Hi everyone!
Thought it would be suitable to post this thread today. I assume there's a number of others like it, but my Danish is still very modest, so...
Being a driving factor in my family's decision to move to Denmark, and also being a father to a girl, equal rights were a big factor in why we chose Denmark as a place we'd like to move to. Having seen what being pregnant meant for my wife (having to stick to a horrible job just cause she was guaranteed she wouldn't be laid off for taking her maternity leave), it's a matter I feel for on a very personal level.
So in hopes of learning more about Denmark before we manage to move, I'd like to know how equal rights and opportunities function in real world in Denmark? I know Denmark's been in the company of countries that have full women's rights for a long time now (currently only 14 countries I believe), but I think it's this very sub I've stumbled upon a post a few months ago about a girl who finished a (traditionally male) trade school and then got ridiculed by her colleagues when she started working.
I don't doubt Denmark is on a whole other level compared to Croatia where we are from, but I wonder how the traditional views have really changed over the years and how equal women in Denmark really feel on day to day basis?
Thanks and enjoy your day!

ku27psmNo, it won't happen out of the blue, it's a long process.
Also the jobs you mentioned make up less than 1% of the jobs, the overwhelming majority of jobs are not particularly physically demanding, and even the ones you mentioned should not be so physically demanding that women wouldn't be able to do them.
Also, come on, I've seen brick layers, most of them aren't exactly in good physical shape lol

ku283t8Doesn’t matter if they make up Less than 1%, if you want equal outcome, it should be everywhere, and I think physical skilled work makes up more than 1%.
A long process u say, so women wil get more bone density and muscles to be able to do that work equal to men, if we just treat them the same? Interesting, any evidence to back that up?
