Did Poland reach its nadir under Communist domination, or when it appointed a "Minister for Gender Equality"? O, ne Zot, the Polish jokes I could make from this ...

(I had to look up nadir!)

I have no clue, but I have to tell you that every true Polish family I know is ruled, as my old Pollack Mamma once said, with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Women rule the family. Most Polish men adore their children and the idea of Family more than the idea of being king of it.

Bobcia will smack a daughter who does not treat her husband right and beat a man who will not treat her daughter well. My mother got clunked in the head with a wooden spoon for telling my dad to change a diaper.
"You ask, you don't tell," said Bobcia, "Men will NEVER do as they are told. Women will always get when they ask. If not, point him to me."

I find that it continues to my own home. I will not tell my girls nor my husband to do something. I always ask. I have yet to be disappointed. And my poor hubby with a dominating mother, is putty because I don't tell him what to do.

Isn't Poland part of the EU? If so, this may be where this government position originated from. That, and they'll try and do to the Church what the commies couldn't.

Minister for Gender Equality....hahahaha!
