It seems some of the men living in Sweden are among the planets worst sexual predators, to word it carefully.

Sweden is pushing new legislation that will increase the number of rapes even more. It will be a law of consent and will shift the burden of proof from the victim to the rapist. Unless the rapist can prove consent, he will be sentenced for rape by negligence. Under the new law, having sex with a traffic victim prostitute can be considered "rape", and the burden of proof will be on the john to prove that it is not a traffic victim. (1,2,3)

I live next door, in Norway. Here we talk of the "Swedish condition".

How will this work? If neither party can prove consent, they both rapped each other by negligence? Or does this only apply to Johns?


Blame the man, it's the only way to reach gender equality.


Don’t you mean Jans? ;)


I'm curious, is there any Norwegian commentary on Sweden in English?


Google translate is far from perfect but (except for media clips obviously) it's extremely helpful for getting the gist.


Approximately: No.
