Most people seem to be gender-biased. That means convinced that certain traits are typical for men and women. But often, it's not the traits that are found in science literature.
Here are three anecdotes that I encountered the past couple of days.
Anecdote 1. Last Friday I visited the musical event. It was a non-profit association of people who gathered to perform folk-songs. They were all very good, and after their performance I stayed and had a conversation with one of the singers - a woman. It turned out that we are both Swedish immigrants to Finland.
It also turned out that she was a divorcee, that is, someone with kids who had decided not to remain in the relationship with the person involved in making the children.
She wasn't a full time singer. Professionally, she worked as a social worker (socionom in Swedish). When we went on to talk about human relations, she was very adamant to blame the father of her children for her decision to leave the relationship.
Anecdote 2. Recently, Finnish media reported that some people in Lathi have conspired to harm Finnish politicians, in this case Sanna Marin, the former acting prime minister of Finland (2019-2023) . That is off course a bad thing. Harming people is an act of antisocial behavior.
Anecdote 2. Recently, Finnish media reported that some people in Lathi have conspired to harm Finnish politicians, in this case Sanna Marin, the former acting prime minister of Finland (2019-2023) . That is off course a bad thing. Harming people is an act of antisocial behavior.
But then, the newly appointed Finnish secretary of European affairs, Anders Adlercreutz, took to X/Twitter account, claiming:
"Sanna Marin received unprecedented incense but also mixed opposition. And based on this story, an extraordinary threat.
My own experience and assessment is that men in politics have an easier time in this regard".
We haven't known each other for long, but from day one we have had the habit of discussing various issues. The discussions are often based on viewpoint diversity, but in general, they end in a good spirit.
As we discussed anecdote 2, he put forward the argument that women are more vulnerable to violence, that is, consonant with secretary Adlercreutz. He also put forward that this was typical for domestic or intimate partner violence.
When I asked for proof, he became very emotional and instead of answering the question to support his claim, he started to ask those leading questions starting Don't you think ... and then went on to say things like, men are stronger that women.
In all three cases, people intuitively victimize women, but likely for different reasons.
Sustaining a relationship is not adamant in the western world, this includes relationships with children. But it's important to cooperate with the other parent if one of them decides to leave.
In all three cases, people intuitively victimize women, but likely for different reasons.
- The woman who is no longer part of the relation with the father of her kids, rationalizes over her decision to leave the relationship. There's a strong likelihood that she demanded financial support from the father and the government.
- Secretary Adlercreutz, whose education is architecture, is making a politically correct statement to support his role as a politician, but he likely didn't know what he was talking about.
- My friend unanimously, and unknowingly, followed Secretary Adlercreutz.
Sustaining a relationship is not adamant in the western world, this includes relationships with children. But it's important to cooperate with the other parent if one of them decides to leave.
- women are blaming their spouse for their violence.
- That relational aggressive women manage to isolate children from their child's father (Seltzer and Brandreth, 1994).
- Some men jump in to support these women.
- When accused (asked to take responsibility for their actions), women tend to play the victim card. And if nothing else helps, they may use crying as a tools to get their way.
The singer/social workers blame on the father follows a tradition from single women to motivate financial support from the father and from the government.
Adlercreutz behavior, to play out his support for a fellow politician is of course very good, but his claim that there's an effect of gender, is not supported by science. The opposite is true.
Like in a divorce situation, women are more likely to victimize themselves. Sometimes crying is part of that repertoar. Sanna Marin is one of these women who uses crying as a means to gain support.
In 2019, Sanna Marin replaced Ante Rinne and became acting prime minister of Finland. She was never elected by the people. Rumors say that she was very controlling in her role as a local politician in her home town Tammerfors.
And in early 2020, when the Sars-Cov (2)-pandemic hit the World, Marin's government decided to ignore the experts and decided to lock down Nyland, the county in which the capital of Finland resides.
The consequences: not only did depression and other mental issues soar, Finland also saw an 15 %. increase of suicide.

Later assessments of so-called excess-deaths (överdödlighet in the diagram) showed an equally dismal pattern. Finland outperformed its neighboring country Sweden.

In December 2021, Marin, who had demonstrated a habit of rejecting requests from journalists, now accepted an interview in the left-leaning tabloid the Guardian, claiming:

Later, when caught twerking and drinking, socializing with the flour gang (mjölgänget) and what appeared to be extra-marital encounters, Marin used the oldest trick in the book - crying. And it happened during a public event where she claimed she had never taken one day off from work. That implies that all her scandals happened during work hours!
After she and her party lost the Finnish election to parliament, Marin had a change of hart concerning her role as the leader for Finlands social democrats. She announced that she would step down from the role as party leader, but remaining in the parliament.
Then she has got an offer from fellow socialist and former prime minister of Britain, Tony Blair, to become a lobbyist for his Institute. That also has caused criticism.

