Is this truly what feminist "equality" means?

**Douglas** · 25th-July-2012

Let's have a look at this definition of equality:

Gender equality ... means that women and men enjoy the same opportunities, rights and obligations in all areas of life.

That sounds reasonable as a definition of gender equality.

So does this really sound like things are equal:

A greater proportion of men than women complete their upper secondary education. Men comprise roughly 60 percent of all students in under-graduate university studies and almost two-thirds of all degrees are awarded to men. Significantly more men than women participate in adult education.

Many people would say that a country that has those statistics is clearly favouring men; they would say that women do not have equality. Politicians in such a country would be quoting such statistics and calling for extra assistance for women.

So how is it that Sweden is claimed to be one of the world leaders in equality when they have statistics like this? The answer might be obvious when we compare the text on education above with the quote below:
Gender equality: The Swedish approach to fairness - SWEDEN.SE

A greater proportion of women than men complete their upper secondary education. Women comprise roughly 60 percent of all students in under-graduate university studies and almost two-thirds of all degrees are awarded to women. Significantly more women than men participate in adult education.

There is only one kind of person that can possibly think that a country that 'boasts' such discrimination in its education programme could possibly be one of the world's leaders in equality. And that type of person is not a rational, average citizen.

(For more information on Sweden's concept of equality, see the links to men's sites in the 'Useful Links' section near the bottom of the Gender equality page.)

It is outrageous that they actually seem proud of this imbalance. But as we all know, 'equality' is not for men. It's a one way street in which the ultimate goal for Sweden might see it go from 'world leaders' to 'world winners' where 100% of degrees are awarded to women.

But degrees are not as valued as they were a few decades ago. Especially 'girly' degrees! At my place of work we've found that a degree does not necessarily mean that a person is smart. Yes, they can use Google, plagiarise Wiki and pass exams, but many cannot submit a report that is free of spelling mistakes or work out simple maths problems without reaching for a calculator.

when feminits carp about the absence of equality, they really mean the absence of advantage and unearned benefits they feel should be supplied by men to them cause they are wimyn; note wimyn don't complain about not being allowed t clean out latrines or to volunteer for direct combat duty

That seems to sum up Sweden's "approach to fairness" quite well.

If the world needs an example of what to fear by letting feminist political policies keep getting a hold of their country, they need look no further than the country of matriarchal dominance.

Equality my arse. MRA's really need to stop cessing about that nonsense and start considering what is just and fair and the best thing in the circumstances.

Many people in the western world believe that they live in a society that has equality. Many of those who don't think so, erroneously presume that any inequality is to the detriment of women only, with no compensating benefits.

MRAs need to keep highlighting the farce of what feminist policies consider "equality" to be. They need to keep educating the general public about the true nature of our society. The public needs to understand that men have always had the rough end of some aspects of law/society and the past few decades have eroded all men's reasons for tolerating that.

Whether anyone believes that egalitarianism is a good solution or not is up to them. What is important is that everyone realises that we do not have it now and that we have a society that is defining men as second-class citizens.

shysters are adroit in the use of abstract words like equality when they set out to dupe their chosen marks;

typically fraudsters never live up to their own spiel or rhetoric which they see the exclusive reserves of the audience and participants of the shell trick exponents;

the pea was never under any of the shells except when it suited the prestidigitator per sleight of hand;

nor will there be any equality for men in a gynocracy - men's role is as attendants to the imperious wimyn who despise them
