"In communist Czechoslovakia, there were two distinct approaches to sexuality and
gender. The first one went like this: sex should occur between equals, and men and
women should be equal and free of the bourgeois shackles of property. Indeed, before
entering into marriage, people were expected to get to know each other, whether in
the workplace or at collective volunteer work units. The other approach to sexuality
claimed the following: Men and women are fundamentally different and marriage only
works if men are superior to women. That is, if gender arrangements are not ordered
this way, women will suffer in a way similar to sexual dissatisfaction. In this approach,
it is one's nuclear family and spouse that are the only safe social bonds. These types
of statements capture the attitudes towards sex, gender, and family as they changed
throughout the years in Czechoslovakia. The first approach to sexuality and gender
is characteristic of the long 1950s, i.e. the period since the communists took power
in 1948 until the early 1960s when discourses began to shift. The second approach,
from the 1970s, sums up the attitude of the period called 'Normalization' which followed
the failed attempts of the Prague Spring of 1968. This book tracks what it took to
get from one approach to the other"
