Life in the smorgasboardroom Thanks to Michael R for the link to this example of wonderfully wayward feminist politics in Norway.
Particularly mysterious and intriguing is the government office of Minister for Family and Children which Karita Bekkemellem apparently holds. Through some Scandinavian absurdity it is possible for a politician both to tend to the interests and welfare of young Norwegians and their family life AND to advocate a step that can only harm said young Norwegians ... and their family life. Now, I confess that this might be a peculiarly Anglo-Saxon point of view. I understand that a certain clannishness afflicts the psyche of all peoples whose breath freezes in summertime. A shortage of the old sunshine vitamin makes you do some extremely wierd things. Forget Mums and Dads, for example. Petty tyrants only interested in boardroom intrigue. The local council has the interests of young Kvist and Katla closer to its heart. It can love them just as much and set them f-r-e-e. Ah, isn’t that nice. Socialism is just so darned nice. It’s the same with the economic health of the country. I mean, if a female minister can suppose that more women in the workplace is conducive to a happy and healthy Norwegian childhood, obviously she will have a flawless instinct for good economics too. Government interference in the affairs of private companies can only be a “good thing”. Better management and bigger profits are just bound to happen. Aren’t they? But, of course, all fanatical feminists have brilliant economic records. Feminists are just so brilliant. Brilliant mothers. Brilliant politicians. Brilliant and awfully empathic, sensitive company directors. Just don’t ask them to cook, I suppose, or all hell could break loose. Comments:2

In other words, not only do they not accept natural differences between men and women, they’re not even ultimately interested in equal representation of men and women. Show me the feminist concern when women dominate certain uni courses or professions. There is none. 3

Two out of three charged with rape in Norway’s capital are immigrants with a non-western background according to a police study Post a comment:

How sadly pathetic that these people can’t cope with the reality of gender difference ... that they would even prefer to break up companies and damage their own economy than accept such differences.
Aren’t they supposed to be the “tolerant” ones?
