I think this is why Rene is coming from. Western women and Slavic women are so different when it comes to emancipation and women's rights. How many times have we heard men complain that one of the reasons they are here is because women in the West now have to a great extent been changed for better or for worse by feminism. It is hard for a man in the West now to be a traditional gentleman.
To even open a door for some women in the West is considered a sexist thing to do. A woman will often reply, "What do I look like a cripple? I have two arms, I can do it myself!"
I reply to this. "Yes, but I also open the door for little children, old people, fit muscle me and cripples. Not just women." I believe in equality. But feminism in the West has gone too far. Men now have few rights when it comes to anything a woman wants to accuse them of. Women are always believed before a man. A woman can cry rape or abuse and the man is left guilty forever in people's eyes even if the man is found innocent.
Slavic women are to a greater extent more traditional and this allows us to be gentlemen again. And I believe we like to be gentlemen. We miss being noble. We like to be there for a woman. We like to think we are needed even if we are not. It is that glorious dance of man and woman that I think we all miss in the West.
