Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

Big deal. It's just like a commercial of a man sliding fingers over woman's naked body and then farting... (consider it normal). About time we fart in his face when it deems right. :)

No problem, down with urinals! Since the male bodies are so optimal and efficient, you guys just sit down to do your peeing business just like you have to do for the other. Problem solved. The bathroom would be so much cleaner without the splatter anyway!


Time and place please, I want to see it!


Nothing new. Isn't it happening every single summer when the temperature exceeds 75F? There are half naked women everywhere for a couple of months! :) Young and old, thin and fat, black or white. Guess what, I'm actually happy they can... I can. Makes me think of the women wrapped in fabric head to toe.

The male/female relationships can get pretty complicated nowadays. Many people do not want a live-in partner for a while, especially after divorce or a bad break up. The peace and quiet in the house, the clean bathroom, no need for big grocery shopping..live seems to be easier. But, if you are a healthy man or woman, sooner or later you forget about the single life bliss and tend to look for a relationship. Hoping that you get it right the next time around...which seldom happens.

Yeah, that's what I experienced back in Poland. Frankly, I did not know I was a woman (besides the obvious)until I came to this country.Women are treated differently and openly told they are not. The expression of 'glass ceiling' comes to mind.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]


Well, what does it mean? I know that some Polish men can be very disrespectful, but many are not. I observe a very wonderful division of roles in a Polish married couples. He does the manly things around the house, she does the wifely duties. Both very happy. I really don't see my friend chopping wood for a fireplace and I don't see him planting tomatoes in the garden. However, he can cook and feed the children when she is at work. It's all about partnership and respect.

Don't get yourself too upset over him or any others posting crap. It's not worth it. Really. It's his, their problem, to feel miserable and not in charge. Perhaps, they have crappy jobs and make less than you and me anyway. Hence, the anger. Nobody feels good when knocked down of a pedestal they built for themselves for centuries.

I think you're pretty damaged when it comes to male/female relationships in general... I've met some of your type. The all knowing macho who has no clue about faucet repair but thinks he is God's gift to women. You ain't. I call the plumber, pay him and never hear any crap.

To comment on other posts: No, I don't want to be a welder or a car mechanic or any other job demanding physicalal strength. Biologically, I was not made for it. From the beginning of times - you chase the rabbit for dinner, I cook it. You're right, I don't want to get my hands dirty.

But, in today's modern world, I want the same salary as the guy who sits at the desk behind me and does the same job as me. That's all I want. Yes, you're most of the time bigger, stronger and do the jobs I don't want to do. By all means, get the salary you deserve and I will wait for you at home cooking dinner dressed as a French maid. Fair enough?

and on PF! lol. :) Yikes! Therefore, that's it for me. Off to bed!

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

I still do. I don't have too high expectations...Just be showered, have clean clothes on, be able to fix a faucet drip, know some current events...don't rely on GPS for directions...just because you make 75k + you don't have to be oblivious to the normal stuff around you.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

True. Close to never. I dress up, I put some make up on...big smile..., and I meet a bunch of losers who think they are kings. Sometimes I wish I had the male ego.

I know you have nothing to do with it. My jeans and T-Shirts (and suits I used to wear to work), are made in China too! Don't get me wrong, I wear high hills when going out, sometimes; it's a love/hate relationship with them. Looks good but a pain in the ankles. :) Arrghh, the sacrifice. It ain't worth most of the time.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]


Yeah. Clothes are not making a man(woman), men(women) are making clothes. :)
(AND KIDS IN CHINA!) :(

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

Yeah, give me sneakers and jeans any day. My comfort is more important than your desire.If you want ME, it doesn't matter what I wear. If it does, you're not my type anyway. :)

A man ( a husband) should be able to help his mate in the kitchen and anywhere she needs helps or want one. And, Havok, she should not need to ask you :).

But how can you teach the margin what the norm is? It starts in your home. I'm so glad I was not brought up in Socrates's home. I wonder if he's got a sister.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

He made a very embarrassing statement. I hope he will recover from it... I listened to a Polish radio station yesterday and kids were talking. Wow! Six year olds were already saying some 'macho' things. Polish fathers tend to disrespect their wives and women in general, apparently. (Where would the kid take the ideas from?) It was funny what the boys said, but it was alarming too. I can't even imagine, and I never heard American six year old saying this kind of stuff. Pretty sad.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]


Incapable of speech? I thought we're the ones who keep talking and you're just the supposedly strong, silent type mute :) As to lower life form..hmm, you would not be here posting if it was not for your mother. You really should have thought a little before you post. Live up to the nic you chose, 'Sokrates". The Greeks are embarrassed now.

