The goal of equality starts young: "Anti-Sexism Awareness Training" begins in kindergarten, where male toddlers are encouraged to play with dolls, and females with toy tractors. In school, classes in cooking, sewing, metalworking, and woodworking are compulsory for both sexes. All education, including college, is free, and girls routinely outperform boys; in 2005, women made up more than 60 percent of all Swedish college students. All this adds up to more flexible gender roles later: As one Swedish website puts it, "In our country, women drive the buses and men push the baby buggies."
Ebba's live-in boyfriend, who works 9-to-5 for a leather company, also does the household chores. According to one study, Swedish men do more housework than men anywhere else — an average of 24 hours per week...While her boyfriend cleans house, Ebba focuses on being a role model for the 250,000 young female readers of her magazine.... Nevertheless, she's a firm believer that Swedish women don't have to give up their femininity. "I love makeup, I wear pink, and I'm obsessed with handbags," she confesses. "I'm proof that you can be both smart and womanly. I get thousands of letters from girls saying that I inspire them."
"Even so, Sweden's acceptance of women as the aggressors in relationships has its perks: Anna-Maria regularly dates three or four men at a time without social disapproval. And when it comes to sexual freedom, it's hard to imagine a country with more relaxed rules...One-night stands are also common. "You can sleep with whomever — there's no stigma against women who've had many sexual partners," she says. Which is convenient, since Anna-Maria is having too much fun to settle down just yet. In time, she says, she hopes to meet a long-term partner and have a family. Though her requirements might seem unrealistic, Anna-Maria knows what she's looking for: "I couldn't give up my job, so I wouldn't dream of marrying a man who wasn't prepared to stay at home and look after the children on an equal basis with me."
What garbage is this? Femininity is chalked up to loving make-up, wearing pink, and being obsessed with handbags (If this is true than I fail miserably). Sexuality is praised not in the context of marriage but because you can have multiple partners and you don't have to "settle down just yet." Not to mention that little boys are taught to play like little girls and little girls are taught to play like little boys. Where is the recognition that we are created male and female. Yes equal as humans, but MALE and FEMALE! AHHHH! It is outrageous that these are the standards of the world. How we buy into the lies of Satan that what we were created to be is somehow wrong or must be improved upon. The only improvement to our being is Christ. His work, His sacrifice, and His imputed righteousness on our account! I pray that women of Sweden's eyes would be opened to see the glory of God's created order! That they might know true joy in His role for their lives. This is why there must be godly women in the church who are willing to teach the younger women what is good....
"...and so train the young women to love their husband and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." Titus 2:4-5
"For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman from man." 1 Corinthians 11:8-9
"Then the LORD God said, "it is not goof that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him...So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brough her to the man." Genesis 2:18,21-22

I'm so annoyed and disgusted... can you tell??

Garbage is right. It's so sad that they are proud of defying God's view of men, women, marriage, purity.
