Feminist Initiative (F!) stands on the idea that gender equality issues are not ´women issues´ but issues that concern the whole society. F! talk to men about their individual and collective responsibility; and calls them to take part against the patriarchy, in their private lives and with political action. As an example, here it is one of the campaign materials: a test on feminism for fathers!
Daddy, are you feminist?
Tests this checklist:
- I take half of the parental leave
- I gladly share both salary and household work
- drive my children to and take them from the kindergarten as much as my partner
- I tell children that it is normal to fell in love with someone of your own sex
- I encourage my daughter to be assertive and my son to show feelings
- am equally into washing machine's programmes than into household repairs
- I don’t want to be always the one who drives the car while my partner is sitting at the side
- I do not laugh with insulting jokes about women but show my dislike for them
- I try to make my children feel that they are in complete safety and security
- I know my children's sizes and remembers their friends’ birthdays
- For me, making an oven pancake is as easy as drinking a glass of water
- I respect always a woman's decisions about having an abortion or not
- I will never depart from my 100% assumed parenthood!
- I realize that men as group have more power in society than women as a group, I try to do something to change this situation
- I want to become member of Feminist Iinitiative and will send 200 Kr to the postal account 40 57 53-5.
