> So excuse me for having a hard time finding those old-school feminists that talks about equal rights. The only time I saw one was in a opinion piece a year ago where equal rights was described as the "old" feminism movement, and I saw a lot of hatred directed at her rather than support in the comments.

That was my point: the people most active in online discussions do not necessarily represent a majority view. They are simply the most vocal. Talk to people around you - family, friends and coworkers. Does a significant proportion of them share these beliefs?

The people most likely to comment on matters like this in online discussions are people with extreme opinions on them.

I cannot comment on the swedish initiative as I'm not familiar with it.

The issue is that different races and even different value systems are ... different. In more than skin color.

The implication of that is that in any given pursuit, true equality will not create proportional representation. (And common sense tells you that fixing that with incentives is impossibly complex and therefore will never be achieved)

Were you responding to anything in particular in my comment or is this just something you wanted to get off your chest?
