High profile Swedish feminist resigns post amid controversy

Ray writes "Wow! If this is a valid reason for a shelter official to resign (...assigning a characteristic to everybody of a certain gender) , then very soon they'll all be un-womaned, and not just in Sweden:

"After a period of intense criticism and scrutiny, Ireen von Wachenfeldt, chairwoman of women's shelter organisation ROKS, has resigned.

Von Wachenfeldt is a high profile and influential radical feminist, who found herself at the centre of a media storm recently following her appearance in the SVT documentary 'Könskriget' (Battle of the Sexes). In the programme, she appeared to state that "men are animals". But she claimed the comments was taken out of context.'"
