European feminism is like feminism was supposed to be in America. Women wanted to be treated equally. So, Sweden for instance has gender equality. They don't want to be men or be in power like in America. I have heard countless men tell me or I have heard men say that Swedish women always pay for their own shit. Swedish women usually pay for their man. Have you ever heard of this from an American woman?Enishi wrote:Can you comment on the differences between Swedish feminism and American/Anglo feminism?Phoenix Sosa wrote:Never lump Sweden or countries like that with UK, US, CA, OZ...All of it is bullshit. The best women I have met have been in Scandinavia. I am either moving to Denmark or Sweden in 2012. More than likely going to Sweden. Feminism in Sweden is not like American feminism. It is not even close. I hate when people try to compare the two like it's the same. Many men are eliminating countries like Sweden because of hearsay. It is not fair to the wonderful ladies there.
In regards to American feminism, I think the assumption that men and women are the same is bound to create friction, but that was never my main issue with American girls, rather, it's their double standards, entitlement complexes and demonizing of men. Many right-wing conservative AWs have the same mentality, oftentimes even moreso...
It would be interesting to get more perspectives on this, as oftentimes the act of avoiding AWs and looking for romance overseas is viewed as just another right-wing fringe movement.
I have family members either married or have girlfriends from Europe and they tell me things.
