This is a new Danish political drama that is getting quite a lot of attention in the UK.
Although it's fiction it might give some insights into the Danish psyche and gender roles:

Par for the course. Danish women can't get enough of gender equality (to a player's advantage). It's a total inferiority complex.
The system (via high marginal taxation and generous benefits) is built up around each partner working equally much at the office and at home - in practice it doesn't quite work out like that. The realities of the labor market still mean most women take the lion's share of the 52 weeks joint maternity leave when they give birth. Most men take only a couple.
Danish women also have one of the highest fertility levels in Western Europe, interestingly enough.
