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

Posted on 11/30/2024 11:40:40 AM PST by Silentgypsy

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.

I think it all started with participation trophies and deteriorated thereafter.

That comes from the Internet thing going around some years ago - it claimed that cats were terrified of cucumbers, so someone would sneak up and put a cucumber behind a cat, and watch the cat startle.

It had nothing to do with cucumbers, and would work with any object you placed behind a cat who wasn’t looking. Cats are aware of their surroundings and of every change.

Yes, which happened after women got involved in things. Sorry, but it's true. A normal man wouldn't even consider participation trophies ... if you lost you lost. Suck it up and practice harder.

There’s a psychological problem that has the sufferers see “penis” in everything from pens, to book bindings, to simple fruit.
The minister apparently is such a sufferer.
Obviously a stable individual.
Next to the other horses.

Actually, when I went camping with the Girl Scouts, we made banana boats: Pull back the peel on one section of banana, cut a trough into the fruit, stuff it with minimarshmallows and chocolate chips, replace the top of the fruit, secure peel with toothpicks, roast over campfire: YUM.

Another product of the over womanification of boys. Single moms, overwhelmingly female teachers K through 12, emphasis on feelings over effort. We are reaping the harvest of all of that now.

I think that industrial/pharmacologic contaminants are also a factor. Remember reading about hermaphroditic fish after they found oral contraceptives and other waste in streams and groundwater? It’s probably multifactorial.
