I saw her categorized as a feminist philosopher but her biography says she strongly opposes same-sex marriage. This would be really unusual in an American context and I wondered if this was a contradictory stance in Norway. Liz Read! Talk! 17:52, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- Well, yes. Monsen's stand is controversial. I think she was mainly involved in the feminist movement in the 70s. Many of her later books have dealt with other topics/perspectives; moral philosophy and so. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 18:05, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Feminism vs egalitarianism
[edit]As a country that is often described as egalitarian, why are things like parental leave listed here? There is nothing connecting it to feminism at all, which would make me think it was egalitarian in nature, not feminist. Why are we giving credit when credit is not due? Furthermore, in the Father's_quota article it clearly states it was put in place by the conservative party. Are we to assume all conservatives are feminists? 216.197.175.228 (talk) 04:33, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
In the case of the Conservative Party (Norway), its "social policies are quite liberal", its leader Erna Solberg is a woman, and it supported same-sex marriage in Norway during its legalization in 2008-2009. The party has historically been pro-reform and progressive and was instrumental in introducing old-age insurance back in the 1920s. I would not be surprised if the party includes local feminists, though feminism does not seem to be among its primary ideologies.
They are not a Tory party, though they seem to be affiliated with the European People's Party and the International Democrat Union. Their international allies are all supposedly centre-right, but they often include parties that are much more socially conservative. Dimadick (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
