Anna Anka, the Swedish-born wife of legendary cabaret singer Paul Anka, has berated Swedish men for their “tragic” house husbandry ways in her column on opinion site Newsmill.
The proudly American Los Angeles housewife has slammed the men of her homeland for “equality nonsense” which includes changing nappies, preferring instead the American system, where she claims real dads do not iron or do dishes.
Swedish paper, The Local reports that Anka’s outbursts have followed her recent rise to fame as a participant in the latest TV reality show Svenska Hollywoodfruar or “Swedish Hollywood Wives”. She has also suggested that she could become something of a role model for women of Sweden stating that: “In Sweden it is acceptable to let yourself go, as long as you get your man. I feel sorry for Swedish men who marry beautiful women, who then quickly become unattractive, dress sloppily and neglect their husband’s needs”.
Anka has hailed the U.S as a country where “men are men, and women are women”, with housewives living up to their role of beautiful, well dressed companions in return for economic security on the part of the man. “Swedish dads are tragic with all their nappy-changing and equality. A real American man panics if he is alone with a child for more than 20 minutes. American dads do not prepare dinner and do not iron, they work and provide for their families,” Anka went on to add in her tirade against Swedish values.
Mrs Anka also claims that infidelity on the part of a husband is merely a sign of the woman’s inability to keep him sexually satisfied. Her parting shot on her blog urges Swedish women to pursue a path away from the “Jante Land” or motherland with its delusions of grandeur.
“Anka has hailed the U.S as a country where “men are men, and women are women”, with housewives living up to their role of beautiful, well dressed companions in return for economic security on the part of the man.”
I’m sure that will come as a surprise to a lot of American men.
ANNA ANKA IS AMERICAN, by the way who cares from what country people are from, (only idiots)
get a life, you wish you were her.

I love Anna Anka, what a great woman

It will be kind of hard for American man to provide for his now:the way the economy is.
Correction: Anna Anka was not born in Sweden. She was born in Poland and was adopted as a child by a Swedish family.
I think all of the real vikings have left most of the Nordic country. The tough and innovative seem to flee more socialistic control of their lives.Years ago they were hardy traders the ventured the world. Today they sell oil and housewares manufactured in China to the world.I dont think Anakas views truly represent the United States, yet you see very Nordic women in world leadership position.This is unusual because they have more rights than most women of the world.Yes I know a few tough Vikings are left,most of them are elderly women now.Visit the United States before taking on anyones opion.
I am glad that both Norwegians and Sweedes will be presented to this lovely woman in a No/Swe talk show in public TV tomorrow :-)
You really don’t get this is sarcasm?
shame on anna anka,she is a moron,how dare she throw rocks at glass houses,first offf american men do cook diner at times, do help with caring of a child and change diapers,men and women work to provide for their families,how is she,above the rest?shes nothing,i personally have read her article and heard her on you tube barretting pauls fans calling them wimpy and morons and other things,if she can’t stand the ehat get out the kitchen and men do not always cheat because their not satisfied in the bedroom, some men are just that way.She is a real winner paul needs to wake up and see shes not right for him,he’s to nice a guy and real human being to be with a wtch like that.

Finally a woman who says it.
Im a foreing in Iceland , and i must say , its just the same case…cultural differences are so big that makes me think sometimes , where the hell are the vikings?. oh yeah…cleaning the house………
I love iceland though.
Is Anna implying she married a real man? Is Paul Anka anyone’s idea of a macho man?
How about women who marry men who “quickly become unattractive, dress sloppily, and neglect their” wives’ needs.
Anna do you need attention?
The Swedish system seems to work fine for everyone.
Anna stay in America.
