Stimuli – Two one-sided and one neutral two-sided argument on gender equality.

More gender equality	It is still far from gender equality in Norway today. Men dominate in corporate positions of power, there are still big differences in pay between men and women, women take the main responsibility in the family, and women have poorer work opportunities than men. We must continue to strive for more gender equality.
Gender equality gone too far	Gender equality has gone too far in Norway. It is after all natural differences between what men and women are suited for and interested in. Gender quotas also lead to many talented and hardworking men being bypassed in the name of gender equality.
Neutral two-sided argument	We do not have gender equality in Norway, but in some areas, gender equality has gone too far. To some extent, there are differences between what men and women are suited for and interested in. And affirmative action is at the expense of many talented men. Meanwhile, it is increasingly men who earn the most, and there are men who dominate in business. In some areas, we need more equality; in other areas, it is more than enough.
