Authoritarian Cultures Clash:
[1]Coercive egalitarianism versus traditional Islam:
Swedish home furnishings giant IKEA is guilty of sex discrimination
by showing only men putting together furniture in its instruction
manuals, Norway's prime minister says.
IKEA, which has more than 200 stores in 32 nations, fears it might
offend Muslims by depicting women assembling everything from
cupboards to beds. Its manuals show only men or cartoon figures
whose sex is unclear.
