Whenever needs arise to enforce more men to take paternity leave , inevitably gender feminists turn to “gender-equality utopia” Scandinavia for ideas, and thus ponder if introduction of a Scandinavian “daddy month” would be a good way to shape men into a women’s mold. Maybe. But don’t be content yet, because Scandinavians seem to have their own problems.
Feminists there are not happy (where in the world can you find “happy” feminists?) because Scandinavian men, even when they do take equal amount of paternity leave as women, spend less time with newborn babies, less holding and smiling and talking to babies….., which caused one distraught feminist to dub the paternity scheme in the country (Sweden in this case) as “near total failure.” So, what’s next? Record all the time the father and mother spend with the newborn, how many times each changed diaper, how many minutes they smiled at, and compile a national record?
