A poll, conducted by the YouGov-Cambridge Globalism Project of more than 25,000 people in 23 major countries, found that just one in six Danes consider themselves a feminist, a third said that wolf whistling at women in the street was acceptable, and two in five supported the #MeToo movement.
The startling results marks a dramatic contrast to Denmark’s neighbor Sweden, where 46 percent do, and a smaller share even than in countries like Italy, Spain and the UK, which otherwise lag far behind Denmark on gender equality.
Even Denmark’s Equality Minister Karen Ellemann declared that she didn’t consider herself one when she took up the post three years ago.
In fact, more Danish women are happy to be wolf whistled than called a feminist, according to the survey. Fully one third say it is acceptable, the highest proportion than in any country other than Nigeria.
Can you believe that women prefer this?
Over this nonsensical consent feminist culture where you have to ask for everything, like hey can I hold your hand, can I touch you? May I kiss you? Can I take off your bra? May I play with your hair? Could I, maybe… ummm you know unzip your pants?
Rilke Andreassen, Professor of Communication Studies at Roskilde University argues that one reason Danes tolerate “low-level sexual harassment” is the belief that what is meant well should be excused.
“We have had a culture where what you say isn’t racist or sexist if you don’t intend it to be”, she explains. “You can grab a woman, but so long as you did it because it was ‘fun’, then culturally we tend to think it’s not that bad.”
This may be part of the reason the debate triggered by the #MeToo movement has played out so differently in Denmark than in Sweden.
Only 4% of men and 8% of women in Denmark questioned in the survey said they had a ‘very favourable’ impression of the #MeToo movement, compared to 16% and 34% in Sweden, and 19% and 24% across all the countries in the survey.
