For years the Progressive left has made the case that the United States should be more like Europe. From the way we consume oil, to our healthcare system, the Progressives are convinced that Europe does it better.
But I wonder what the American left would say about a recent article on the National Post, which reports that some on the European left are saying that a video, targeting children, consisting of dancing genitalia, isn’t quite Progressive enough:
“STOCKHOLM — In socially liberal Sweden, an educational video for children featuring dancing genitals has become an online hit — and even drawn criticism for not being progressive enough.
“The one-minute animated video by public broadcaster SVT, promoting a television series about the human body, has been seen by more than 4 million YouTube viewers.
“Producers say many parents found it a great way to explain about private parts to children, though some called it inappropriate for a program aimed at children aged 3-6.
“Programming director Peter Bargee said Thursday the clip also drew “unexpected” criticism from some Swedes, who said portraying the penis with a moustache and the vagina with long eyelashes reinforced gender stereotypes.“

freaks
Progressives.
dancing genitals reinforce gender stereotypes?!?....
gender genitals, do we see a root word resemblance in the two words?
Be you ever so PC, you can never be PC enough.
I walked past this car every day, hardly noticing. Then one day, I actually looked at it, and... what the hey?
Never seen anything like that, Maw!
The bumper sticker had some unintelligible, vaguely Germanic-looking words on it. I knew a bit of German, and figured it must be Swedish, maybe Dutch. Whatever.
Nutcases, I thought. The word "whackjob" hadn't been invented yet, I don't think.
Car was parked in a dorm parking lot. Dude probably thought it would be good if chicks thought he was Swedish, and therefore not as likely to be carrying Herpes.
So an ‘educational’ video targeting children which displays dancing genitalia isn’t Progressive enough since it doesn’t take the transgender community into account.
Wikipedia; Transgender:
Transgender is the state of one's gender identity or gender expression not matching one's assigned sex.
Transgender is independent of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etc; some may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them.
The definition of transgender includes:
"Of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these."
"People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves."
"Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the sex (and assumed gender) one was assigned at birth."
Don’t confuse them with facts.
It's a game of one-upmanpersonship,
The student radicals of yesterday are the tenured radicals of today.
It’s Leftism. It’s not supposed to make sense.
He can dance?
I tried to post the .gif, but couldn’t get it to work.
and no..,he can’t dance
Must be the white in him
No wonder the muzzies are taking over Sweden.
No mustache. That must be the dancing vagina.
Just think, soon the Swedes will replace dancing genitals with rolling heads.
LOL!
