@irincarmon set out to understand what the country most focused on #genderequality might teach the U.S. So she went to Sweden, ranked No. 5 for gender-equality on the most recent World Economic Forum scorecard.

Sweden allocates 480 days per birth, with three months assigned to each parent to encourage #dads to take more. It also outranks the U.S. in women’s “economic participation and ­opportunity” by seven points and in “political empowerment,” which measures women in elected office, by 88 slots. That women still make up only 20% of the U.S. Congress and 0% of the Republicans of the Senate Judiciary Committee was thrown into sharp relief amid the allegations that Supreme Court nominee #BrettKavanaugh. After spending much of the past year reporting on sexual harassment and assault, Carmon arrived in Sweden feeling pretty bleak about men. "As a feminist,” she writes, "I’m supposed to believe that equality is attainable and that men can be partners, but recent revelations and presidential elections have cruelly tested my optimism.” Sweden itself has been having a reckoning with sexual abuses of power, one that has challenged its self-conception as a beacon of gender equality. “When you’re living in the most gender-equal country in the world," says Member of Parliament Birgitta Ohlsson, "people try to sometimes hush down, because it doesn’t fit the image." Maybe it’s no accident that the gut-wrenching truths of #MeToo have come at a time of massive political upheavals, of establishments of all natures being tossed out. What will it take for American women and men to be equal? “If we can’t find out in Sweden," Carmon adds, "who knows where we can?" Read more on TIME.com.
