God knows Sweden is a misogynistic place, needing immediate political reform vis-a-vis the status of women. Actually, I'm not being facetious...just referring to the Muslim enclaves in Malmo and elsewhere. Thank Christ Eve Ensler and Jane Fonda are on the case!

...was a patriarchy. The male head of a Roman family had life and death powers over everyone else in the family (which could include cousins, in laws, etc. Think of the Godfather).

Sweden is not a patriarchy. The US is not a patriarchy either. Whatever the problems of women in Western society, patriarchalism ain't it.

The use of the word patriarchy is one reason feminism keeps equaling silly in many people's minds. It's strident, overblown, and doesn't even make sense.

Pity that ms Fonda had no research done before lending her glamour power to a feminist movement every feminist has refused association

with by now and then I do not even mean the staggering notoriority of its chairwoman ms Gudrun Schyman.

Sweden alas is no longer the exciting promise created by Olof Palme, in turn infatuated with Shirley MacLaine before getting shot in the street by a drunkard in l986. Sic transit. Only Stockholm remains an utterly lovely city

Hey, if there are any more sightings, let me know.

And yes, Ms. Fonda, not too shabby. Why don't you say that stuff over here, where we can really use you?

but until feminists start fighting along side men for fathers' rights in family courts, I'm not going to be able to. And when they do that, I can suggest a few other things they could do to prove their gender-equality bona fides.

but the woman can't be prosecuted because she is the victim. If this is a patriarcy I can't, without reference to femdom porn, imagine what a non patriarcy would look like.

for wanting to be fathers and also wanting to assert their true selves.

women are NOT.

this is definitely NOT a patriarchy- not in Sweden, not in the USSA.

women could care less about YOUR rights as a male. YOU ARE A SLAVE until spoken to. (Unless you are very rich, of course, like Ted Turner. but all of us men are rich beyond belief, and hence powerful, huh?)

feminism is on the rocks for many reasons, this assininity being one of them.
