Love & Sex in Scandinavia: Experts in Liberal Desire? Extreme Love & Relationships Documentary

With its reputation for being liberal and sexually-open minded, Scandinavia leads the the world when it comes to gender equality. Its empowered women are not afraid to express their desires. But is gender equality enough to ensure harmony between men and women? In this episode, we go in search of the secrets of Nordic love.
From as early as kindergarten, children in Scandinavia are taught to challenge the gender stereotypes that society imposes on them. In one classroom, a group of small girls chant ‘we are strong’ as their teacher encourages them to shout and occupy space. Next door, the boys are taught to compliment each other and be in tune with their feelings. At a church in Reykjavik, the (female) pastor has set up sex education classes to help teenagers understand their desire. Here masturbation is encouraged and nothing is taboo.
But this progressivism also has surprising side effects. When it comes to dating, Scandinavian women almost always make the first move. Often they tend to find their male partners shy, even uptight. Sometimes men don’t even dare to approach them anymore in case they are seen as being inappropriate. The Viking male today is in the midst of a masculinity crisis.
And, from one country to another, the contrasts are striking. In Sweden, there is a law that requires the consent of the partner before intercourse. In Finland, there is still the Eukonkanto, a traditional discipline where you race while carrying your wife like a sack of potatoes.
A symbol of free and uninhibited love, Scandinavia also has to deal with a serious problem: sexual violence, which has been steadily increasing for years. According to a recent report by Amnesty International, 30% of women in the Nordic countries are victims of sexual abuse - one of the highest percentages in Europe.

Wife carrying? It would never work in America. Most of our wives are too heavy to be lifted.

[@haver9478]

Or you're too weak to carry them

[@SVAdAstra]

@@haver9478 The average American woman of 20 years of age and up weighs 170.8 pounds (lbs) and stands at 63.5 inches (in), which is almost 5 feet (ft), 4 in tall. That is a body mass index of 29.3: overweight, and just below the threshold of being obese. The National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC showed in their most up to date statistics that 41.9% of U.S. adult women were obese as of 2017-2018.

[@haver9478]

@@SVAdAstra Nice to see you using sources and doing research for a futile internet discussion (no worries, so am I😊). The problem is, you are getting a deformed image of body mass index by using mere weight and length averages. As for the CDC, an average American woman has a BMI of 26.5, which is 3 BMI points lower than your calculation. I also need to state that BMI (on its own) is an inaccurate way to calculate obesity or physical health. And if an average American women weighs 170.8 pounds, you're telling me you can't lift that on your shoulders?

[@SVAdAstra]

@@haver9478 Here's my source: www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr122-508.pdf. Please show yours. Lift 170 pounds on my shoulders? That's more than I weigh. Maybe once. But run with that weight, even in my youth (I'm now 70 years old) -- no way. Even for firemen taking the agility test, the standard is to drag (not carry) a 165 pound dummy. I know: I took and passed that test decades ago. American women are fat. Maybe not the fattest, but here in Northern Europe where I am now, you can watch a hundred women walk by and not see one under the age of 50 who is as large as the average American woman. Why? It's complicated, but a large part of the problem is American women substituting carbohydrates for fat and protein in their diet. The Diet/Heart Hypothesis foisted on us by Ansel Keys that demonized saturated fat is a big factor in the obesity epidemic. Americans eat an average of 300 grams of carbohydrates every day. That's an outrageous number!

[@WhiteGeared]

@@AgelessPhoton That's how the progressive societies have managed to check the savagery possessed by animalistic genes. It's working amazingly for the most part except dating. So the system needs to be tweaked for this shortcoming. You see in the savage parts of the world that one man ruins hundreds of other mans chance to have a happy legacy. This system was truly a good counter to that until another animalistic nature showed up again. Women aren't able to get wet without a bit savage man and also Men don't want to have fight in his home- as I understand the issue is.

