Swedish Government to Push Ahead With New Sexual Consent Law

From July 1st having sex with someone without their explicit consent in Sweden will be illegal (the law will treat consent as possible either through words or clear actions), with the hope being that more rape and sexual assault cases will be prosecuted as a result.

Sweden's Council on Legislation looked at the government's proposal and questioned whether it was even needed, as much is already covered in existing laws. But Johansson does not agree and thinks the new law will lead to more convictions.

Too many vacancies in the prisons? We can't have that.

"I think the number of crimes solved will increase. Above all through the combination of stronger and broader legislation together with increased support for the victims."

The bill, handed to the Riksdag on Tuesday, will also include a broadening of acts considered criminal in the area. There will no longer be a need to prove intent in rape for example, while the punishment for serious rape will be increased.

If criminal intent is no longer an element, then any sexual intercourse between a man and a woman can turn into a rape case on nothing but an accusation.

Johansson talks about clarity. This is clear as mud. The only safe route is celibacy.

When was the last time a woman ever asked for consent? Number of women this will be used on - zero.

Explicit consent? Bah, that’s not enough for the feminists. No, now they want enthusiastic consent, because if a woman just says “Yes” in a regular tone you’re automatically supposed to think it’s because she’s afraid to say no.

Of course, the definition of what constitutes “enthusiastic consent” is blurry and difficult to pinpoint, precisely so that any consensual sexual act can be convincingly reframed as rape if the woman changes her mind.

At this point, simply living a normal life and having a sex life is becoming dangerous for men in modern society.

Everyone knows that genuine "consent" can't be given due to false consciousness anyway... /s
