After criticism now replace the bakery name of “girl semlan” – Swedish Radio

After criticism now replace the bakery name of "girl semlan" – Swedish Radio

updated. “In order to be able to eat them in good conscience,” says the bakery’s CEO on the smaller semlan they chose to call “girl bun”. But after the protests, now replacing the bakery name of the semla.

On a bakery in Skåne, they have sold a cream bun that is less and cheaper than their usual buns. The bakery chose to call it “Girl Semla” and one of the guests responded.

– Should we not get to enjoy without getting a bad conscience? I think it is a good example of how man without malice still oppresses women. It tells us what we should like to eat, says the person who wants to be anonymous in an interview with Sydsvenskan.



“Why not just mini bun?”

The person who responded to the semla also asked if it could only have been called “little semlan” or “mini-bun”.

– I understand the thing and they feel certain that it is for fun. But for me it is not fun. It helps of course only to dieting craze, eating disorders and outdated gender norms, said the person, and continues:

– It is important that we adults have to think and rethink the prejudices that exist in society and what effects they have. I do not want my children to see this. Adults should not set up rules for how girls or guys will be or what they should eat. Children should well learn what to eat based on hunger and health, not because of gender.



Renames

The bakery CEO wrote a response to Sydsvenskan via text:

“Yes, we are selling girl rolls! It’s because they are smaller than the standard so as to be able to eat them in good conscience. Some feminists do not like it but Overall, only positive. “

But late Friday evening, the bakery to rename the semla. On Facebook, writes the bakery, “thought the name was never to call or blame, which of course would be contradictory when running a bakery. But I will, of course, to me of your well-founded arguments and ask your pardon. As of tomorrow’s our little semla mini bun. “
