Easter
Tomowolf:
Damn, it started with Easter, ends with some sexist quotes.
Dat 2238 community ;D,
Eternauta:
To make it clear, it's pretty much like Surf said, I think traditions like this keep male domination present symbolically, and by the way the fact that most women enjoy or even accept it doesn't mean anything (many women from muslim countries accept the treatment they get).
I have nothing against the Czech people or Czech traditions in particular, just against any tradition that keeps these kind of power relationships even on a symbolical level. These kind of stuff exists all around the world and not only in that country.
I never thought the Czech people was cruel, I was only speaking about this tradition, which is what the topic is about anyway. It was the Czech users who replied, who thought I said they were cruel.
Replying to Sarakin, Lordus did not "enlighten" anything: he just typed some explanation about his country's history, and then trolled me about my country's history. If he had not added that last part, the discussion would have taken a different road. I find it funny that I cannot dare to think anything bad about your tradition but you can make jokes about my country or even call me liberal pussy, etc. And it's even funnier that people say "it's the internet!" as this meant it's ok to joke about genocides, racism, sexism, etc.
I am sorry, I will try not to speak even relatively bad of any little bit of other culture, it seems we all get mad when someone does it, it seems everyone is allowed to jump like boiling milk when they think their culture is being attacked, but I am the only one that can't express such things.
Well, I'm not sure how surprised I really am, it's how this "international" community works.
Bantz:
The thing is that essentialy, most of the people have no idea how those traditions are percieved in the country and by the girls themselves. And trust me that, we are not gonna give up that tradition, one of the few remainings in our country, because of some oversensitive outsiders that has seen some video of drunk jacasses hitting the girls with wooden sticks.
The real hypocrite for me is the guy that thinks that women are some weak minded souls that are kept in vassalege by this tradition. Give them some credits, will ya? And hold the doors for them, help them into their coats and pay for lunch on a date and give them some flowers from time to time. Dont worry, they wont spit in your face for thinking less of them.
For all the moral guardians, here is another crime for you to fix.
This year I have been to northern Spain and I have seen completly diffrent traditions, more christian oriented. One of them was a parade with guys carrying statues from church through the streets. There were also little children, all dressed up in the robes. It was cold, like 10 degrees and the kids were barefoot, walking for more then an hour through the streets.
Maybe you guys should check for child abuse.

You either didnt get the joke, which could be my fault (but probably isnt) or you are the oversensitive pussy I was talking about.

I didn't get there was any joke but that could be cultural differences.
I live in a culture war zone - Welcome to Britain.
Don't believe me? search these 3 words together. Diversity Britain Culture (in any order)
Lordus:
Good old Lordus is again responspible for the international conflict. At least you have someone you can blame :)
Eternauta, i dont have anything against Argentina and their people (except FW). On football world championship, you are always my favourite team and it was sad to see last championship where affected orc Maradona ruined your teamplay, because of his absence of couching talent and fear from extinction of his personal star in comparsion with miracle hobbit Messi. Also i like your beef.
And our traditions.. maybe we are little edgy, because we lost our long time tradition (because of EU regulations) of distillation of rum from potatoes. (We had to change its name, although we still use this name in our pubs).
