>Two schools rolled out what was called a compensatory gender strategy. Boys and girls at the preschools were separated for part of the day and coached in traits associated with the other gender. Boys massaged each other’s feet. Girls were led in barefoot walks in the snow, and told to throw open the window and scream. >One girl reportedly showed up at the beginning of the school year quiet, shy and with a penchant for staying clean. The teacher decided the little girl’s timidity was too “girlie” – her words, not mine – and taught her to scream “No!" She was encouraged to get dirty and be rude, apparently in an effort to make her more "masculine." >By the time March rolled round, the girl had gotten so loud that she drowned out the boys in the class, Ms. Sandberg said. At the end of the day, she was messy. The girl’s parents were less than delighted, she said, and reported that she had become cheeky and defiant at home. But Ms. Sandberg has plenty of experience explaining the mission to parents. >“This is what we do here, and we are not going to stop it,” she said.
Now that Sweden is trying to directly and deliberately change its culture, what will Swedish culture look like in ten, twenty, or thirty years from now? How will cultural norms, like the sauna (or is that Finnish?) be affected?
nytimes.com/2018/03/24/world/europe/sweden-gender-neutral-preschools.html >It is normal, in many Swedish preschools, for teachers to avoid referring to their students’ gender — instead of “boys and girls,” they say “friends,” or call children by name. Play is organized to prevent children from sorting themselves by gender. A gender-neutral pronoun, “hen,” was introduced in 2012 and was swiftly absorbed into mainstream Swedish culture, something that, linguists say, has never happened in another country.
Sounds spun to get outrage clicks. Like how that american school was reported to "force children to pray to allah" when they went on a field trip to a mosque and let children try the place's ceremony if they wanted.

What said.
Getting that wrong says quite a bit about the quality of the article. Furthermore, her [the author] calling it "Sweden’s experiment" is downright dishonest. Do they let anyone capable of holding a fucking pen write articles for the nytimes nowadays?

What's wrong with it ?

Acknowledging gender roles is intimidating to Sup Forums-tards
Easton Murphy
there is a minority in Sweden who raise their kids to become trannies, to become tomboys et.c these people make up maybe 0.01% of our country

I think it was Plato who said "The only way to produce strong women is to raise girls like boys."
Jace Collins
Yeah. Masculine girls seem to be far more accepted in society than feminine boys, it seems to me

Sadly it's true, some years ago one of our shitskin minister funded a school like that because she was impressed by the swedish model.
Sebastian Thompson
sounds like ideology-fuelled hazing
Grayson Richardson
>Boys massaged each other’s feet. hot
Carter Phillips
forcing them to be messy and loud isn't raising them like boys
Sebastian James
Honestly the world would be way better if all girls were raised like that. (No homo)

More niggers. At least they don't do that kind of shit.
