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.

I recall this is Because their definition is far broader - if it was applied to other countries the number of rapes would increase

I think it's to do with the collection of statistics as well.

They record the rape at the initial reporting to the police, no matter what any later investigation shows, and multiple rapes are counted individually (many countries do not).

This is not saying which approach is correct for recording the numbers, but that you cant simply compare the numbers.

This is a well known trope (especially in less palatable corners of the internet). A quick read of the "Rape in Sweden" [0] wikipedia page explains why these numbers are very high. Each separate relation is counted as a different rape, the definition of rape is broader, and the reporting rate is higher.

For people that lived in Sweden, this claim (that Sweden has some incredible rape problem) is surprising to say the least.

(with that being said, there has been an increase in sexual violence lately, probably correlated with immigration from regions where the rate is higher, but from what I could gather it was not a dramatic increase)
