4. The nerve of that woman, to say the Nordic model is "failed and extremely dangerous"

as indigenous women are exploited, abused, murdered, trafficked and sold abroad... including here in the US.

Anyway, I'm reminded of a quote by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie:

Culture does not make people; people make culture. So if it is in fact true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we must make it our culture.

This is why I hope Canada will follow the same path that Sweden, Iceland, Norway and France have started. The full humanity of women cannot be recognized while the commodification of women's bodies is legitimized by the state.
