At that time, the proponent figured he didn't need to cloak his true motivations.<BR/><BR/>This more recent proposal at least makes a gesture toward some sort of utilitarian end, wrongheaded though it is.

Where are the historicist arguments (which the feminist love to rely on) that men have paid far more tax throughout history? Perhaps it's the women who should pay more tax to counter-balance this?<BR/><BR/>Sweden seems to have grabbed its ankles on this one, once again.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it hasn’t escaped me that it’s a centre-right government that is pushing for this. Swedish traditionalists probably think that the best thing is to remain on the outer of party politics and somehow “hope” that thing get better by complaining about them. Thus, I’m not surprised that the Swedish “right” is doing this.<BR/><BR/>"<I>Hope</I>" No, sorry, can't seem to see any 'round these parts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-47881830848483623522007-09-11T23:52:00.000+10:002007-09-11T23:52:00.000+10:00They are to have an autonomous family life, a some...<I>They are to have an autonomous family life, a somewhat oxymoronic ambition as someone in serious pursuit of autonomy would most likely avoid the commitments of marriage and parenthood altogether.</I><BR/><BR/>Exactly.
