Who pays? Do you tax married men--in which case you tax their families including their wives. And who gets the proceeds? No doubt some foolish PC educrats.

And how do you assess the tax? Income? Wealth? Sports events tickets? Beer?

This is funny stuff. I can't believe anyone would propose this and let his name be known.

I thought Europe was so much better than us because they had solved problems like this. Guess not.

Well, when all the men get fed up and leave, all the women can live ahppily ever after in a Male-Free Society... at least until they raise taxes on sex toys...

Pinga.

We think they should tax men with hankies on their heads. No, wait, that's not it.

I'm trying to think of an appropriate Ole and Lena joke. There must be one . . . (Think, think, think). . .

News Flash - Stockholm Sweden, 26 May 2006

Sweden today became the first all female country when Nors Haldersohm immigrated to Spain. Mr. Haldersom was the last male left in Sweden. Male immigration from Sweden skyrocketed after the Swedish Parliament passed the Man Tax in 2004.

Mr. Haldersohm stated, "I didn't mind the tax so much as the public humiliation and beatings I forced to endure every Saturday."

Parliament passed the Man Tax act in 2004 in spite of the fact that the last known beating of a women by a man in Sweden occurred in 1921.

Left Party deputy Gudrun Schyman is now preparing what is known as the Male Castration act that will force all male children born in Sweden to be castrated at birth. Although it is speculative as to how many children will be born in Sweden in the future, Ms. Schyman stated, "We considered forcing the abortion of male foetuses, however, that was seen as too radical. We must never let the situation arise again where women are discriminated against."

Coincidently, female immigration has recently increased in Sweden with 20% of the female population leaving in the past nine months. A recent survey has shown that another 72% of the female population is considering immigration.

Their view seems to be summed up by Lindle Hotfrock who stated, "Although women are no longer beaten we don't get anything else either."

Any excuse to raise taxes. This one is masked in "UN-speak" of "caring". piffle.

The arrogance of socialism marches on. If Jerry Falwell proposed a gay tax to pay for AIDS, he'd be trashed by every editorial board in the country. But this socialist BS will either be ignored or chuckled at.

"It is also one of the world's most advanced nations in terms of gender equality..."

Guess she wants to take a step back from that "progress" in equality by imposing gender specific rules. Sounds like some of the animals are more equal than others.

[Sam Cree]

I guess in Sweden, discrimination by reason of sex is no problem.

Why am I NOT surprised Europeans would propose a punitive 'Penis Tax'?

They're already a continent of eunuchs.

Tax on Men for Violence on Women Proposed

Well, since female on male violence is pretty much equivalent to the reverse in both types and severity, a general tax would be much fairer.

[John O]

So since the Swedish men are going to be fined for beating women whether they do or not don't you think that more men will beat women? After all they are paying for the priviledge they may as well get their money's worth.

I think if Sweden passes this they will be amazed at the increase in violence
