You are SOOOO wrong...the 'division' of labor has NOT been as you state throughout pre-history!!!
American Indian Tribes- imparticular- and still to this day...encourage the natural talent of each individual and they are NOT THE ONLY CULTURE TO DO THIS!!!!!

Many men are chefs..my spouse cooks in the home...BECAUSE HE IS A BETTER COOK!!!!
I choose to work also, ...it relieves his stress and financial burden and hopefully allows him a longer life with me because of the reduced stress!!!

Our children and grandchildren see him as a strong, caring man.
(we have been together for over 35 years and i would never trade him for one who thought i should be barefoot and pregnant all the time, besides i was a ***** when i was pregnant-who would want to live with that hormonal angst for years?)

You are WRONG i have had a full share PARTNERSHIP, it is lovely, fulfilling for both.

Kondzior...shame on you, hope you do not have daughters..... Harry your funny!!!
Where does all this come from, after all the pain Poland has sufferred? after all the men and Women whose lives have been lost?!!!
Papa must be rolling in his grave with angst!!!!
What have you learned from history? Nothing?!!! that you are still so full of needs to bully someone?
Maybe if many men in Poland think like Knodzior...this could be why the birth rate goes down!!! who would want to share a life with some one who plans to enslave them??

My Grandfather would smack you, he was so proud that his grandchildren went to college.. All the girls, he had a Polish phase for us..it meant beautiful and smart and he made us so proud of ourselves, and we are! for our pride in him and Busha is so great we would not disappiont them, even in their graves!!!!

Yes an educated woman has fewer children, simply because she IS EDUCATED....once you learn that you make your own poverty with 12 children, you learn to stop.

PS Ethnically i am Polish, but we had our DNA run...my brother and i... and guess what? It is true that we are 'mutts' a huge mix from Mongolia to the Mediterranian, all those wars from the 1200's forward have left few people in Europe a 'pure' ethnic group....
