Gas station for women
Go Sweden! A land of “man-tax” (proposed but didn’t materialize). I think its auto-maker Volvo has once assembled women-only team to build a car for women, which has all the essential needs for women (beggier mirros, etc.). Here comes a gas station for women….

homework is discrimination
Another story...how about "grading" doesn't properly compensate for differences in pupil's backgrounds?
'Scrap homework' call from Left Party
The Left Party has proposed abolishing homework for children up to the age of 16, saying that it wants to compensate for differences in pupils' backgrounds.
Scrapping homework is one of the proposals put forward in the party's program for 'equality at school', which was presented on Wednesday.
The disappearance of homework would be compensated for with more concentrated teaching and more qualified teachers, said the Left Party's political secretary Anders Thor・to Svenska Dagbladet. The party did not intend to make the school day longer, he said.
Thor・pointed to a Teleborg school in V艀j・ which he said had positive experiences of abolishing homework.
The party argues that schools are not meeting their aim to give every pupil the same chances, and that they are not compensating for pupils' social differences.
The Liberal Party's education spokesman Jan Bjklund described the proposal as "beyond idiotic".
Unions were also critical. Eva-Lis Preisz, chairwoman of the Swedish Teachers' Union, said that politicians should not interfere with schools' homework policies. She said that politicians had an "excessive ambition" to micromanage the work of schools.

"feminist self-defence" in public schools
I just can't love Sweden enough for its stupidity......
This story gives you a glimpse of a future of society run by militant feminists・
A "feminist self-defence" for all girls, money earmarked at compulsory and upper secondary levels, in order to "improve girls' self-confidence"
Left Party: teach all girls self-defence
Sweden's Left Party wants all girls to be offered 'feminist self-defence' training from the seventh grade, aged 13-14. Meanwhile, boys should attend courses in feminism.
The party is demanding that money be earmarked for self-defence for all girls, both at the compulsory and upper secondary levels, according to Svenska Dagbladet.
The proposal is part of a new programme for schooling and is a continuation of the decision made in 2001 by the Social Democrats and their political partners to invest five million kronor in self-defence classes "to improve girls' self-confidence".
The Liberal Party's education spokesman, Jan Bjklund, declared himself sceptical towards the idea of 'teaching violence in school'.
"Different feminist groups are competing to be the most militant. But equality cannot be about learning to beat each other up," he said.

Drunk women discriminated against
Breaking news!!! Another disturbing evidence of thriving patriarchy in Sweden!!! Scientific study has found out that drunk women are refused more often than drunk men. ---probably what we need is a new gender training course for bartenders and bar owners to serve drunk women another pitcher of beer.

Discrimination in ……of course, Sweden.
My belief is that gender feminists will never stop their accusing of men and society in general for gender discrimination, no matter how much progress women make, or how many gender quota laws were enacted, how many daycare centers were established, how many so called “deadbeat dads” were thrown into prison and how fewer number of men go to college. The victimology and demonization of men are so deeply entwined in basic tenets of gender feminism, indeed it is theoretically impossible to conceive of modern gender feminism in other way. One example to prove this point is an article published in an international edition of newsweek titled “The Gender Gap: Moms Not Wanted”.
The female author of this article claims that Sweden’s welfare system, which, to feminist’s dream, provides 480 day parental leave with 80% pay, is actually hurting women, because private sector is, oh what a surprise, "less willing to deal with the disruption caused by very long maternity leaves," and thus is less likely to hire women. I emphasize with Swedish companies. I emphasize with them even more when you think that there are looming threat to these companies of a new gender quota in the boardroom, just like the one that has hitted its neighbor, Norway. Long maternity leave is a course of a new "glass ceiling" and a “subtle discrimination”, as one gender feminists put it in the article.
What do these feminists want? Didn’t they want ridiculously long, macro-and micro-economically-challenged maternity leave for every women with all the perks and privileges? Now that they've got that in this northern feminist utopia, they are blaming it a discrimination? This would lead one to wonder as to the solution to this dilemma in the feminist-utopia - get rid of this long maternity leave or force companies to ban considering the possibility of long maternity leave in hiring of new personnel? Of course the correct answer, as gender feminist would tell us, will be the latter, but how? Another gender-quota law or re-education camp?
This is a good example that feminists will never stop their accusation of discrimination, and perpetual blaming of men and society. It is ironic that their supposedly women-friendly programme actually turned out to hurt some of the women (and needless to say rest of the society), it predictably led to cry for further corrective social engineering scheme, with more vengeance.
