This isn't representative of the "Swedish people". The political party they mention is tiny fringe party that's never gotten even close to 1% of the vote. The pre-schools they mention are a tiny handful of privately run institution. Calling it state-sponsored is highly misleading since basically all pre-schools are technically state-sponsored since they get some financial compensation based on the number of children under their care. Tanja Bergkvist isn't just some average Swedish mother they found, but an active gender issues writer campaigning on these issues. Basically nothing they write about is normal in Sweden and I don't know why they tried to pass it off as such

Of course it's a minority, sorry about the misunderstanding. I meant "some Swedish people", not "the Swedish people".
