Musings from Sweden Part 1

Here are compilations of interesting stories from the feminists` wonderland a.k.a Sweden…

After the shocking defeat in general election, some party members of the outgoing Social Democrat which ruled the nation for years have manufactured and echoed convenient "consensus" that next leader of the party should be a woman because, “man will not be able” to beat the new ruling party, which is run by, alas, a man. May I ask why it has to be a woman, since there seems to be nothing in the article which backs such a claim (other than militant feminists` chest-thumping that you can read from between the lines)?

Feminists, not only in Sweden, but across the world are busy creating this kind of convenient “consensus” among general public that political leaders “should be” women, not so subtle shift from their original egalitarian position of “equal” rights for women to be elected political leaders. In recent race to succeed Kofi Annan as the next Secretary-General of the United Nations, feminists from across the world have asserted that next SG should be a woman, saying that “gender barrier” has to be taken down. But if you ague that only woman can become next SG, then who is it that is setting up gender barrier? While most non-feminists would like to judge candidates on their own merit, feminists would want to see gender as the first sifter to ensure that a man would not get the job.

Though barrage of op-ed pieces and sympathetic liberal western media who accepted them to print, feminists try to hypnotize public into thinking that choosing a man for a top job is somehow immoral and also an obstacle to furthering women`s rights. They partially succeeded in manufacturing “consensus” that next SG should be a woman, at least a consensus among liberal elite.


I`m not sure if the ex-minister for equality and deputy prime minister (no less) was regretting the fact Sweden has become too gender-equal as, according to her, it actually prompted men to be more violent against women. If that`s true, that would be quite a hard choice for feminists to turn back the clock and reinstate patriarchy to reduce violence against women or enjoy current care-free feminists utopia and see high rate of violence? But one need not ponder this question seriously as long as the statement is coming out from the mouth of gender feminists who based her argument on study done by - as it turned out, a fellow feminist. Swedish feminists seem to be not much behind their American cohorts in manufacturing and hyper-boling hysteria about statistics concerning women - she inflated percentage of women who experience violence from three percent to forty percent! That`s 13 times more than original figure!

The fact is that for these feminists and their pet industry to survive, there needs to be a growing or at least a continuing “crisis” for women, otherwise their raison d`etre will disappear and the huge government subsidies and other goodies they receive will dwindle.
Once I heard a feminist say that her dream is to see a true gender-equal society so that committed feminists like her will not have to fight for equality any more and retire. Looks like they`ve gotten accustomed to and even addicted to the perks and power that were conferred upon them as a representative of women are not willing to relinquish them.
