I LOVE THIS

I went to http://www.sweden.se/ just recently and found a very interesting article about Sweden and gender pedagogy (one of 'my' fields at the university back home). I think this is great:

A blue cup for her and a pink cup for him — does that sound weird? Not for Swedish children. Gender pedagogy at pre-school level puts everyone on an equal footing. Pink, green, yellow or blue? Any color will do when no attention is paid to gender.

Gender pedagogy is increasingly common in Swedish pre-schools. The aim is for children to have the same opportunities in life, regardless of whether they are male or female. How? By working against gender stereotypes and assigned roles. In 1998, Swedish pre-schools got their first curriculum. One of the goals is to work for equality between the sexes by using a pedagogy that allows each child to develop into a unique individual. The basic idea is to free children from the expectations and demands society has traditionally put on girls and boys.
