I wonder...when will Swedish men access their Viking heritage and begin protecting their women?<br /><br />I think you're right there's a huge disconnect there. Here's a 30 minute documentary about a gender-free ideology going on in Sweden. The pro-side says they want to make all behavior accessible to both genders. The con-side suggests the result is still that more masculine traits are devalued rather than socialize - behaviors like aggression and competition as motivation, and so the boys under this system do worse in schools.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sPj8HhbwHs Raised Without Gender VICE Jul 25, 2017<br /><br />Apparently the danger here is when valid culture is defined by feminine values under the name "equality", but where masculine behavior must conform to the feminine sensibilities to be acceptable. And perhaps it does take a decade of increased violence and rape for an egalitarian society to identify that something critical has been lost.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-1358120179856828992017-11-19T20:17:20.816-08:002017-11-19T20:17:20.816-08:00Any classification is tricky.

So labels by religion, or culture, or race all can risk unfair generalization.<br /><br />I wouldn't think police report rapists by their religion, whether they are Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or Atheist. And each of these labels can be not just religions, but also cultures, even if also multiple cultures.<br /><br />It seems like the honest approach to reporting is to neither repress or prejudge anything, but to simply report various objective characteristics of each perpetrator, perhaps including religion, and then when that information is released, various more or less honest individuals or groups can analyze that data, and fight over interpretations.<br /><br />So it does sound like Sweden is trying to silence debate by hiding data, to try to protect one group from another. It looks like a foolish decision based on fear that will backfire.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-40265604121240758192017-11-19T08:12:37.433-08:002017-11-19T08:12:37.433-08:00I wonder...when will Swedish men access their Viki...I wonder...when will Swedish men access their Viking heritage and begin protecting their women?
