‘Gender-Equal Snow Ploughing’ Plunges Stockholm into Chaos
Breitbart ^ | November 14, 2016 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 11/14/2016 10:01:36 AM PST by C19fan

Politicians in Stockholm said the policy of “gender-equal” snow removal has failed after the weather brought Sweden’s capital to a standstill last week, with hospitals reporting a fourfold increase in broken bones.

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: feminism; gender; genderequal; snow; snowremoval; stockholm; sweden; transportation
At least give the idiots running Stockholm some credit. They rescinded their cockamamie idea once the inevitable failure occurred. That is more than can be said of Commies. In a way, alterations to Obama's original stimulus plan to make it more "gender equal" backfired as the blue collar male workers who did not get jobs voted for Trump.

I had to read the article twice two figure out what “feminist snow removal” actually meant.

Its certainly NOT feminist in that they completely COCKED IT UP.

I’m pretty sure global warming has something to do with this, somehow. It always does.

Well, it’s OK as long as the broken bones were gender neutral. Unfortunately I couldn’t access the source to check that out.

Seems to have worked from where I’m sitting. They’re all certifiable.

I’m not sure what I just read.

I think they decided to rearrange the order of snow removal to pacify feminists?

They actually gave the public roads the lowest priority for snow removal because they thought that women walked and rode bikes and men drove cars?

They were surprised that not clearing the public roads was a disaster?

The Swedes are even more insane than I thought.

Apparently they did so, though I'm also thinking that another kind of so-called progressivism is also involved. I'm not surprised that this idea rewards "virtuous" modes of transportation over those EVIL CARS (and ambulances).

Only in socialistic countries can you screw up snow removal...

Does no one shovel the sidewalk outside their business/home over there? It’s required here, the only sidewalks cleared by the city are those next to city buildings/property.

City and county take care of roads, owners and renters take care of their sidewalks.

They may be born Swedish but half of them are probably Muslim by injection. Socialist, dhimmi fools.

Something like that, although all I got was that a lot of women were injured while walking on slippery surfaces.

I don't understand how they figured that men mostly drove, and women mostly walked. Maybe it just meant that men were better at walking than women. ;-)

I had to read the article to figure out what they were talking about. At first I thought that gender equal snow removal meant they had to remove equal numbers of male snowflakes and female snowflakes, and wondered how they could tell them apart.

“despite the promise that feminist snow-clearing would make life better for women, its implementation made the weather “bad for everyone”.”
