Army castrates heraldic lion
Protests from female soldiers have led to the Swedish military removing the penis of a heraldic lion depicted on the Nordic Battlegroup’s coat of arms.
The armed forces agreed to emasculate the lion after a group of women from the rapid reaction force lodged a complaint to the European Court of Justice, Göteborgs-Posten reports.
What for? It’s not the case for women that join the military, but that’s what certain kinds of civilian women that hang around military bases are looking for.
