2	Denmark: Fathers will no longer receive mail from the public sector from 1. of November, only mothers are tied to the child in the eye of the state. I never heard about the extra tax thing (is it even true?), but many in Sweden think that party is fucking nuts. I think most western countries would get a similiar result for a feminist party, especially if you throw in a well known politician in the mix. They also gain a lot of votes on their anti-racism views, which is very 'in' because of the Sweden democrats' recent success.	/r/MensRights	25/10/14 12:56 AM
0	Denmark: Fathers will no longer receive mail from the public sector from 1. of November, only mothers are tied to the child in the eye of the state. Sounds a lot like Sweden, the only difference is we trashed conscription all together. Sure, there is a a lot of feminist bullshit going on in politics (but it isn't as bad as it seemed, since the feminist party did not do very well in the swedish election), but Sweden gets an undeserved bad rap here.	/r/MensRights	24/10/14 07:31 PM
2	Article in major Swedish newspaper claims that only women should be allowed to vote because "women are more conscious of oppression", "women are wiser than men", and men "do not realize our privileges" (in Swedish) Yeah, Sverigedemokraterna is probably the only affected party at the moment, or perhaps it might also affect the new party Kristna värdepartiet (Christian value party, and yes, they are batshit crazy). I do not agree with SD, but I do value and support democracy, but so many people seem to not support democracy these days. Whenever SD participates somewhere, there will always be some idiots who want to protest or forcefully stop SD from participating. Since elections are near in Sweden, a lot of…	/r/MensRights	20/04/14 06:31 PM
4	Article in major Swedish newspaper claims that only women should be allowed to vote because "women are more conscious of oppression", "women are wiser than men", and men "do not realize our privileges" (in Swedish) I never saw our voting system as an issue, but perhaps it is. You can simply take every single ballot with you if you want to. Heck, now that you raised this issue about our voting system (I never really thought about it before) I think I'll take all the ballots to the booth this year, just because I can. I mean, it is easy to avoid having others see which ballot you take, like be voting in advance or simply waiting for the voting hall to be empty (my voting hall is never very busy), but it real…	/r/MensRights	20/04/14 03:18 PM
3	been doing research into feminist theory and stumbled across this gem. that this way of thinking is considered scholarly and taught to students is really gonna set us back Feminism in academia is fucking scary. I'm studying to be a social worker, and the way feminism is seen as the absolute truth is scary. Everyone expects you to be a feminist, and I'm often too scared to speak up. I hate it, and all the other politically correct bullshit is driving me mad.	/r/MensRights	01/04/14 12:12 PM
2	A refreshing sight to find here in Sweden! What you said is true, but for some reason, people here still hate Sweden.	/r/MensRights	24/02/14 10:05 PM
11	I noticed something interesting in my health insurance policy about birth control coverage... Isn't this just about making money? If a woman gets sterilized, then the insurance company does not have to pay up for any health care related to pregnancy. Assuming this is an individual plan and not some kind of family plan, then the male's insurance never pays for that stuff anyway, so a sterilized man is not an advantage to the insurance company. I'm not very familiar with US health insurance, but to me this seems to just be a company trying to make money...	/r/MensRights	06/11/13 10:10 AM
1	You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means The thing that bugs me about hen is that it is not needed, since we already HAVE a gender-neutral pronoun; den. Also, the object form of hen is sometimes said to be henom. The even dumber version is to still use hen, which is not how the Swedish language works.	/r/MensRights	29/10/13 11:44 AM
7	Swedish municipality to vote on "Equality Tax", which would mean men are to pay 7% more in income tax. Seriously. All the overly politically correct bullshit is annoying, yes, but Sweden is pretty damn equal. Split custody is the norm, splitting parental leave 50/50 is encouraged (since you get more money during the parental leave if you do), most households are dual-income, and alimony is unheard of.	/r/MensRights	14/05/13 02:39 PM
10	Sweden, where women are already the dominant gender, MRA is defined as 'Men who hate women' Seriously. I've said this here before. I'm in Sweden, and I don't get the hate on this subreddit. There are more things to add to your list, like how it is encouraged to split parental leave 50/50, since if you do, you will get more money (you get money during parental leave). Stay at home parents are pretty much unheard of (other than with people from other cultures), so both parents typically work at least part time. Splitting custody 50/50 is the default. Of course we have crazy feminists, an…	/r/MensRights	19/04/13 03:51 PM
18	After criminalizing buying sex, Swedish Feminists have subtly turned male sex drive into mental disorder -- therapy is offered to those who caught buying sex Swede here, here is my shitty translation: More and more sex buyers seek help to stop buying sex. This can be seen at the municipality-run support service Kast, which stands for buyers of sexual services (Köpare Av Sexuella Tjänster), which is located in Malmö, Gothenburg and Stockholm. In Malmö, the amount of people seeking help has doubled from 2010 to 2011, and last year 60 people sought help. That more and more want support is positive, says Lisa Green at Kast in Malmö. It can be positive in…	/r/MensRights	31/03/13 12:22 AM
1	Swedish Feminists Are So Bored, They're Telling Men How To Sit On The Subway Sigh, this shit makes me ashamed of being a Swedish woman... I definately think it is rude to take up more space than you need when the train/buss is actually crowded, like during rush hour. When it is practically empty, then why the fuck should anyone care how much space I or the guy in front of me is using? A site like that would have a purpose if it was for posting pictures of anyone who took up too much space at an inappropriate time (like girls letting their purse take up a whole seat), but…	/r/MensRights	26/03/13 02:03 PM
1	Swedish Feminists Are So Bored, They're Telling Men How To Sit On The Subway There definately is progress being made for men in Scandinavia too. I don't think Sweden deserves all the shit it gets from this subreddit sometimes. Sure, politicians are indoctrinated into all the feminist bullshit, but that isn't exactly exclusive to Sweden. Sweden has taken steps to promote equality when it comes to parenting, which is a huge thing when you compare it to the rest of the world. Parental leave is around a year per child here, and it is encouraged to split that time 50/50 betwe…	/r/MensRights	26/03/13 01:57 PM
2	r/MensRights: why aren't we working together? Simply because the "issues" you mentioned are trivial, bullshit ones compared to the issues often discussed here.	/r/MensRights	19/02/13 10:22 AM
4	a funny thing happened at the gym ... Hah, I'm in Sweden too, I'm a woman, and I've seen male workers enter the women's locker room.	/r/MensRights	28/11/12 07:35 PM
4	a funny thing happened at the gym Yes... I've seen it happen, and some places have signs telling people that staff of the opposite sex might have to enter.	/r/MensRights	28/11/12 07:32 PM
8	a funny thing happened at the gym They do let male cleaners clean the women's locker rooms, in my experience. It wouldn't surprise me though if it's more of an issue in men's locker rooms, since there seem to be more women doing that kind of cleaning job (correct me if I'm wrong).	/r/MensRights	28/11/12 04:23 PM
3	Can men be trusted to take male contraceptive pill? Nope, men can't be trusted to take the pill everyday, but guess what, neither can women. That is why both need the option to take contraceptive pills.	/r/MensRights	12/11/12 11:28 PM
