fabrizzo,

I agree that the name feminism can never mean a movement for true gender parity. The name will always mean that it is one-sided.

we should have a stronger human rights group and do away with all women rights groups.The very name of their existence spells bias.I dont know how anyone can consider their cause honourable.True if they extend their reach to all in need rather than just women,but people tend to be selfish and do only what’s in their scope,which has been made narrow by the name they place themselves under

Our organization (Milk México, AC) is creating a national (Mexico) source/resource for topics like this. Although our focus is principally on sexual & reproductive health, the issues of gender, feminism, masculinities, family, relationships, nutrition and healthcare are all relevant.

I look forward to further discussions on your blog, and invite you to check out one of our important initiatives: SISMO (International Men’s Health Week-Mexico) that would be of interest to your readers. The website is http://www.sismo.org.mx and I invite you & others to participate this year.

Hi Nathan,

I don’t know the details of the marriage rates in Sweden, nor do I know if there are any ethnic differences. But we have a lot of single households, at the very least, that I do know.

However, what you say about a large negative population growth is incorrect. Many countries in Europe have a negative population growth, but Sweden is not one of them. For example, in Italy each woman gives birth to 1.3 children but in Sweden it’s 2.11 – which means that we sustain our population, even without immigration (whereas Italy’s population is shrinking fast, unless they have lots of immigrants). The Swedish situation is likely because of the generous maternity leave we have, and also because the immigrant subgroups have lots of kids. But Swedish women have lots of kids too, so it’s not only related to immigration.

Hi, I am in Australia.

I noticed that Sweden has one of the lowest marriage rates and highest divorce rates in the world. It has been stated that most of the marriages are among the racial minorities and most of the divorces among the native caucasian (white)Swedish. Is this statement correct and is this the inevitable result of the level of discrimination against men seen in Sweden? Also do you have a high proportion of single mothers and many men that live with a woman for a few years and then move on to the next? Also Sweden has a large negative population growth and most of the new and recent born are among the racial minorities.

nah…without womens support masculism doesent go anywhere. Sorry to tell you that.
The only reason feminism arosed, after all was only thanks to the support of men. Strangely they dont aknowledge it.
