Published June 19, Yes, Iceland is one of the best places on the planet to have a pussy. The gender inequality index is used by the United Nations Development Program as a way to measure the health of a society when it comes to things like reproductive health services, empowerment, and access to the labour market… There are a whole bunch of indices like this that aim to categorize, measure, and rank developmental progress over time. When applied to nations, Iceland kicks ass every time. Safe to say that on a global scale, Iceland is way ahead of the game when it comes to treating women like people. Bearing in mind that I come from a country of transvaginal ultrasounds , legitimate rape , victim-blaming, and an equal pay amendment that has been shelved so often my grandmother burned her bra fighting for the damned thing when she was my age…anything above a burqa on the whole gender equality spectrum can sometimes feel like moving to a post-feminist utopia.
