Pregnancy insurance? Oo
Don't even think that kind of things exist here..
The state cover all sort of things like that with the regular welfare system here in Norway.
However there is some monthly expenses that girls do have...
I guess someone should suggest subsidizing those to one of the political parties...
As for how to change the attitudes..
Education and active government intervention..
It's not foolproof, but it do help.
Basically, make sure that everyone hear about people from one gender doing well in an area where the other gender is dominating.
And teach people to recognize the small details that is their actual discrimination of the other gender.
Unfortunately the government effort here in Norway where reduced in the middle of the nineties and the gender-roles are starting to slip back a little to the old paths although it's by no means as bad as it used to be..
Something that might be worth trying out though..
There where once a strike on Iceland where the majority of all the women there refused to do anything but sitting together and talk.
No dishwashing, no washing of the clothing, no looking after the kids, no food on the table and no sex.
The male population sure got an awakening at that point in time..
