In addition, some welfare and gender researchers based in the Nordic countries suggest that these states have often been over- privileged when different European societies are being assessed in terms of how far they have achieved gender equality. They argue that such assessments often utilise international comparisons adopting conventional economic, political, educational, and wellbeing measures (e.g. World Economic Forum 2020). By contrast, they suggest that if one takes a broader perspective on well-being incorporating, for instance, social issues associated with bodily integrity or bodily citizenship (Pringle 2016), then some major forms of men's domination still stubbornly persist in the Nordic countries, e.g. business, violence to women, sexual violence to children, the military, academia and religion (Hearn and Pringle 2006; Pringle 2011; Hearn et al. 2018).
