Further to the (many) edits today by BCseawalker regarding the organisation of the same name in Canada, I have changed the name of this article to Feminist Initiative (Sweden), and will now set up a disambiguation page.--Mais oui! 17:50, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation page

Following the (irrate?) contributions of user:BCseawalker today, I have set up a disambiguation page at Feminist Initiative. For the record, here are today's edits by BCseawalker to this (Swedish) page, which I subsequently removed:

At very top of article: "The words feminist initiative are used in the names of three political parties, on two different continents. In Sweden, it is simply the Feminist Initiative, while in Canada there is the FemINist INitiative of BC and its national equivalent the FemINist INitiative of Canada. The philosophies, values and goals of the Swedish and Canadian parties differ as widely as the expanse of the Atlantic ocean. The following information is on the Swedish party."

Under "See also" heading: "== See also == - + FemINist INitiative of BC, a moderate feminist political party that was registered in June 2005, in the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its national equivalent, the FemINist INitiative of Canada. Although the Swedish and Canadian models share the same name, their philosophies, values and goals differ substantially. Whereas the Swedish group adopts radical feminism, the Canadians take a moderate, inclusive approach." They had also:

  • removed the list of members of the Executive Committee,
  • made links to the two Canadian organisations under "External Links",
  • and entered the Swedish article under the Canadian Politics category.

[edit] Unfortunate consequences of the acronyms Fi and F!

User:Alarm removed the following passage I had submitted on 11 Sept 05, saying "Removing "unfortunate consequences". While factually correct, unless the implicit claim that this is a relevant problem is sourced, this is original research":

Removed section: "== Unfortunate consequences of the acronyms Fi and F! == The acronym F! or Fi has unfortunate linguistic similarities to two vulgarisms in the Swedish language: #in the Swedish language the possessive form of Fi is Fis (eg. "Fis styrelse" is "Fi's Executive Committee"; Swedish does not use an apostrophe for possesives). Fis is the Swedish word for fart (flatulence). #the term fy fan has the same power to strongly offend Swedish-speakers as the four-letter, expletive F-word in the English language (although it does not refer to the same thing, translating as approximately yuck devil). Fy fan is often simply contracted to fy in the media, or where circumstances do not permit usage of the full obscenity. Fy (meaning yuck) sounds similar enough to the acronym Fi to allow room for schoolboy humour, and the logotype F! is open to similar visual jokes.

I accept the removal of the section, for now. But I would like to point out that this was not "original research". It was actually pointed out to me by a (female) Swedish voter, who used it as a tool to mock the party. Admittedly, this is fairly weak, oral evidence, but I am sure she was not the only Swede, out of 9 million people, to notice these linguistic connections. The section should be re-inserted, and added to the sv: wiki article and others, once we have documented evidence of the phenomenon, for example newspaper articles or satirical cartoons.--Mais oui! 19:12, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Fi is also, in the Swedish military, short-form for "fiende" which is Swedish for "enemy". As the party has a quite radical feminist profile, this may for some people seem to be a correct name for their relation to men. --212.214.78.161 18:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Note that "fy" is not an expletive in itself, but could roughly be translated to "shame on you" or "phooey". 惑乱 分からん 23:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

The information on Swedish is correct, btw, and although fis might not be the Swedish word for fart, it is still a very common word. It might be considered a minor problem not worth noting, though. 惑乱 分からん 23:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I would just to also point out that "fy fan" is not in any way as explicit as the English word "fuck". Also, the word "fy" alone is usually not a contraction of "fy fan". In any case, the pronounciation of "fy" and "Fi" are destinct enough to only make people TRYING to hear one in the other able to do so. 193.44.6.146 (talk) 15:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Könsmaktsordning

The foundation of the party's policy platform is an academic theory called könsmaktsordning (literal translation: Gender Power Hierarchy), a term used within Swedish radical feminism; and the belief that women are systematically suppressed.

I find this very misleading. (1) Könsmaktsordning is not a term/concept particular to or exclusively used by radical feminism. I'm fairly certain that among others even the UN uses it. (2) I do not think like the description of könsmaktsordning as an academic theory. Firstly, I do not see why describing it as academic is necessary, secondly I think describing it as a theory is wrong. I would rather label it a concept, but I'm not 100% certain.

I might try and improve on it later on if I can remember, but anyone who is willing to try is welcome. --kissekatt 02:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rosenberg plagiarism

Wikipedia article:

"The accusation against Tiina Rosenberg goes back to a review of her book "Byxbegär" ('Wearing the trousers') written by professor emeritus Ingeborg Nordin Hennel in 2000. Hennel showed that Rosenberg had nearly verbatim copied several passages from a book written by two other academics without providing sufficient references or marking the passages as quotations"

The Local article:

"The accusations against Tiina Rosenberg go back to a book review written by professor emeritus Ingeborg Nordin Hennel in 2000. Hennel showed that Rosenberg had included word for word a passage from a book written by two other academics in her own work, "Byxbegär" ('Wearing the trousers') and failed to provide a reference."

Is this a troll?

Anyway, I don't know so much about this, but after reading something briefly about it, it seems that the part about references missing is either wrong or disputed. Hence NPOV tag

[edit] Random joke by anonymous user

Great sense of humour: "Defecation to the Fi"

[edit] Radical Feminism

Does this party fall under Radical Feminism? The article isnt very clear on what the party supports but from news articles it would seem they support this radical type of leglisation. 74.137.230.39 00:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think FI is subscribing to the specific theory of Radical Feminism. KEK 02:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Feministiskt initiativ.svg

Image:Feministiskt initiativ.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
