Denmark? You mean one of the least feminist countries in the developed world? Not to mention the openly racist narrative about immigrants in public media. Compared to other Scandinavian countries the Danish media is extremely toxic so not sure about portraiting it as a role model in "well informed and critical thinking".

Not sure what "least feministic" means but it's also the 2nd best place in the world to be a woman [1]. [1] https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/best-women https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/best-women

    "just one in six Danes consider themselves a feminist" "The Best Countries for Women is a perception-based ranking based on the responses of nearly 9,000 women who filled out surveys for the 2019 Best Countries rankings. The ranking is derived from a compilation of five equally weighted country attributes: care about human rights, gender equality, income equality, progress and safety." Combined they make the statement that you can label yourself as non-feminist and still care about human rights, gender equality, income equality, progress and safety.

      Labelling yourself a non-feminist and truly caring about gender equality is a paradox unless you have an incorrect view of what feminism is.

        Or maybe you have incorrect view of what equality is.

      Here you have a perfect example of how truth is socially constructed. Keep discussing and hopefully some consensual truth will emerge... Maybe... And not for long...

You seem to be confusing lack of polically correct lies with anti-feminism and racism.

  That's the thing. Danish media hates political correctness, for good and evil. It doesn't hesitate to publish numbers that indirectly fuel undemocratic narratives, even if they are true. I personally think we should be PC in those cases and think about what effects it will have on society.
