Another party goes crazy feminist in Sweden...

First, there was a feminist initiative, not the left party is picking up similar policies...thank god the party is ailing.

The ailing Left Party has proposed a series of equality-related initiatives in an attempt to prise the issue the from the hands of the Feminist Initiative.

The party is suggesting the establishment of a Ministry for Equality and a state agency to oversee equality issues. The Left Party is also demanding that all organisations which receive state funding have a "gender power perspective" regarding distribution.

But those policies will seem strangely familiar to the Feminist Initiative - which recently proposed a Minister for Equality with his or her own department, a subordinate agency and a parliamentary equality committee.

The Left Party did not go so far as to demand the parliamentary group but said it wanted to see an "equality audit" of parliamentary affairs.

However, the party proposed a "national cost calculation" of men's violence against women, as well as a treatment programme to encourage men to take responsibility for their violence.

The "gender perspective" requirements placed on organisations and associations depending upon state financing would mean that any money received and work carried out would have to be divided equally between men and women.

The Left Party also said it wants a survey of the real value of Sweden's pornography market, and the link between pornography and sexualised violence against women. Limiting the spread of pornography was also included in the proposals.