Now media has change its focus to a claimed conspiracy to attack Finnish politicians in general, and Marin was mentioned in that context. This passage in the article is interesting

A similar thing happened in Sweden prior to the 2022 election. During something called Almedalsveckan, an annual political event on the island of Gotland, a psychiatrist was murdered by one of her former patients. A tragedy for the victim, her relatives, and also for society. Sweden has traditionally been a place with few incidents of antisocial behavior.
It was later claimed that the perpetrator had conspired to attack politicians in general.
Annie Lööf, then party leader for Centerpartiet, projecting a continuation in that role as the wing-woman for what she thought would be the future prime minister - social democrat, Magdalena Andersson, took the chance to use victim-hood.
After she had decided to part ways with the former party-coalition known as the Allians (Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna, and Liberalerna), the support for her and her party plummeted. One consequence of that was that she took a stance support of unlimited support for migration.

After she had decided to part ways with the former party-coalition known as the Allians (Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna, and Liberalerna), the support for her and her party plummeted. One consequence of that was that she took a stance support of unlimited support for migration.
But history shows that migration is always a challenge due to risk of cultural clashes. And because Sweden have had a high influx of migrants from religious autocracies, cultural clashes has been more common. Rape has been more common, especially on young women and even children.
In parallel to the murder at Gotland, a 10-year old girl was raped and stabbed by a boy aged 15-19 years of age.
The boy was a migrant from east Africa, and the mother had claimed he was 13 years old. By doing that, she could claim social benefits. And thus, the supposedly boy was placed in school with kids of similar age.
Soon reports came that the boy was acting in an antisocial way towards other [much younger] kids. But the reports were ignored by the school administration and bureaucrats and politicians in general.
And one day the worst thing happened, the boy forced the little girl out in a nearby forest were he raped and stabbed her. The little girl's name is Luna, she is paralyzed and cannot speak. She will spend the rest of her life in a wheel chair.
On request on the interactive media platform Twitter (now X), Lööf was asked to show compassion for Luna. Lööf ignored the request. Instead she started to promote herself as a victim of a imaginary terrorist attack, based on the claim that the person who murdered his psychiatrist, also conspired to attack politicians in general. As far as it is known, Lööf was the only politician who used that claim. But contrary to Luna, Lööf was unharmed.
The other leftist parties joined forces with Lööf, claiming that this should be coined a terrorist attack.
A prosecutor submitted to the politicians wish, and prosecuted the murderer for acts of terrorism.
This didn't help Lööf who had announced plans to rule the country together with the Social democrats. Suddenly, she announced her resignation (rumors say she was fired.)
In a little town in Sweden, Luna is still in her wheel-chair, and as far as is known, her perpetrator is out on the street.
Acting prime minister Marin also had the ambition to be elected, but failed to get enough of the Finnish peoples votes; she lost the election is very tight race.
Staying in office as the leader of the opposition wasn't for Marin who announced her decision to resign as leader for the Finnish social democrats. But she would remain a member of the Finnish parliament.
Then Marin accepted an offer from fellow socialist Tony Blair to join his Institute as a lobbying (they call it advisor).
Like Lööf, Marin expressed lack of compassion - has shown no sign of willingness to take responsibility for her actions, that according to public statistics led to an increase of depression, suicide, and excess-deaths among the Finnish people. Instead, victimization seem to be her way of dealing with criticism. Tragically, fellow politician Anders Adlercreutz supported Marin's victimization of herself.
In the third anecdote, we discussed Marin's legacy, the effect of the centralized decision to shut down the county of Nyland which led to an increase of depression, suicide, and excess deaths, and her way of dealing with criticism.
I was accused of downplaying women's vulnerability, which led to a discussion about domestic or intimate partner violence.
Among neo-marxists, or feminists, a discourse is traded where arguments like men's vs. women's physical strength plays an important part.
In Sweden during the 1990s, a feminist sociologist, Dr Eva Lundgren, together with a gynecologist, Dr Gun Heimer, interviewed women, but not men, and then concluded that women are typical victims of intimate partner violence (Lundgren et al. 2001).
In 2005, the administrative management at Uppsala university got suspicious and launched an investigation which showed Dr. Lundgren's conclusions were inconsistent with the underlying raw data.
In a later interview, Dr Lundgren claimed that she had been banned from teaching and supervising on topics concerning gender, power, and violence.
Paradoxically, from the 1970s and forward, there has been extensive research on intimate partner violence. And the only validated instrument to assess Intimate Partner Violence has been published and updated prior to Lundgren et al's pilot study (Straus, 1979; Straus et al. 1996).
Long story short, this is the distribution of intimate partner violence:
(Archer,2000, 2004; Bergkvist, 2002; Bates, Graham-Kevan och Archer , 2014; Bates och Graham-Kevan, 2016; Bates, 2018; Bates, Kaye, Pennington och Hamlin, 2019; Crick och Grotpeter, 1995; Thornton et al. 2012).
When women are crying, the tears include feromons that turn off mens sexual drive and trigger compassion (Gelstein et al. 2011).

