‘Feminist’ Snow-Plowing System Brings Stockholm to a Standstill
- msie 10y agoThis joke article was a waste of my time.
- wyclif 10y ago1/ Not a joke at all 2/ Article was "waste of my time", yet you had enough time to comment on it. Fascinating.
- imartin2k 10y agoThis article (and many others about this topic) forgets an important detail: it was the snowiest November day in 111 years. Thus, the causation implied is not certain. http://www.thelocal.se/20161110/stockholm-just-set-a-new-snow-record http://www.thelocal.se/20161110/stockholm-just-set-a-new-sno... Additionally, the label "feminist" snow-ploying system is unnecessary polarizing (however, that might be a branding error by the city). In fact, the point of the whole thing was to not only to prioritize snow clearing for people who drive cars (where the majority is men) but also cyclists and pedestrians. I find this to be a welcome effort, the gender issue aside.
- pvdebbe 10y agoThe whole effort -- in good or bad faith -- was poisoned with the gender politics, especially with the toxic variation of feminism.
