Paternity leave is much more of a thing in Zelda Land, but still a matter of debate from what i understand. The two men are showing off about how they are much more enlightened than those trogs that dont take an equal share of direct parental responsibility for newborns, when the mothers are still doing all the work. Men Are Dumb Idiots seems to be the guiding theme behind many of the recent Zeldas.

Funny how a Swedish comic strip uses Anglo-american suffragettes instead of the activists that fought for the right to vote in that country prior to 1921.  For a fictional character, it is indeed not difficult to be better at something than other fictional characters. Also, this Charlotte Whitton person was apparently quite a racist.

TheDeadlyShoe posted:Paternity leave is much more of a thing in Zelda Land, but still a matter of debate from what i understand. Yea, it's literally just about "I took paternity leave without really understanding what responsibility that leaves me". And on top of that shows more of how many men, including those who mean well, don't really understand what goes into something like child care. Maternity leave is important for everyone to be able to use. And it's annoying that part of the fight is trying to teach the men making these decisions that it's actually really loving hard to raise a child and have a full time job with no breaks. And so it's frustrating to see a man (or strawman, whatever floats your boat) who takes advantage of something that they really don't understand or care to understand. there wolf posted:The amount of nitpicking and confusion all these feminism 101 strips are producing is pretty funny.

That makes it seems like people are varying degrees of bad all throughout the past. I don't personally know yet whether we accept the good and acknowledge and critique the bad or what that would look like. Also it should be noted for clarity that I'm an idiot so yea...

It means employers cannot use maternity leaves to discriminate against women (one of the most common argument to explain why it's logical and not sexism that women have lower wages is that they lose a few months of work to maternity leaves).

Nevertheless, she would have been a better candidate for a mention in the strip than any of those quoted. I wonder if Lina Neidestam even knows that she existed? The characters in the strip certainly namedrop high-profile Americans often enough, but never Swedish or Scandinavian ones even when it would be apropos.

Kopijeger posted:
Sweden is ridiculously progressive and the Swedish equality issues would be laughable in a comic for international readers. For example. In Sweden women get 7 weeks paid maternity leave before and 7 weeks after the birth of the baby After that the family gets 480 days of paid leave to take care of the kid. These days can be distributed however the family likes except that 90 days for the sake of equality are earmarked for the other parent. So the mother can't take 480 days, she can take 390 days and the father must use the other 90 days if they want to be paid for those. The argument for this system is that otherwise there are huge tendencies for families to end up with the woman taking all 480 days. This way the government forces the dad to take 90 days too. However if you have a family where one parent earns a lot more money than the other then the family benefits more from if that parent keeps working while the other stays at home. This system "forces" the better earning parent to either stay at home or the family has to settle for just 390 days. There's also the argument that the women always take the first set of days (breastfeeding and all) which is when the baby is the worst. When the baby then calms down a bit the dad takes over and has a relatively chill time at home. This is then state enforced and the family themselves have no saying about it. Some want the days split right down the middle for both parents to take half each. This is a Swedish equality issue. How do you make a comic about this for an international audience?

Unless I'm missing something here, raising sons to not hate femininity =/= raising them to be a Brony. In fact I'm pretty certain the Brony problem was because Bronies had been raised to hate femininity hence why they brought their inherent misogyny into the fandom of a series that was specifically created to be against misogyny.

I see the toy but it is rather irrelevant here and focusing on it for no reason kinda misses the point completely. Actually, I'm sure what the point of even posting that one here was in the first place. As someone with a niece, I've seen many shows intended for girls with her up to and including MLP. And while they're not my personal cup of tea, I don't see any issue with watching it as long as you're not a misogynist trying to twist the series around yourself which was why the Bronies were bad in the first place.
