Why are there very high levels of feminism in Canada, Australia but not US, UK?

Biker

If you watch public debates in these countries, you'll see that feminism is embraced in the first 2 but not as much in the latter 2, even when culturally they're very similar.

I think I know why. Its because affirmative action and other such feminist entitlements are luxuries that only 'privileged' countries can have.

Canada & Australia are obviously privileged because they have a huge country with very little people. If UK tries to restrict their economy with the same pro-women/poor/elderly policies, they'd go bust as they're already becoming.
@Yacofee- that's a biased statistic from a feminist website. These are the real statistics from credible sources

However, it is true that life is easier in Nordic countries, CA and AU compared to US, UK, Germany or Japan. Its common sense, when you have lots of natural resources you can afford to restrict your human resource.

That's why I called them privileged.

Answer
Feminism is in a correlative relation with how leftist-oriented a country is; hence feminism in Scandinavian countries > AU and CA > UK and USA.

So the question is why are CA and AU more generally leftist and the UK and USA more centrist and rightist. I think it's actually impossible to answer that question. It could have gone either way. It's a result of circumstances and even coincidences that had happened at different points in history.


Edit:
Leftist-leaning countries give women more privilieges over men, though self-entitled princesses see this as something normal, ie. "treating women with more respect"; centrist countries are the ones that are egalitarian - Austria, Switzerland.

Iceland bankrupted a few years ago. 'Nuff said.
Leftism has shown itself for what it's worth in the past 60 years or so; only a fool can advocate for it.

What is the name of this Monty Python skit?

I LOVE CHE

It features two men and one guy introduces his name as some made up word, and says thats how its pronounced. all the while this man is wearing glasses and a very large nose.

Answer
I think that's "Raymond Luxury Yacht (pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove)" and he's in a couple of episodes.
