No.... Sweden is rather spineless, sadly. Since we lost our empire the last viking spirit left the country.... (darn Russia!!!) It tends to get carried away with whatever ideological ideas are fashionable. Anything from racial hygiene to left wing utopianism.
Right now it's multiculturalism (right - because that always works out so well.... NOT!!!!)
The latest thing is feminsm. Even men have to be feminist, I am not joking. Political parties talk incessantly about how "feminist" they are, and feminism has some really weird results in the work place - mainly that many men cooly leave work at about 3 o'clock to collect their kids at the creche.
The idea is the more men are like women, and women are like men, the better.
It's just really irritating. I like being a woman and don't want to pretend that I have the personality and interests of a man. Similarly it is to me neither attractive, nor much point in men trying to be like women.
Saying something like this is totally unacceptable in Sweden at the moment.
A bit like saying America's invasion of Vietnam was justified, in the 1970s.... Haha!
