STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A new women's political party is set to emerge in Sweden, a country already considered a world-leader in women's rights.

Rumors of the planned feminist party have been circulating ever since one of Sweden's most high-profile feminists, Gudrun Schyman, resigned as head of the previously communist Left Party last year to focus on making gender equality the main theme of the upcoming 2006 general elections.

"There are networks and there are groups, and feminist questions have been raised within political parties that exist today. But at the same time the reality we are living in shows us that this is not enough," Schyman said in a radio interview on Sunday, declining to reveal whether she intended to unveil a feminist party this week.

The speculation was that the party would see the light on international women's day Tuesday.

1. I like the sound of that!

I'm Swedish, but lived here in the US for 17 years. I recently decided that the bush nausea I have everyday isn't worth it, and I'm hoping to move back before the end of the year.
I will be checking this party out.
I'm sure if women ruled the world, there would be no wars.

3. I bet if the USA had a feminist party,

they would do better than the present Dems.

6. Riiight.

Because only men ever see violence as an option.

And in other news, women really are naturally bad at math and science, I guess. :eyes:

4. A Party of Swedish Women?!

Seriously, this is awesome.

Now, if we could just get the same type of political party in the US.

7. Warning flags have been raised that

a new feminist party, according to polls, could become very popular but end up stealing votes from the Greens, Socialdemocrats and Left Party possibly causing the conservatives to win the next election.

Could be just boogey-man tactics from the male dominated leadership of the Socialdemocrats though?

:shrug:

But if true and the conservatives win, what will then happen to gender issues within Sweden politics...

8. It's all true...

Gudrun Schyman, the woman who suggested that all men should pay higer taxes to pay for the small group of men that abuse women.
The agenda is not to make men and women equal. The goal is to make women the dominant sex in society.

We are not talking feminists here, we are talking feminazis.

[Skittles]

10. what do you call men now who ARE the dominant sex?

???????????????????????????

9. It is a coalition Parliamentary system

Feminist party? Now that's creepy.

[catzies]

13. Really? Why, pray tell?

Why are we so scary? We're your mothers, and sisters, and daughters, and nieces.

Welcome to DU, I think.

12. Maybe this is what we need

for gender equality in this nation!
