This is so the worst thing you're going to read all day.

[Trigger warning for sexual violence and rape apologia.]

Time's really hitting 'em out of the park lately:

Foreign visitors to Stockholm's lively bar scene might be struck by the assertiveness of the nation's women — the typical Swedish female seems to have no qualms about approaching men to start a conversation or initiate a romantic encounter. To Swedish feminists, that confidence is just one part of the country's wider effort to promote women's rights. "The whole society now expects women to be as forward with their sexual will as men. That, after all, is part of achieving gender equality," explains Karine Arakelian, chairwoman of Terrafem, a shelter organization for abused women.

But despite having the freedom to dictate their sexual encounters, Swedish women face a troubling fact: Sweden has by far the highest incidence of reported rapes in Europe, and one of the lowest conviction rates in the developed world.

I can't decide which part of that I like best: The implication that non-assertive women don't have "the freedom to dictate their sexual encounters," or the implication that assertive women (and, by extension, the feminism that creates them) are responsible for rape.
