Hey everyone, I’m really curious to hear from women who have lived in or experienced different parts of Europe. If you had to answer honestly , which country in the EU / Western Europe feels the most patriarchal in everyday life compared to Switzerland? By “patriarchal,” I don’t just mean laws (since most countries are legally equal), but more things like: expectations around gender roles who carries the mental load at home attitudes toward women in leadership how women are treated socially or at work pressure around family, motherhood, or appearance For example, some people say countries like Italy or Greece feel more traditional in daily life, while Nordic countries feel more equal , but I’d really like to hear first-hand experiences, not just stereotypes. If you’re comfortable sharing: Which country are you talking about? Were you local, tourist or an expat? What specific experiences made you feel that way? And how is it different to Switzerland? Thanks 🙏 submitted by /u/Proof-Yam-5877
