‘Feminist’ Snow-Plowing System Brings Stockholm to a Standstill
http://heatst.com/world/feminist-snow-plowing-system-brings-stockholm-to-a-standstill/
".... The “gender equal” strategy came in last year after politicians in the Swedish Green Party argued that the old way of clearing major roads in central areas favours men, who are more likely to work in the city, and get there by car.
Instead, the plows were sent to clear out sidewalks and cycle paths – on the basis that women walk and bike often. They also focused on areas like kindergartens, which children and parents visit in the morning.
Unfortunately, the theory did little to save Stockholm when a bumper snowfall hit at the end of last week.
Indeed, almost a week later buses are still struggling to run, and some 1,700 public transport passengers are planning to sue.
Progressive politicians have gone on the defensive, with the MP who suggested it claiming that the snow plows hadn’t executed the “gender-equal” plan properly.
Despite efforts to defend it, the plan has become a laughing stock....."
