10. In the Czech Republic, 1993,

feminists had a bad rap. No repubs around. But lots of Americans who insisted that it was wrong for women to take the traditional last names, etc., etc. Many focused on trivial superficialities, instead of equal opportunities in education and employment.

Newspapers were full of editorials and LTTE. Mostly against. But then, the Americans that thought of Prague as the French Bank of the 1990s royally pissed of the indigenous population.

Many Czech women rejected being preached to by patronizing westerners.

This did them a disservice.
