A feminist Swedish group put fire to 100,000 kronor, or $13,000, at a barbeque. This radical protest against unequal pay for men and women caused quite a stir last week. The money represented the gap of money earned per minute between women and men in Sweden.
Though the money was donated by an advertising agency, was this the best way to make a stand against gender equality in the workplace? Would there have been a better way to use the donated money? Tell us what you think.
