Sweden’s #softgirls trend

In Sweden, a trend of women embracing traditional roles as housewives, known as 'softgirls,' is gaining traction. This movement reflects a desire for a more balanced life, away from the pressures of careers. The cultural shift has sparked intense debates about feminism and gender equality, revealing a rift in political identities among young people. As financial concerns overshadow traditional feminist ideals, the implications for women's workforce participation and societal dynamics are profound, particularly in a country renowned for its progressive values.
