  • o českých ženách = o Češkách
  • o českých mužích = o Češích (that's also simply "about Czechs")

singular:

  • o české ženě = o Češce
  • o českém muži = o Čechovi

Cause it's plural :o

So češi would be "czech men" then ?

Yes, but in this case (locative) it is o Češích.

Is the "ty" really necessary?

The meaning is a little shifted here. "Co víš o...?" is a regular question "What do you know about...?"

With the added "ty" it's usually (also depends on intonation) a rhetorical question, roughly meaning "You actually know nothing/little about..."

It's not. But it can be used for emphasis.
