Stockholms gender-equal snow-clearing policy is not to blame for the traffic chaos which has engulfed the Swedish capital, the architect of the policy has claimed.
Gender-equal snow cleaning is not to blame here, Daniel Helldén, the citys Green Party transport head told the Expressen newspaper, stressing that the policy, which prioritizes cleaning pavements and cycle lanes over roads, did not even appear to have even been followed. [ ]
Stockholms municipal government, a coalition of the Social Democrats and the Green Party, brought in gender equal snow cleaning last year, pledging to make moving around the city on icy winter days just as safe for women as it is for men. Men are statistically more likely to be drivers, while women are more likely to use pavements, cycle paths, and public transport.

OK let me get this straight.
Female = sidewalks and bike lanes.
Male = driving lanes.
How does prioritizing one over the other create any equality whatsoever?
WTF???
Perhaps it would be more equitable to apply the underlying logic of “choice” to all ages. If SHE can terminate a pregnancy via abortion, why can’t HE terminate a “relationship” via homicide?

That was my thought, too.
If they really wanted equality, they would change priorities every other day...
That should force women to shovel, too
You mean only people educated beyond their intelligence.
They can thank gloBull warming.
Moslems in Sweden say, “We worship Mohammed, not Snowhammed, infidel”.
So much for gender equality in Sweden. Let the women clean the sidewalks as well as men.
So many snowflakes. Beware of Green Snow.
Pavement is one thing they call the sidewalk; the other is footpath or path.

Even HERE, in the good old USofA
WE
DRIVE ON THE PARKWAY
AND
PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY
So many snowflakes. Beware of Green Snow.

AND, Never, Never, Never
Eat the YELLOW Snow
Only in Europe can you socialize snow removing....and screw it up...
And the answer, invariably, has been "Equal irresponsibility! Yay!"
Your suggestion, of course, furthers that already-nigh-irresistible trend.
A society that does this, collapses.
But you can already see that on the horizon. The first 5 minutes of the sound track will feature people murmuring "Inshallah".
Can’t wait to visit Jersey again and take the Garden State Driveway down the shore.
Watch out where the huskies go.
Me too but that is a bridge too far for the gender equality brigade.
And oh yeah, if I have to use either of the NYC area airports, I gotta take the Belt Driveway to JFK or the Grand Central Driveway to LaGuardia.
