Indeed. My foreign friends are puzzled, why do you do that it's a mans job... I taught myself to install a natural stone patio, very hard as the stones are not even. Because why not if I have the time. Now I can. My female friend is studying to be an electrician. Because why not.

Naiset painaa ohi miehistä, se alko jo yli kymmenen vuotta sitten, pintakäsittely, muuraus, talorakennus, Etc. likat tekee nopeeta ja tarkkaan, jätkät jääny vähä jälkeen. Käytiin 2013 kahtomassa muurauslinjalla kun 18 vuotias likka pisti pojille luun kurkkuun muurauksessa. Ja sen jäkeen enempi naisia on pyrkiny duuneihin noilta aloilta. Ja hyvä niin että likatkin tekee ja jaksaa tehdä duunia ja ovat ylpetä ammattitaidostaan. Omalla teollisuuspuuseppä luokalla 2013 oli kans 5 naista ja tyttöö ja osasivat hommasa. Alussa vähän arastelivat isompia työstö vehkeitä ja välillä kyselivät neuvoja ja apua, mut lopputulos oli aina hyvä tai kiitettävä. Ja kaikki nykyään duunissa, sen ovat ansainneet.

I liked how he turned it around. Was starting to feel a bit iffy, but then he realised that it all was about himself and his biases and expectations. I work in a factory, and have many female worker comrades. And many of the Finnish truck drivers are female too. And have to admit that Ive never seen female Polish, Estonian or Russian truck driver. Of course my data is very small, not having many of foreign drivers anyway. And I have to add that if you do like to dress to "let everything hang out" is completely OK, but you dont HAVE TO. Thats the key. They say that being progressive means thst boys have to wear dresses and girls have to wear pants. They dont have to, they have an OPTION to do so.

It's partially true. I mean, jealousy of your neighbor's house or car 100% exists in Finland too. But on average I agree that Finns are happy or content with less stuff, less money or less societal status than in some other European countries. I agree that Finnish job culture is more equal than in the UK. While I lived in London all the manual workers such as handymen/builders etc. I saw were working class men.

As I've lived in the UK I recognise what he's talking about when it comes to the girls and women dress code (so to speak) especially in night life. For the average or working class women in the UK (majority in the UK I guess?) the "chav" makeup style is still popular. It includes huge ear hoops, lots of mascara, eyeliner, and in bars the girls really dress more revealing than in Finland. I'm not judging them, it's just different.

Yeah, I don't think the problem is what some women, or people in general, do - to each their own, really. The problem is if we try to force people to conform, based on their sex, gender, birthplace, family etc. all the things you were just born into. Saying all women need to be feminine or all men masculine, or all feminine or masculine people need to do this thing and behave like this is exactly this old terrible way of running a society. You'll have much happier people, if you nurture them and give them the opportunity to do what they were innately born to do.

This is sad, I am Finnish and a woman living in England. I have had interesting conversations with my mother-in-law who described how women took over most of the work during the war. The difference between Finnish women and lovely British women is that after the war the British women went back home to look after threir men and the Finnish women retaineded an independent role in the work market. The generation of the women in the UK after the war saw it as righg and proper to leavf the job market to men. This is a broad generalisation of course because many women in the UK had to continue to work for financial reasons, maybe part time, but the hubby ruled the roost!

Actually I have noticed that many finnish women might take painting as a job, but still prosentually it is actually more so women going into the care-fields etc. in northern countries where is propably most freedom to choose what to do. So it isn't in that sense Exactly true even tho I do think finnish women in regular are way more open to just do things independently. Like say my mother is closing in on 60 soon and my father is not on the best physical condition and somewhat older, so she just the otherday chopped like her size of pile of wood with an axe. That's nothing abnormal.

Problem with these "opinion" videos is, that it is just one opinion. Finnish youth has a LOT of mental issues, and they are related to anxiety or how you are seen by other people. Yes, in certain social issues we do not care at all what other people think, but in some cases we care too much (compared to other countries). And social media doesn't help. Also, don't worry about Sodankylä getting crowded. At times, there might be people moving to Lapland but they usually stay for a year or two. Our population is small, and Lapland is not that attractive, since we have smaller villages also in the south. And the weather is worse in Sodankylä than in the south. Totally agree with your point about masculine and feminine. Another topic, but I think if people were not so mesmerized with those attributes, there would be LESS transpeople. Like, you can be a man and do feminine stuff etc.

It's interesting. I'm technically fourth generation Helsinki one side, Karelian the other. Most of the time in the city (and not moving out), summers on dairy farm in Eastern Finland. We can deal with our shit just fine, I'm in a male dominated industry myself (engineering) and my generation is very much fine with it. The ~50 seniors are the ones I struggle with. Our corner of the town has been quiet until my adulthood when more buildings started popping out. It's a general change we'll need to adjust to. To add to others. I'm tall in many European countries and very average in Finland. We're relatively tall, even if not on whole world scale.

As a small country during war time we needed everybody. And that is probably one of the reason's men and women never thought that there are men's work or women's. We are equal. Well of course we have problems too but I feel very lucky to be finish woman. I can do what I want to do. When I was young child or teen my dad wanted to stay home with us. But men got better pay than women so he couldn't do that. And that was 80's. My dad cook's, clean's and did some our clothing and did play with us. And my mom likes to built computer's and loves to built furniture too. I'm lucky to have parent's that can do everything and don't care if It's men's or woman's work😊❤.

The position of Finnish women began to develop early. Before independence under the Russian Empire, in 1906 Finland's national assembly, Eduskunta in Finnish, became the first parliament in the world to adopt full gender equality. At the time of the Continuation War, Lotta Svärd was the largest voluntary women's national defense organization in the world, with a maximum of 232,000 members. The Lotta Svärd organization was able to free approximately 25,000 Finnish men for other tasks during the Winter and Continuation War 1939-1944. Proportioned to the current population of the United States, the amount would correspond to 2.3 million masculine jobs in e.g. various factories and such.

It is quite common stereotype in Finland, that people in Helsinki are more snob or something like that, and I think it is somewhat true. Of course it is a stereotype, and there is snobs and all kind of people everywhere, but still everyday culture in Helsinki is somewhat different than in other parts of Finland. People in eastern Finland or Tampere region are often little bit different than avarage helsinkean, in how they carry themselves and how they behave.
