iunno how well you can read danish with what knowledge you have of swedish, but i wrote a blog post about it ages ago.
in short what it says (and what i think) is: i think feminism has 'ruined' men in the sense that they're raised with feminine values - it's okay to cry, it's okay to cuddle babies, it's okay to do a lot of things that used to be a woman's thing, while the woman is raised with it's okay to be strong, it's okay to be strict, etc. the gender roles have been switched. men have become too soft. i mention in the blogpost that women have a lot of races for women's causes - men don't. there was one race made, an obstacle course through mud and shit and afterwards there was beer and sausages. wow, so badass, hm? there's also the fact that a lot more women get through the education system because everyone and their mother runs to their aid, because 'otherwise they get overlooked and it's so important to help them be strong and blah blah' while no one gives a fuck about the men. and the fact they have difficulties to begin with? - they were raised with 'it's okay to give up'. uhm, no. you're a man, you're strong, you're badass, you're not going to bloody give up just because "it's okay to be a softie". wtf.
i'm not saying that men shouldn't cry or cuddle their babies, i'm just pointing out general tendencies that give a big picture overall. it's so obvious, really, how the genders have sort of been reversed.
