Assume so. It was part of a weekly science news program. The segment was (as I recall) about 45-50 minutes, a French production that the swedish television had bought in, and the “stealing food from women” was the brilliant explanation offered from gender “scientists”. The response from the more sane scientific community (and generally from people interested in gender issues, but not feminists) were devastating. I have tried many times to find the program on the web afterwards, but it seems to have disappeared completly without any trace. (I did see the original broadcast myself, so I know it actually happened for real.)
As a swede I can say that’s not really true when it comes to higher eduction. While you don’t have to pay to attend a lecture at a university (which I believe you also can do in higher institutions in the U.S.), you still have to pay for your materials, and you do have to support to yourself. You do get a smaller subsidy from the government, but most people have to take loans to get through their higher studies and then pay off on these loans until they retire. The “free” stuff is not at all that free, and we do have among the highest, if not the very hightest, taxes in the world. Just to give you an idea, the price of gas is about the double compared to US (over $9 per gallon at the time of writing).
