Swedish Gender Equalities Minister is so Bananaphobic Her Staff Email Ahead to Keep Fruit at Bay
Breitbart ^ | 2024 11 30 | Oliver JJ Lane

New revelations about the lengths to which 41-year-old Liberal Party politician Paulina Brandberg, Sweden’s Minister for Gender Equality, has her aides go to protect her from bananas have emerged in Sweden.

Brandberg admitted to the fear in 2020, but the revelation that she has her staff clear rooms and “secure” them before she enters them hit headlines earlier this month. Now, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet says it has seen no less than 44 emails from Brandberg’s office, where her staff have written ahead of very high-profile meetings to prevent fruit-based gaffes.

Brandberg’s staff emailed EU summits, the Norwegian government, and the speaker of Sweden’s Parliament. Even the top of Swedish society is not immune, with an email making sure Brandberg wouldn’t be confronted with her fear for no less an occasion than dinner with the King.

This has got to be a joke.

Homophobes usually eat bananas like corn on the cob.

Do you also fear carrots, cucumbers or even my cigar?

This sounds like a narcissistic ploy to get attention. I’ve known women who would feign some kind of sensitivity to something, just to put people out and garner attention for themselves.

Good one. LOL

Actually I detest bananas and have all my life. Carrots and cigars, not so much.

The West has been dominated by freaks. I am certain that bananas trigger penis-hate in this loony woman.

How is that so many people in leadership roles - political, academia, media, etc. - are so often, frankly, unstable and mentally deranged ... and seem to be proud of it?

It makes me despair when I see how far American society and American people have degraded in morality, decency, common sense, wisdom. It's like everyone is being run ragged and made crazy by their emotions and feelings ... to the detriment of the rest of us.
