Sweden: “Most Equal”?

Apparently Sweden is considerd the most equal coutry. I don’t agree. We might be the least unequal country though…

A couple of days ago we had a bunch of people with the same degree I’ll get when/if I graduate: A Masters of Law. They were there so we could ask them questions. One of the questions was how easy it was for women with children to work in each field. The defence attorney said that at the moment all his male employees were on paternety leave and none of his female were. So he said that it wasn’t impossible. The district attorney said she wanted to do a little test. How many of the men had kids and how many of the women had kids. All the (four) men had kids and only one (out of four) woman had kids. This sparked a discussion on equality between those eight people.

They came to the conclusion that none of their feilds were equal yet, but they hoped that it would be better by the time we graduated.

Commenters

The person who commented on my post from yesterday also left a comment on my first post:

Did you actually tell him NO ?
Clearly and in no uncertain terms say that you were not consenting?
From your post it does not look like you did ….

I won’t let that comment through. From his blog I can tell that we probably don’t agree on anything, so why should we agree on a definition of rape? It doesn’t matter if I said “[c]learly and in no uncertain terms say that [I was] not consenting”. What matters is that he didn’t ask me for a yes. What matters is that what went on was emotional abuse, even if he had never touched me.

What matters is that he went on asking even after I had said no. Cos I did say no. Several times even. I told him I didn’t want to do what he wanted me to do. What matters is that he could just go on with his life like nothing happened and I will have to live with it forever.

White Privilege

This post is really good :)

Since I’m white I’ll never fully understand what it’s like being discriminated against because of skin colour, just like men will never fully understand what it’s like being discriminated against because of sex.

It’s Easy to be Straight

Read this.

It’s so easy to be straight and assume everyone else is too. I have a challenge for you: don’t assume everyone is straight. If someone mentions a opposite-sex partner? Ask if they are straight, bi or something else. Some people are very offended by this, so obviously only do this if you don’t risk getting beaten up by a homophobe.

Text Books

I’ve just ordered text books for 2244 SEK. That’s a lot of money… I will get some of the money back on my birthday though :D It’s only thirteen days left now. I’ll stop being a teenager… I like being a teenager!

I haven’t bought all my text books. The internet site where I bought them didn’t have two of them in stock, so I’ll have to buy them separately >< It’ll probably cost me a bit more, but I need those books. Thank god I don’t have tuitition fees to deal with. Sometimes I really like Sweden :D Having people get a higher education is beneficial for the society so here that education is financed with tax money^^

Fairly Good Day

Today was a pretty good day actually^^ I woke up next to boyfriend :) And I met a Risika and Dev. That was nice^^ Risika promised to come to my party :D

Also, I might’ve found a place to live :D Wiiieee!! A friend of a friend needed a roomie^^

What’s in a Name?

Legally Blonde?

I’m going to study law for the next four and a half years if everything goes as planned. A friend of mine joked and said I’d be like Elle Woods in Legally Blonde xD

Reading

I’ve skimmed through most of my archives today. I found posts about painful things, posts about things I’d almost forgotten and was happy to find, a lot of posts on rape and stuff like that.

One of the most painful posts I’ve ever written was about the time I was raped. Back then I didn’t call it rape. I was in denial and blamed myself… I read a lot of very painful posts on that.

Another painful post was the first one I wrote about my eating disorder.

I remeber the summer before I turned ten. I was on a school trip to a city a few hours train-ride away and there was a pair of scales in the bathroom there. I was curious, so I checked to see how much I weighed. I was tweny-nine kilos. I nearly freaked out! That was SO MUCH in my eyes, when in reality it is as average as it gets. I refused dinner that nigh, first time of many I did that.

I also found happy posts, but for some reason those never seem to be able to cancel out all the pain.

I wrote on post about pro-lifers, and how the ones we got in Sweden are miles better than the nut cases over seas. I wrote about counselling and panic attacks and friends and crushes and partying. I had a lot of posts with lyrics in them cos I couldn’t find the right words on my own.

I’ve written a lot in the past year or so^^

I Hate Being Broke
