A few years back the then-prime minister of Norway (Solberg) encouraged women to have more children. I’m not sure if there were some actual incentives. Well in any case, women writers started responding to her about how they can’t have children because X, Y, and Z.
What stunned me about that was that they took the admonition seriously to begin with. That a statesperson telling you to have more children or have children at all “for Norway” was worth responding to.
- themaninthedark 2y agoWhy? If the prime minister wants to accomplish a goal, shouldn't they outright state it and shouldn't the public respond with the blockers to reaching that goal?
