The rutabaga, in my opinion, tastes disgusting. My grandmother used to try and persuade me to eat it – to no avail. The flowering part of the root vegetable contains both pistils and stamens, rendering the brassica napobrassica sexually ambidextrous.
Sweden has taken its cue from the vegetable in that it has decided that its children are to be raised asexually: Swedes must pretend to be swedes.
From here:
Swedes can be remarkably thorough in their pursuit of gender parity. A few years ago, a feminist political party proposed a law requiring men to sit while urinating—less messy and more equal. In 2004, the leader of the Sweden’s Left Party Feminist Council, Gudrun Schyman,proposed a “man tax”—a special tariff to be levied on men to pay for all the violence and mayhem wrought by their sex. In April 2012, following the celebration of International Women’s Day, the Swedes formally introduced the genderless pronoun “hen” to be used in place of he and she (han and hon).
Egalia, a new state-sponsored pre-school in Stockholm, is dedicated to the total obliteration of the male and female distinction. There are no boys and girls at Egalia—just “friends” and “buddies.” Classic fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White have been replaced by tales of two male giraffes who parent abandoned crocodile eggs. The Swedish Green Party would like Egalia to be the norm: It has suggested placing gender watchdogs in all of the nation’s preschools. “Egalia gives [children] a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be,” says one excited teacher. (It is probably necessary to add that this is not an Orwellian satire or a right-wing fantasy: This school actually exists.)
This will, of course give rise to a new vocabulary—-
Swede-speak.
Squaten-Pee — National method of urination.
Booben-Halter- Chestwear for men to equalized appearance.
Jocken-flaten- Underwear for men for bulge equalization.
Borge-hocken– Non violent sport for all genders.
Ignorance is Bliss– Swedish National Anthem.
Tuer la difference-(Doda Skilladen)-(Swedish National Motto.(Kill the difference)
Oh well– I say, “Vive la difference”.
Well, peeing standing up in a regular toilet bowl does make a mess that is somewhat revolting to clean.
Only if you can’t aim straight.
Sign in Asian restaurant.
We aim to please, you please to aim!
I’ve heard it as “We aim to please. You aim too, please.”
You’re supposed to stand outside the bowl.
I’m guessing none of you actually clean toilets.
Isn’t that women’s work? ;>)
The Swedish urinal makers should be up in arms about that, but from Copenhagen is a ladies version.
This thread is Godwin’s Law gone terribly wrong.
“Egalia gives [children] a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be,”
And what will this woman think when confronted with the eventuality that most little girls will want to be girls and most little boys will want to be boys? Will she allow it? Or will she attempt to impose her agenda of spay and neuter onto these children and force feed them her propaganda and brainwashing until they think and behave in a manner that she considers to be correct and acceptable?
