(23,272 posts)So you believe the government gets to strip a woman of her right to control her own authority, to make decisions about their bodies. What would be suitable evidence of a sex crime that supersedes a woman's rights since this is obviously the crux of the matter with Sweden.
Would such evidence include being tied up, or hit with a whip? (BDSM). Or how about strangulation? (erotic asphyxiation). Rough sex? Gentle nudging against your lover's leg with your penis to provoke arousal? How about waking up your lover to make love? (is that really rape? Guess you get to decide, not the woman involved).
Really, why do you get to decide which activity is "rape" and what's "lovemaking"? Please define what entitles YOU to decide if that sexual activity is "rape" or consensual sex (instead of the parties involved)? Obviously Sweden has decided they are some kind of paternal father figure who gets to force these women onto the stand. Have you ever been involved in, or watched a rape trial treestar?
Its humiliating enough for women who are motivated to seek justice for a crime. These women are going to be slut shamed as they must describe every last detail of their consensual sex in public, and then watch their partner, who they had consensual sex with, go to jail.
