Stockholm (AFP) - A tough new law that will recognise sex without explicit consent as rape comes into effect in Sweden on Sunday, after the country was rocked by the #MeToo movement denouncing sexual harassment and assault.
The law stipulates that a person has committed rape if they have been part of a sexual act in which the other person has not participated "freely".
Rape had previously been defined as a sexual act carried out with the use of violence or threat.
Now for someone to face rape charges, "it is no longer necessary that violence or threats were applied, or that the aggressor took advantage of the victim's particularly vulnerable situation," according to the government.

Time to pull out an old classic.
Is talking to someone without their consent harassment?
This basically outlaws sex without a contract
I dated a Swedish girl, She loved to get naked, sauna and roll around in the snow and demand to have her bottom spanked with birch twigs...
Sweet Mary Brown. What else?
But only for non-Muslims.

When I was dating, agreement was manifest by conduct. It didn’t need to be verbalized when I got shot down, nor when I prevailed. It wasn’t complicated. It now apparently requires mediation by a third party.
Even a contract would not be good enough, because the woman can withdraw consent at any time, and without even verbalizing that she has done so.
Meanwhile, Muslim immigrants can rape and groom young girls all they want. The laws are exclusively aimed at white males.
Is there a sharia exemption?
I wonder if the American people can say they were “raped” by the politicians in DC. What they do is primarily without our consent.
Oh Honey, before we do the dirt and nasty, could you sign here.... and here.... and here...
Don’t ask me. Ask a lawyer, a civil rights attorney, a college professor, a cop, a DA, a congress critter, a reporter, The UN, ..............ain’t not cure for the summer time blues!
For what good it will do. Most of the rapes are committed by the “Refugees”. And they are all exempt from prosecution.
Translate it into arabic and post it.
No
I have that memorized! The video they made is hilarious!
