　　【点评】
　　我们知道瑞典是一个男女平等意识非常强的国家，这篇文章对这种平等政策带来的问题，展开了讨论。
　　瑞典特殊的政治配额制度让女性在政坛占据一定的位置，但是在职场上，瑞典高职位女性的数量却少于美国。而原因在于瑞典16个月的带薪产假及允许兼职的政策，会造成女性的职业生涯出现一段停滞期。也正是这样的原因，让很多企业在雇佣全职女性员工的时候，保持谨慎。
　　尽管有这样的问题存在，瑞典仍是全球最具活力和创新力的经济体之一，民众的幸福指数非常高。瑞典在消除性别歧视上做了很多努力，但是歧视依然是存在的。面对这种情况，瑞典的立法机构也在采取一系列的措施。
　　作者提出，不希望瑞典通过以下的方式解决问题，比如禁用具有性别意义的称呼，加强女性在政坛配额，以及把女性对家庭的依恋也当做是一种性别歧视，因为实际上，大多数的妈妈不想成为精英，而瑞典现行的政策给了她们过自己想过的生活的机会。
　　文章的思路还是比较清晰的，选项的信号词也比较明显，比较容易定位，整体难度不大。
