“Girls who obtain money advantages are much less feminist than girls who return to work rapidly” – Vårt Land

I strongly agree once I see influencers honoring the position of the housewife in an old school method, with subordination as the perfect. It is not one thing to attempt for, and neither are most Norwegian girls. On the identical time, it is high-quality to need extra time with the youngsters and need to be baking, no matter your gender, with out being branded a trade-off by the Labor Minister.

There’s a elementary distinction between whether or not the buildings of society power girls to be financially dependent, and selecting time over cash for a time period. I’ll by no means settle for a societal improvement that provides my daughters fewer alternatives than me, however that’s not the center of the talk in Norway both. That is about being severe in regards to the want of some mother and father to prioritize their youngsters for a brief a part of their lives.

Tremendous anti-feminist

I personally haven’t chosen to work much less, however I imagine it’s downright anti-feminist to disclaim that chance to different girls. It’s incorrect and dangerous when politicians like Tonje Brenna make so known as “traditionalists” those that select to be slightly extra at residence with their youngsters. True feminism is about respecting the opposite selections of ladies and men, not dismissing them as incorrect. We have to take it significantly that folks really feel that society’s best of full-time work doesn’t swimsuit them, or reject it. We have to give mother and father actual freedom of alternative. For me, feminism is simply about that: that girls ought to have the ability to determine for themselves. Make your individual selections, with out others telling them they’re incorrect.

It’s incorrect and dangerous when politicians like Tonje Brenna make so known as “traditionalists” those that select to be slightly extra at residence with their youngsters.

Girls who obtain money advantages aren’t any much less feminist than girls who rapidly return to work. They only select one thing slightly completely different than society at massive suggests.

Full-time is cited because the norm and the perfect, even when the youngsters are small. However we all know who’s up in opposition to it. It’s the girls. Nearly one in three workers, and extra girls than males, discover that work takes up a lot time or power that it interferes with their personal life on a weekly or extra frequent foundation. Why aren’t extra individuals questioning what sick depart and unpaid depart do for girls, and the way we will guarantee true freedom of alternative for Norwegian girls?

Mock mother and father who select “incorrect”

Assuming that working full time is the one proper alternative for Norwegian girls is a mockery of all of the mother and father who “make the incorrect alternative” for a small interval of their lives.

I imagine that true equality means that there’s room for various selections. It turns into tough when one believes that paid work is the one factor that issues, whereas caring work will not be valued. When girls elevate the talk in regards to the steadiness between work and home tasks, it is about the truth that we do not need equality on males’s phrases. Most individuals need to take part within the working world and have time to be with their youngsters. Additionally it is an association with the everlasting rush, stress and lack of time, which characterize the every day lifetime of many households.

says Tonje Brenna that AS Norge desires girls in positions. Sure, we should always have profession alternatives like another man. Many ladies fought for my proper to take part on an equal footing with males, and I’m grateful for that. However the welfare state exists for us, not the opposite method round. It’s not for us to show the cowheels of the state, as Brenna reveals it. Her rhetoric makes it much less acceptable to make different selections than her personal.

Trendy household and equality coverage should give households extra freedom to determine how they need to prioritize their time between work and leisure. Subsequently, KrF has repeatedly proposed measures that may facilitate that higher.

Girls don’t have to be protected against themselves. They need freedom to do what’s greatest for them.
