I'm very annoyed by the feminist crowd being outraged that Danius is leaving. They're getting outraged over optics, not substance. Because no one knows the substance. Because it's secret.

Essentially the Academy wanted Danius to step down as secretary because she showed poor leadership. And they wanted Frostenson to be excluded because she's the partner of an organization that the Academy has been giving grants, meaning a big conflict of interest.
However, there's a big #metoo scandal with Frostenson's husband, so feminists are complaining and saying that "a man was a pig and two women got fired for it" which is a dishonest and false narrative.

The Swedish Academy does not reward the Nobel Peace Prize. I agree that the Peace Prize lost a lot of credibility after Obama, but that's completely off topic.

Frostenson isn't a dude, and yeah, she's corrupt. People were protesting her leaving. Their narrative is that two women are punished for something a man did, which isn't accurate. Frostenson leaves because her corruption was exposed. Danius leaves because she showed really poor leadership during a crisis. Arnault is still under criminal investigation.

Ohhhh, I see what's happening now. I somehow misread and thought Frostenson was Darius' husband >_> My bad, thanks for clearing it up.
