Czech MP faces criticism after remark regarding menopause

Czech Member of Parliament Miroslav Ševčík has drawn public scrutiny following an incident in the Chamber of Deputies. When MP Michaela Šebelová requested a break during proceedings, Ševčík reportedly shouted “menopause” in response.

The incident has sparked a debate regarding the treatment of women's bodies and physiological topics within political discourse. Observers noted that such remarks often serve to gain attention in the attention economy, where insults can sometimes generate more publicity than substantive political arguments. The event follows similar discussions in other European parliaments regarding inappropriate comments directed at female politicians.
