    Foiled by the Swedes again:
    Sweden and Norway ranked highest on the index because, says Dr Sevilla Sanz, “in egalitarian countries there is less social stigma attached to doing what was traditionally women’s work”.

    It seems strange that the article praises men for doing housework, but the headline mocks them...

    I'm single, but if i did have a girlfriend i'd be more than happy to attend to whatever chores needing doing. My mother seemingly thought i'd be a house cleaner when i grew up, she always had me cleaning and washing things. Proper order too.

    Himself is home from work earlier than me so always has dinner started or ready. We each share the jobs- very un PC but he does the dirty jobs & do the house stuff. I don't do bins & he doesn't do clothes sorting. Works well for us-

    God damn those Norweigans!!!:D

    Although Swedish district prosecutor Rolf Hillegren has been reported to the justice ombudsman for published comments in which he classified some categories of rape as mere regulatory offences.

    "When one says rape one thinks mostly of really nasty rapes. But take a man and a woman who know each other and the woman says she doesn't feel like it today, but the man just goes ahead anyway. Sure, it is not very nice, but maybe not worth two years in prison. It is more like a regulatory offence," he said. He will no longer work on sex crime cases, it has been announced.

    What a f*cking eejit.


    edit, Two years is the minimum sentence for rape in Sweden.
