Sweden has been called a peaceful nation for a very long time. However, now it can be called the first feminist government.
According to the Swedish government’s website,”A feminist government ensures that a gender equality perspective is brought into policy-making on a broad front, both nationally and internationally. Women and men must have the same power to shape society and their own lives.”
So, when the Deputy Prime Minister Isabella Lovin signed a new climate law, it was only natural that she would surround herself with seven of her FEMALE staff members. This, of course, started a controversy as many wondered if she was trolling Donald Trump’s all male picture as he signed a series of executive orders.

Social media users praised the all female picture, but during a visit to Iran, the state officials donned head scarves for all women.
Despite the fact that the country’s (Iran) website says that women and men have the same power to shape society, they failed to mention that women still must cover up with a headscarf.
Linde only had two options. She could send all-male Swedish delegates or wear the veils. She chose the latter.

According to Independent Journal Review, a president candidate from France, Marine Le Pen found a third option. Marine has been accused of being heated and offensive and has been dubbed “France’s Trump.”
During a visit to Lebanon, Le Pen was to meet with the country’s Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdel-Latif Derian. According to the report, when she arrived at his office, his aides handed her a headscarf.
Le Pen took a stand and refused to put it on her head. She stated that she would not put that veil on her head because it was a symbol of the oppression of women.

Of course, they threatened that she wouldn’t see the Grand Mufti, but she didn’t care she refused.
The Mufti’s office called her behavior “inappropriate” and stated the veil was only “protocol for women.”
Marine Le Pen said, “I note that when Marine Le Pen refuses to don the headscarf, it is criticized, but when Michelle Obama declined to do it in Saudi Arabia, it was considered admirable.”