Long story short, this is the distribution of intimate partner violence:
- Physical domestic violence - women account for slightly more than half of incidence and injuries.
- Lethal domestic violence - equally unlikely (0.000005) to affect children, men and women.
- Psychological violence, including something called relational aggressiveness - is typically a female phenomena.
- Typical age: 20-30 years.
(Archer,2000, 2004; Bergkvist, 2002; Bates, Graham-Kevan och Archer , 2014; Bates och Graham-Kevan, 2016; Bates, 2018; Bates, Kaye, Pennington och Hamlin, 2019; Crick och Grotpeter, 1995; Thornton et al. 2012).
When women are crying, the tears include feromons that turn off mens sexual drive and trigger compassion (Gelstein et al. 2011).
An important aspect to take into account is that there's no obvious effect of motherhood, but of fatherhood on children's emotional and social adjustment, as well as cognitive development, starting from 3 month old kids. Kids who are forced to live only with their mother more often develop antisocial behavior (Calkins och Keane, 2009; Macrae, 2021; Moffitt et al. 2001; Rollè et al. 2019; Sethna et al. 2017; Vieno et al 2009. 2014; Österberg, 2004).
For most people that makes sense. But by tradition, women have ruled the home as long as humans been around. This is where gender-bias kicks in; most people tend to look way when women are violence.
In April of 2022, a police officer working at the Helsingfors Police department claimed that Finnish women's relational aggressiveness was their biggest problem.
And this is what Finnish media reports about it.
In 2022, media reported the following:
a mother living in Helsingfors murdered her 12-year-old son. She was taken to a shelter that was run by the social service. That implies that the social workers consider her a victim of something (think of feminist Lundgren and Heimer). In reality, she was the perpetrator of violence. And as it seems, the staff at the social service knew this.
a mother living in Borgå, a neighboring town of Helsingfors, tried to murder her five years son. And she didn't stop despite the police broke into the apartment. Again, the mother was known by the social service who choose not to take action.
a mother living in Åland was sentenced to life in prison for murdering the man she had a child with. The woman was known by the authorities, but they choose not to take action.
The ministry of Education and culture announced that Finnish kids do not manage reading comprehension and numeracy. Remember, Emotional adjustment and cognitive development is attributed to an emotional relation to the father (Österberg, 2004; Rolle et al. 2019; Sethna et al. 2017).
The minister of education, Li Andersson, took to media to announce that Finnish boys drop out of school- Again, Emotional adjustment and cognitive development is attributed to an emotional relation to the father (Österberg, 2004; Rolle et al. 2019; Sethna et al. 2017).
Finnish child commissary announced that 20% of Finnish children and young people born 1997 or later, has mental issues. Emotional adjustment is attributed to an emotional relation to the father (Österberg, 2004).
And Finnish media repeatedly report on gang riots. As part of that is the conspiracy thinking, including attacking Finnish politicians.

And Finnish media repeatedly report on gang riots. As part of that is the conspiracy thinking, including attacking Finnish politicians.
According to science, the Finnish kids who fails school one way or the other, and join gangs and conspire to attack politicians, are most likely brought up by a single-mother who had acted violently against their father, the very person who will guarantee these children's emotional and social adjustment and cognitive development, and then played the victim-card to get financial support, from the father and from the government.
On May 30, I did a lecture for a Finnish organization of parents, mostly men, who suffered from women's domestic violence (Österberg, 2023).
In conclusion. The likelihood that Finnish politicians in general and female politicians in particular are threatened by conspiracies is very small. It seems to be a tactic to avoid criticism and to try to save the career. Rather, based on science and information from Helsingfors police department, Finnish men and children are at risk of suffering from women's domestic violence.
The consequences of that latter is already manifested in the collapse of the Finnish educational system and the many gang-riots and conspiracies Finnish media is reporting about.
