Feminism
2
What do you think? Is it acceptable for a man in the same professional position as a woman to earn 15-20% more than her? Do you share the view that woman don´t belong in the Parlament or in the management of big companies? Do you believe that a young woman´s natural career is that of mother and housewife?

If you answer NO to all three questions, you are feminist

Why czech people don´t like word „feminism“ ! Cause it´s automatically associated with…. Ugly, militant, man-hating creature with an unshaved legs and nasty personality. Hag who will never ever get a husband, which she doesn´t want anyway, because in this country it´s commonly known that all feminists are in reality lesbians.
5
Era of communism Method of „liberating women“ (it was based on forcing them to work) Czechoslovakia did women represent a larger part of working force BUT ….. In fact they were systematically discriminated (in terms of wages, career opportunities..)
6
Czech women today Compared to some Western countries, there are still few women in top politics (in 2002 among the 200 members of the Parlament´s House of Deputies there were 34 women)

..and those who have fought their way up must often endure extreme chauvinism …

Look to the history The first czech state was established by a woman, Libuše Princess Libuše found her husband Přemysl, who was a farmer In fact - Libuše as princess, was the boss and Přemysl was only used as convient cover and sperm donor … = an undercover matriarchy

„ In my family, I decide all the important things, such as our relationship with Taiwan. My wife is only responsible for the rest.“ (Jan Werich) the Czech tradition of women letting their husbands officially act as tough men while, in reality, they are totally controlled by their bossy wives, is still alive

Božena Němcová – another female monument in czech history Her novel Babička tells about grey-haired hero as anti-masculine as it is possible to get And T.G.Masaryk has beem called the first czech feminist for his sentence :“Women are often more valuable humans than men.“ He even took his american wife´s maiden name Garrigue as his second surname
11
Future Early marriage and subsequent motherhood still seem to be a more obvious and unambigous goal for young czech women than in Western and Southern Europe most czech women expect to be treated as women (suppose to open the door for a woman, let her enter before him, help her with her coat..) Young czech woman are trying harder and harder to combine the cool self confidence of Western feminist with the proud womanliness of a South European sex bomb
