Feminists step up struggle in egalitarian Sweden

"You have the same pattern all over the world.... gender gap, salary gap, violence against women, pornography, prostitution and trafficking which are the results of the understanding that women are less important than men, have less value and can be looked upon as an object ready to use," she told journalists recently.

She repeats the same old, same old, once again. Gender/salary gap is a total myth--I've never seen a pay scale anywhere that has separate columns for men and women. The other issues are law enforcement issues, which are only exacerbated by the left's desire to appease and coddle criminals, instead of punish them and put them away where they can't hurt anyone (except each other) any more.

Most feminist complaints, I believe, stem from the fact that these feminists are generally unhappy, and feel that if they could only change something about the world (not that they can define that something), the world would give them happiness. Of course, that's never going to happen. Happiness has to come from within.

It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature...

wages should be dependent upon qualifications regardless...it does not say one thing about motherhood and respect for moms

Well, legal and societal respect for motherhood entails paying married fathers more for the same work than unmarried men and women.

Is that what you meant?

these feminists are generally unhappy

Somebody better whisper in their ears that Muslim men are getting ready to make their current status look like paradise on earth.

Not content with just forming a 1970s-style pressure group, "Feminist Initiative" wants to garner more than the four percent of the popular vote

Find some attractive women ......... say, is Tiger Woods' wife's beautiful twin available?

NOT A BIT. No, actually, what I meant is that one of the greatest things that one can have in life is the opportunity to be a mother or father. To me, showing respect for good moms is one of most fundamental things one can do towards women. That seems to get lost among "femenists'" demands--that of being feminine. It has notheing whatsoever to do with jobs. It seems we just forget today to respect motherhood, which I think should be the first thing we should do.

I wonder what the birth rate in Sweden is nowadays

Pretty low. The fertility rate is currently 1.66 children per woman. At that rate, the population should be declining rapidly. The population is increasing, however, due to immigration.

Guess who most of the immigrants are? (hint: they're not Lutherans!)

they'll be the first executed when the muslims take over!

The Muslims will be an improvement.
