#mansfrågor

Malin Ekman wrote that men, according to her, had begun to adopt less flattering traits traditionally associated with women, especially men in public life. She argued that they moralized to maintain their place in social communities and pointed to Alex Schulman as an example. After Dagens Nyheter recruited him, he had, according to Ekman, repeated left-liberal positions already put forward by colleagues and expressed indignation over issues that fit within that environment. Most recently, he had reacted with disgust to support for Stefan Holm, who, according to Ekman, had attacked Schulman's friend in a bar after the friend had jokingly mentioned on TV eight years earlier about killing Holm and his son. Ekman described the mockery of Holm as typical of a community where people constantly judged who was accepted and who it was safe to mock. She argued that those who supported Holm did not necessarily defend his long-standing grievances or propensity for violence, but rather his right to stand up for himself and his family even when it went against prevailing notions of right and wrong. According to Ekman, they instead despised men like Schulman, whom she described as adaptable and prone to decide who could be ostracized. #mansfrågor #feminism #könsroller (translated)
