For those of you who got triggered by "feminist", please do note the quotes. I.e., it's their claim, not mine[1]. I personally don't see that they've done much for gender equality, so they only make that claim because it's fashionable.
In the end it doesn't matter how feminist a government is if it cannot properly rule a country, and their actions speak louder than empty words.
What I personally find so galling about the whole debacle isn't that Maria Ågren wasn't punished enough, but the signals the state sends to the people. She got away with a slap on the wrist, and she will continue to earn $14 000/month in the forseeable future[2].
If someone becomes a director general of a state agency their resonsibilities and culpability should increase with the salary. Criminal incompetence is still criminal, and should be prosecuted.
Instead, our government tried to bury the leak.
