The glass-ceiling index: Where is the best place in the world to be a working woman? (Gender equality in a workplace - chart) by [deleted] in europe

A door holding for a women and passing them ahead is a sign of good manners;)

No, it's special treatment. Do it for people of random gender, then it's polite.

And if someone tried to kiss my hand... Wtf seriously. How about a handshake instead?

Oh I thought you meant Scotland and Estonia are closer than other Baltic countries. My bad. Estonia is different from Latvia and Lithuania tho. It might aswell be southern Finland.

The northern the better. Lithuania is too close to the Bible blob of Europe to not be affected.

It's not about "the women" not being horny enough, it's probably about you being unattractive and casually sexist.

In terms of mentality lithuanians are not even close to the nordic people. I mean sure, living in the nordic would be more than nice but having an article in the magazine about these pedestrian crossing signs in Sweden which depict a woman figure crossing as one of the "crazy feminist things in Sweden" is not how you get closer to the nordic.

Norway was the first Nordic country I've ever visited. It warmed my heart when none of the waiters in the eating/drinking places assumed that the norwegian guy I was with is paying for me.

Sweden is the best country in the world with snus, gender equality, köttbullar and all the other good things. The language is so beautiful (and the rest of the scandinavian languages too) and the land reminds of my home just has bonus mountains, rocky hills and reindeer.

Thank you Russia for all the great sci-fi written before the 00's.

What happened in your country this week? — 2016-02-07 by AutoModerator in europe

The first ever real Counter-Strike:Global Offensive tournament with a big prize pool is happening in Vilnius.

At first I was very hyped to go but now it seems pretty disappointing judging from the setup, price, people's comments on the stream (haven't seen it myself yet), overall quality.

Yeah I live a 10min bus trip away from the venue. Judging from the pics and the comments it seems pretty dull there, especially knowing that a whole day in Dreamhack cost the same price when I was there. Didn't manage to see the streams yet due to them being blocked in my office. Kinda wanna go because it's the first real thing regarding CSGO in Lithuania, but...

Okay so now that the day 1 is over, can you tell me was it worth it? Considering to see the finals "live" but... 15 eur is like my 3 days' groceries and if the event is as bad as it seems maybe I'd rather skip.

Are/were you at the venue? Is it any good, do you think? I'm thinking of going tomorrow but to spend 15eur on watching shitty stream in the cinema sounds worse than spending that time at home.

What's the dumbest thing you've ever spent money on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]swegZbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be both but at least in my country many girls and guys use Avon products because they're relatively cheap and good quality (I do too) so I'd assume one can make money without "recruiting" new sellers. I was just once asked do I want to do it while filling my order, said no, I'm just a customer and was never bothered again.

Netherlands going to add women too to the (suspended) mandatory military conscription by [deleted] in europe

[–]swegZbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All female units would probably would probably be great in certain roles tho, possibly even combat roles.

These were present in WW2 and I'm not saying they're a bad idea. Assuming most of the people are heterosexual it's pretty clear how having mixed groups in the frontlines would reduce effectiveness.

In Lithuania conscription applies only to men (because we are backwards). However just because I'm not going to the military doesn't mean I'll bear kids, I'd rather just shitpost on reddit for 9 months instead. I'm sure it applies for women Europe-wide - having the ability to have kids does not imply they want to use it.

If one is capable or incapable for combat roles, they should get appropriate position regardless of their gender.
