Well, in sweden. the definition of rape has been broadened to include regretful sex and sex under the influence of anything mind altering regardless if their partner is under the influence of the same thing. Feminists in other european countries are pushing for the same thing. In a certain part of Sweden, a law to make it illegal for males to pee while standing up was pushed..... |
What Swedish law says about rape is that
"A person whom, through abuse or violence, or a threat of criminal of a criminal act, forces another person to have intercourse, or perform or undergo another sexual act, which, in view of the seriousness of the violation, is comparable to sexual intercourse, is convicted of rape and imrpisoned for 2 to 6 years.
The same goes for a person who has intercourse or performs a sexual act, which, according to the first paragraph is comparable to sexual intercourse, by unduly exploiting another person due to unconsciousness, being asleep, serious fear, intoxication or other drug influence, illness, bodily injury or mental disorder, or other cases where person due to other circumstances is in a particularly vulnerable situation."
Keep in mind, this is also one of the rather few gender neutral rape laws, so whatever agenda they are futhering, it isn't one of female supremacy.
As for the peeing thing. I googled it. Representatives from one local group of one, rather small, party (got 5% of the total votes in the national election) proposed that members of the Swedish parliament (not everyone in Sweden), should sit when they went to the toilet for hygienic reasons (ie. so that the next user of the bathroom stall wouldn't meet a puddle of piss on the floor). To me this does indeed seem like a rather silly thing, but I don't see what this has to do with feminism, and it also isn't a proposal that regarded the entire public.
