‘Gender-equal’ snow removal procedures left Stockholm paralyzed(?)

A “feminist” snow removal plan that dictated sidewalks be cleared before streets plunged Sweden’s capital in chaos after a record snowfall.

The biggest snowfall in 111 years proved the first real test for the “feminist” or “gender-equal” snow removal policy brought in by a new municipal council controlled by a Left-Green coalition.

The city government is intent on putting as much civic energy into clearing bike paths and sidewalks used by environmentally- and fitness-minded women as into the roads frequented by male-dominated motor vehicle traffic.

But chaos reportedly was the result for both genders, according to the tabloid Aftonbladet’s headline, “Feministisk snöröjning funkar inte i Stockholm,” (“Feminist Snow Removal Flunks in Stockholm.”)

LOL! Seriously? Ragnar would no be pleased. Another progressive plan gone bananas. Truth is stranger than fiction. Couldn't they get some of the helpful/peaceful immigrants out there to help clear the streets?

Sounds like that particular scheme hit the wall, as it was about to do for the US military.

We live in a world of paradoxes. Too much of something can be worse than too little.

Up here in MN, even our die-hard bicyclists know that during the winter, it’s just smart to put-up the bike for the season...

Surely it’s not the same to be a tomboy as to want all the other girls to be tomboys too.

I was surprised by some of the other girls’ behavior when I started first grade. (No kindergarten in our little town.)

I was used to my girl cousins who were lots of fun and smart, logical, and not excessively emotional.

I remember sitting in my desk in the first grade classroom and thinking, “Wow. Women don’t like each other.”

Lol!

The normal women will beg their menfolk to go out and dig the snow.

If most drivers in Sweden are men, then I might just have to move there. :-P

My teacher let me peer out of a little hole in the side of my desk which faced the chalkboard.

Some of the girls tried to poke my eye with pencils but I was very quick.

The Swedes are succeeding in having their collective heads jammed up their collective keisters.
