Kajsa Ekis Ekman

Kajsa Ekis Ekman (born in 1980) is a Swedish author, journalist, lectuer and debater, also published in English, French and Spanish.

[8][9][10] In addition to her writing, Ekman has lectured internationally on women's issues and capitalism and has been invited as a debater by TV-channels in several countries.

[12] During an open house at the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, she criticised the paper's lack of appeal to young people.

[13] Journalist Viggo Cavling, editor of the newspaper's supplement DN på stan, encouraged her to write and submit something herself.

[16] In recent years, Ekman has been invited as a lecturer on How the US control The European mind and the US role in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

[28] Skulden was reviewed in Sweden's major daily Dagens Nyheter by Andres Lokko, who stated that "Kajsa Ekis Ekman is efficient and pedagogical.

[31] Ekman's book On the Meaning of Sex: Thoughts about the New Definition of Woman, which addresses what she refers to as the new understanding of gender spurred a major controversy with both support and claims.

[32] Maria Sveland described it as "one of the year's most important books" in Dagens Nyheter, and it has been translated into English, German, Spanish, French and Italian.

[1][34]In 2020 Ekman published the book On the Meaning of Sex: Thoughts about the New Definition of Woman, where she argues that the Swedish encyclopedia Nationalencyklopedin defines gender as "...a word that is used to distinguish individuals of animals, plants and other organisms depending on what kind of gametes they have".

"[38] In 2022 she appeared alongside prominent anti-trans activists Posie Parker and WDI founder Heather Brunskell-Evans, in an event focused on surrogacy.

[39] Ekman argues that the perception of gender has shifted from being biological to being experiential, and that this risks undermining the issue of women's rights.

[42] In addition to addressing ethical questions related to medical treatment of minors, the article discusses existing and potential negative effects of the new definition of gender.

[43] Ekman's 2018 article about the transition of gender from a reproductive function to an identity sparked a heated debate in the Swedish media.

The inspiration came from activists in Gothenburg who put up local politicians' homes for sale on online realtor site Hemnet after the city started selling properties from the public housing stock.

Ekman followed up by posting books that she guessed the chairman of the municipal board in Nacka was reading since he put the operation of libraries out for tender.

In her speech, she explains that she sees the past thirty years as a right-wing offensive, where capitalists have sought to recover the lost profits of the oil crisis through three strategies.

First, by privatizing and infiltrating the welfare sector, second, by engaging in banking and speculative activities to a greater extent, and third, by lowering wages and/or relocating to low-wage countries.

She has criticized, among other things, why work-related accidents involving workers do not receive any attention in the media, as in this article from 2020: "There are no online threads where hobby detectives try to figure out what happened.

Her contract was terminated with immediate effect in April 2022 after she wrote an article about the Ukrainian newspaper The Kyiv Independent, in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022.

The article focuses on the newspaper's financing, which Ekman argues comes from the European Endowment for Democracy and the Canadian government.

[72][73] After the summer of 2022, the chairman of the board of the syndicalist magazine Arbetaren, Thomas Karlsson, announced that he had appointed Ekman, after only three days on the job, as the acting editor-in-chief for a year.

[76] The new board terminated the agreement with Ekman, which she refused to accept, citing Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS) among other reasons.

[77][78] She won the lawsuit, the court found the contract breach unlawful, and Arbetaren had to compensate for lost income for the full year and damage.

One of the points is that workers spend a significant part of their lives at work, but it is rarely mentioned on social media or other interaction creating a lack of knowledge about each other's everyday experiences.
