [115]

I want to try making is Sernik królewski

That's my favourite!
I would advice making the dough few days earlier so it has time to freeze. The dough has to be grated ( at least the top. Bottom can be laid down) and I find it easier to not do everything in one day 😀

The NBA traitors shouldn't be allowed to return back and play in USA once they renounce our country

They are not traitors and they don't renounce anything.

I will not be watching the Olympics without Russia

What a shame. You will be missed....

The NBA should tell these foreign players that switch back to their home countries just for the olympics

Switch over? NBA is not a national team, there is no switching.

confusion between "immigrants" and "migrants".

I think you might be confused. Migrants is a term for all people moving. Imigrants those who move into a said country, emigrants those who move out.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

We are still able to affect the real world, and materialize our dreams.

You mean start a war? Wow, that is an accomplishment! Congrats!
Power is important but power used in the wrong way makes you a bully.
I think there are few things that even a Russian has to accept as downsides of the situation :
- Ukrainians will hate you for years to come, pi*sing on your ideas of being the same nation or brothers.
- the rest of the world seems less scared of Russia then ever.

Poles that Vilnius is a Lithuanian city.

It is now. Unlike Russians we can acknowledge that while it was Polish and will always be heavily intertwined with Poland, it is not ours anymore.
Maybe you should learn that.

If we want them to gain momentum in Poland as well, all we have to do is introduce similar laws.

I think we have enough of those already.
And if you think females seeing cases of rape not being prosecuted because the victim wasn't fighting ( when it seems everyone knows by know it's quite common reaction) doesn't add up to the men- female relationship problem? Females being scared of staying 1-1 with a man in case it may be interpreted as consent for sex despite repeated 'no'?

The law should be fair and the likelihood of abusing it decreased to minimum

No law in Poland takes account of the accused being accused falsely outside of the general penal system. You want to make an exception for rape. That has nothing to do with fairness.
How would you differentiate between false accusations and not having enough proof to prove the rape?
BTW, I do support punishment for false accusations (all of them). The thing is if you repoert what is a crime in your eyes but the police doesn't find enough proof that doesn't qualify straight away as false accusation)
And before you go on how often people have intercourse vs how often they are beaten up let me point out logical fallacy here:
Not every intercourse is criminal. Every theft etc. Is.
If you want to compare apples to apples compare how often people are raped vs how often they are beaten etc.
new legislation is that it takes the word of the accuser over the word of the accused without much evidence.

No it doesn't. It only changes the definition of rape. The prosecution still has to make a case

It seems to be a problem for you - why?

That not, but the problem is between false accusations and the fact there was simply not enough evidence to prove rape.

And judging by the real life situations it's more common for the rape victims to be accused of laying then of guys being falsely accused of rape.

So, is not obtaining agreement

A rape? Yes.

there's serious concern for the new law being regularly abused.

And there is no concern that the law in previous form allows rapists to go free?

The same goes for people falsely reporting theft, bodily harm, murder etc.
Why should rape be different?

This new law doesn't change a thing to how reporting rape looks like. There will still have to be investigation that finds proof beyond her words. So why the panic?

sentences of 3 months where the man faces 2-15 years. :(

The significance of the crime is of completely different magnitude.
I would definitely support the new law if

And I wouldn't if we didn't have cases making such change a necessity

Does a woman falsely accusing a man of rape

Can get 8 years.

And it's not like this law removes the necessity for proof. It only changes that a women doesn't have to roof she physically defended herself.

should include countermeasures for false accusations

It does as all the false accusations do.
Plus reporting it is non revokable. So once a women reports it - that's it. If she lied she can be prosecuted.

A woman who reports rape 30 years later

Wouldn't be able to do that idiot (besides if she was underaged)

that will somehow make it better

Considering we know about cases when the lack of physical resistance was used to stop the prosecution I would say that yes, this law has a good chance of making things at least a little bit better.

men will be prosecuted by bad, sinister women

False claims of rape happen already. Why this should make any difference?

Protecting stupid women who act recklessly and put themselves in danger is hard work.

And how do they do that? I don't see any protection at all.

Freedom and equality come with responsibility and accountability.

Great, and in the spirit of responsibility and accountability we want rapist do their time. Including those that thin that just 'no' is not enough. Or that unconscious women is a good sex doll.
Such a law already exists

And it needed a bit of tweaking to reflect what is rape.

if you think about women's well-being to teach women to act accordingly rather that shift all the work on men?

Not raping women is work?
men who would keep you safe because believe it or not most men are instinctively protective towards women?

Protect us by telling us we can't do things because man may to have to actually not being criminals?

Let's put it this way - while it's wise to keep your possessions secure even if they are not people taking them commit crime.

Do you want to regulate behavior so women could act irresponsibly and get drunk and unconscious in the middle of the street?

I want to regulate law so that crime is crime and the criminal faced the consequences.

Sounds like she has some daddy issues to me.

Sounds like you are a waste of space. Not only and as* but a stupid ass at that.

Someone talking about rape in a thread about rape- who would have thought.

Educate women about responsibility and accountability.

It seems it's men who should learn that lesson first. If they are unable to do that the law may have to make them. Unless of course having sex with an unwilling person is badge of honour in your eyes.
