It's strange, I don't recognize that Sweden.
In computer-type jobs it's normal for men to take plenty of parental leave, and no stigma. Many work reduced work weeks too, right up until the youngest kid is 8 years old.
I know builders and such who do the same. And I've seen a few young female builders around too.
So I'm racking my brains trying to think what type of people in what type of job can be skewing the statistics.
Sweden is not a prejudice free country, but it's way better than Britian and, from the awful impression I've got from many short visits, the US.
