Gudrun Schyman, a member of the municipal council in Simrishamn, former leader of Vänsterpartiet, and co-founder of Feministiskt Initiative, held a lecture called "Being Human in an Inhuman Time".
Schyman began by presenting her political background, which started in various popular movements and later led her into party politics. She explained why she left Vänsterpartiet due to the party's reluctance to identify as feminist, and subsequently founded Feministiskt Initiativ to bring the patriarchy to the fore.
During the lecture, Schyman illustrated the gender power structure, which she argues permeates both class society and mainstream society. She explained the connection between these conflicts as power and control maintained through the threat and the exercise of violence. Furthermore, she linked this to global militarization and the climate crisis, and how these conflicts are interconnected with the patriarchal society.
