Gender Norms Etiquette in Denmark

Gender equality is the norm in Denmark, so men and women are generally expected to share public space, work, and social responsibilities on equal footing, and it is normal for women to speak up directly and take the lead. Traditional gender roles are not strongly enforced in everyday life, though you may still notice a practical emphasis on shared parental leave, equal pay, and low-key, non-flirtatious behavior in professional settings.
