OSLO (Reuters) - A Norwegian court has sentenced a woman to nine months in jail for raping a man, the first such conviction in the Scandinavian country that prides itself for its egalitarianism.

The 31-year-old man fell asleep on a sofa at a party in January last year and told the court in the western city of Bergen he woke to find the 23-year-old woman was having oral sex with him.

Under Norwegian law, all sexual acts with someone who is "unconscious or for other reasons unable to oppose the act" are considered rape.

The court sentenced the woman Wednesday to nine months in jail and ordered her to pay 40,000 Norwegian crowns ($6,355) in compensation.

"This is a very harsh sentence," the woman's lawyer, Per Magne Kristiansen, told the Norwegian news agency NTB. The woman argued the man had been awake and consented.

The prosecutor had sought a 10-month sentence and argued the court should not be more lenient with a woman than a man. It was Norway's first conviction of a woman for rape.

Norway has long traditions of equality -- 40 percent of the cabinet of Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, for instance, are women.

Norweigian woman convicted in court for raping a man...he woke to find the 23-year-old woman was having oral sex with him.

But, I thought oral sex wasn't sex.

[I still care]

My family was discussing this today, in view of the fact that Mary Kay Letourneau is going to marry her "love".

When a 34 year old sexually abuses a 13 year old, aren't they a sexual predator? I know a 40 year old who abused a 13 year old, and he ended up with 105 years in prison.

Yet she is out after only a few years, and is actually marrying the boy she abused, just because she is a woman. This is disgusting.

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it!

I didn't think it was humanly possible for a woman to rape a man.

If true, dude, then you are an idiot.

A lot might fantasize about a situation like that but let's get real here. Think of all the women in your life. Would you want to wake up to them performing oral sex on you? No, I imagine not. He could be a homosexual. He could be in another relationship. He could be concerned about diseases like herpes. He may have religious or moral qualms with her perpetrating an act of sodomy (yes, hetero oral sex is sodomy). The fact of the matter is they were not even sexual partners, only friends. She didn't have a reason to believe he'd welcome this sort of wake-up call except misandry and dehumanizing objectification of men. No doubt she's a feminist.

That Letourneau was convicted and caught with him a second time and not sent away for a very long time is disgusting and clearly not in any way "equal protection under law." It's even worse that she's being allowed to *marry* her victim!

Reverse the genders and there would be riots in the streets.