Jeeze, Zimmy..problem with women? LOL. Every man wants his wife to be a slut in the bedroom and Madonna everywhere also. You know, it's it's hard to fill both shoes..either a slut everywhere or a nice, modest, shy girl that nobody notice. YOU - guys, just need to know how to fix faucets, paint, fix the car...etc., don't forget to bring a nice paycheck home too. Phew, feminism...thank God. About time we stop making 76 cents (I think that's the latest) on your dollar. We are better than you anyway. Viva feminists!

USA, Canada / What do Poles think about drinking raw milk? In America, unpasteurized milk is PROHIBITED. [49]

I also was brought up on fresh milk and its home made products: cheese, butter, sour milk etc. I was healthy then and I'm healthy now. The cows were fed on grass from spring to fall and hey during the winter, and they had yearly shots. I've never had allergies then or now. Unfortunately, I am stuck with store bought milk and the best I can do is buy pasteurized organic. I wish there was a farm i could buy it from but no such option. I can understand why the milk has to be pasteurized coming from remote locations and taking days to the grocery stores shelf. I would not have it any other way.

Love / Is it true that Polish women are very busty? [71]


You're silly...wildrover.
Is this picture for real or some Adobe stunt? I've never seen a woman with this kind of jugs.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]


Oh, that's rude...why would you assume that the person who asked does not mean it? Let's say I tripped and fell on the street and someone asked me 'Are you all right?' I'd be happy to respond either I'm OK or I think I twisted my ankle...instead of the instant negative approach...you don't know me, why do you care.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1303]

Did somebody say 'bób'? I am ready to go on a killing spree as long as I find a victim in front of a plate of bób. It's been decades since I had a some real, fresh, boiled bób. Some Mexican produce centers have something similar in season but that's not exactly it...

Bób is packed withnutritionn. Step aside red meat.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]


Wow! So... you want to stand in a long line to buy food and wait for doctor's appointment for six months? Is that your new American dream? You really don't get it. Sadly, if more people don't wake up, it may come to this. We'll have the members of Politburo (read government employees, CEOs, etc) owing expensive cars and dachas in the mountains and the rest of us will barely make a living. That's your future Mr. Des Essientes.

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]


You are. No need to deny. Your mom and papa thought you the first rules of life. Then, came the teachers in grammar school, high school, college..whatever.

Then it came the work enivironment..etc.


Exactly, you do. Take the best of what you learned and then the best of what you encountered in real life. Combine them, draw conclusions and be you.

You see, all people draw their own conclusions and that's why we're different.
When you are are part of society - granted - you'll be judged. You might be the fun person living next door or you could be the the boring person living next door. It is up to you how to present yourself.

Getting back on topic, do you want to present yourself as the Slavic romantic soul (Crow comes to mind) or you are the person who looks around and recognizes reality. I read a lot of BS theory here on PF. It is reality which counts in everyday life.

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]


It sound defiant. No matter what YOU think, it matters what others think about YOU. This is the world standard. YOU are the product of the society which brought you to this world, who educated you and who has the right to judge based on the standards. Am I clear? :)

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]


That's where you are wrong. EVERY ethnicity has a share of dumb. And, if you deny it - you are not living in reality.Not everybody everywhere is educated, not everybody everywhere has the same experiences you did.

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]

Good is questionable state of being. You might be good in your own eyes and your close relationships, but bad when viewed by other people. The standards and the perception of YOU varies.

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]

Slavs are just like all other people. Some are very smart, some are average and some are plain dumb.

Love / Polish girls and traditions (esp. between mother in laws and daughter in laws) [45]

Neharika, all the best to you and your daughter-in-law. If your son is just like you, she is one lucky girl to be married to him. Apparently, he saw the qualities he wanted in a future wife.

I would love to hear how the meeting went.

Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

Ah, that's it then. It's gotta be it. The childhood scars...There are pills for that, aren't there? :)
