"just one in six Danes consider themselves a feminist"

"The Best Countries for Women is a perception-based ranking based on the responses of nearly 9,000 women who filled out surveys for the 2019 Best Countries rankings. The ranking is derived from a compilation of five equally weighted country attributes: care about human rights, gender equality, income equality, progress and safety."

Combined they make the statement that you can label yourself as non-feminist and still care about human rights, gender equality, income equality, progress and safety.


Here you have a perfect example of how truth is socially constructed. Keep discussing and hopefully some consensual truth will emerge... Maybe... And not for long...


Labelling yourself a non-feminist and truly caring about gender equality is a paradox unless you have an incorrect view of what feminism is.


Or maybe you have incorrect view of what equality is.
