In 2004, Swedish feminists proposed a special tax on men, just for being male.

Women consume far more social services and healthcare costs.

So . . . yeah . . .

If you want a special tax on men for what they disproportionally cost society sure. But let's do the same for women as well.

I don't think they'd like that math.

Let's try this.

A government investigation into the cost to society of female social security. And a tax against women to settle the account. Those were two suggestions put forward by the Left Party's feminist council, led by colourful former party boss Gudrun Schyman.

"It's a huge social problem [social security for women], which very few people want to discuss. It's about time we put a price on it."

Just when you thought humanity had reached a new low comes Gudrun Schyman.

Domestic violence kills 16 woman a year.

How many men are killed by domestic homicide?

If we're going to collectively blame an entire sex for violence against another group, how many children are killed by women?

Blacks are more violent than whites. Should we enact a tax on blacks? Of course not. You'd be punishing an entire group of people based on the actions of a minority.

"We know that women have significantly less money than men. Men have some kind of willy bonus in that they earn 10% to 20% more."

Do I really!?

it's okay though, sweden is le literally utopia.

EvilPundit · 2012-12-08T21:10:34+00:00

So what ever happened with this? I'm guessing nothing since the story is so old, if it ever passed it would be the fact that they had such a tax there that was the headline. Why is this creepy shit so common in Sweden but not Norway or Finland?

flyingkangaroo · 2012-12-09T03:43:34+00:00

The first idea is not so controversial. A number of countries, including USA, Canada and Finland have undertaken similar exercises

I never cease being astonished how people are so prone to inducing that other Western countries more or less share their own country's mindset and policy structures.

A tax on men, specifically, for this reason would never happen here in the USA - the land of anti-discrimination policies.

Run with it! Women of the Western World have become "morbidly obese". There is a high cost to socialized health care systems (Canada etc.) because of heart desease, diabetes etc. THEREFORE we need a FAT TAX. Women make use of more health care, we need USER FEEs to make social health care equitable. Run with it, we all want healthier women don't we?

The guys who beat on their female partners usually don't pay taxes.

2012-12-09T03:35:56+00:00

The hell is a women's tariff?

99% VaW in Scandinavia is perpetrated by 3rd world immigrants that the Left Party insists on importing. How about we tax them since they caused the problem in the first place?

Pecanpig · 2012-12-09T04:08:57+00:00

Sweden's a nice country and all, but I wouldn't want to live there. I mean, if they got rid of their super-ultra-mega feminist funk monster toss pots then yes, I'd love to, but with them? Yeah no.

Come on Sweden, get it together.

l0c0dantes · 2012-12-09T04:13:45+00:00

And it didn't pass. I am sure that more than a fair share of batshit legislation is purposed in the US that never really sees the light of day.

In 2009 a tax deduction was proposed for women only in Ireland. By the IMF as a means of getting the country's finances in the black.

In the US women account for more than 75% of our healthcare costs. I would like to see a tax imposed on women to correct this imbalance.

And no, ladies, you won't be able to "prove" that the extra money you're costing our nation is the fault of men no matter how hard you try to twist the facts.