[@AgelessPhoton]

@@WhiteGeared it doesn’t work. As simple as that. Women tend to choose just as before, jobs that do not require intense stress and physical labor. Men stand where they used to stand, in the same labor intensive activities, that very often involve high risk and danger. Society is a complex maze that consists of its people with its organisational structure. “Dating” = fertility = children = people = society. So no, it “works” only in propagandistic media and political coverage with no real statistics and real arguments behind. Edit: fun fact, a single google search will give more insights than this video: “Finland Fertility Rate” - Finland makes an interesting case with regard to fertility for two puzzling reasons. Firstly, fertility is declining in a country known for its high degree of gender equality and extensive policies to support reconciliation between work and family life, both of which have been theorized to support fertility. Secondly, the decline in fertility has con- tinued in Finland, against expectations, even after the country’s economy started to pick up and unemployment began decreasing in 2016. 1960 - 2.8, 2020 - 1,37

@@hyperadapted Although there is no such thing as 'male nature', the behaviour they were forced to display was disrespectful and belittling towards their independence and individuality. It would have been the same if they were girls. You don't create 'brotherhood' (or 'sisterhood') by forcing kids to give each other compliments and awkwardly stare each other into the eyes. Friendships arise naturally through compatibility and respect for each others differences and characters. I suspect that the female headmaster of this education program has some sort of deep-seated trauma with respect to male dominance and is trying to produce males who are submissive and neutralised of their assertiveness.

I am confused by the concept they displayed of "harmonizing the genders in kindergarten". I applaud the approach of letting kids choose their interests and toys, regardless of stereotypes. However the school seemed more like a forced role reversal. Maybe they just showed the girls playing with the foam blocks and the boys doing crochet for effect, and that they all get to use every toy. I hope they ALL get to choose their activities and are not just pushed into "opposite" toys that satisfy the school agenda.

[@Theactualclips]

Yeah, apart from that, I noticed the men are more vulnerable and less confident in themselves, while the ladies are more active and confident. I think it’s just a forced role reversal from birth. Also, she said “a lot of Icelandic men are threatened by their women because they’re strong women”. I personally don’t see them being threatened by it because it’s something they’ve known for probably 30 years of their lives since they were born. Even at home. It’s all they’ve ever known. I think that thing she mentioned was just another manifestation of the thing I talked about. About their men being less “confident” in themselves.

I was also initially a bit put off by what sort of seems like brainwashing/cultish behavior...But I would also ask you to consider, is it not just as cruel to force a boy with a softer more quiet temperament to play football; or to force an outgoing, aggressive girl to sit quietly all day? These are two things that happen fairly regularly in most Western countries right? Everyone is subject to the forces of their culture/society - everyone self-inhibits their natural tendencies to fit in better. Not saying you're wrong, it's just something to consider. Also, your point about DV...I don't know about the stats for DV in general, but I do know the stats for sexual assault show that it is a small percentage of men repeatedly sexually assaulting people. Ie something like 9/10 men will never sexually assault someone in their lives, but the other 1/10 will commit all the sexual assaults. And, all men of sound mind know you can't go around hitting people or actively trying to make their lives miserable. So it seems to me for DV to happen, either the man is of unsound mind, or he is very unhappy/dissatisfied with the relationship he's in - note that I am NOT saying it means the woman is at fault...you need to work with the guy to figure out what it is that is manifesting in DV.

[@Mirador2]

What's your point? What if the woman is a 1.8m bodybuilder and the man a 1.5m skinny guy in a wheelchair? Gender doesn't determine those things.

[@francotheafrican7550]

@@Mirador2 Your argument in itself defeats the entire purpose of this video. Is the average woman physically bigger and stronger than the average man? Definitely not. So, your point of a random female body builder is not the societal norm. Hence, men and women are vastly different. Men are innately more risk takers than women, innately protectors than women. So, suppressing those innate attributes in young boys is a dis-service to society.

[@Mirador2]

@@francotheafrican7550 I am not responding to the video, but to this person's comment. My point is that people should be seen as INDIVIDUALS, instead of people belonging to groups (men or women), that is, that a person because he is a man should not be automatically considered strong, big and brave, because in reality, that may not be the case, it is a possibility, however, statistically the possibility of this being true is higher compared to if the person is a woman, but here already we are dealing with generalities, not individualities. So being big, strong or brave is not determined by gender, it is determined by the characteristics that each person has as an individual.

[@francotheafrican7550]

@@Mirador2 That is where I still disagree with you. What measuring criteria are you using to measure being “Big”, “Strong”, and “Brave”. Being BIG in stature ? Majority of men are bigger than women across all races, except for African American women in the U.S. where the women are now becoming physically bigger than their men due to obesity. How do you want to measure strength? How much weight can someone bench press, deadlift ? Even on a biological level, men’s muscle fibers are denser and more compact than women. Our fast twitch and slow twitch fibers are more than women. Even in professional sports like marathon: men’s timing is by far different than women. Whatever metric you chose to measure strength, the genders are in no where close. Our differences are not individual specific, it’s gender specific; hence men and women are different and should be treated fairly but differently. Don’t even let me get into being “Brave”, the difference is a landslide.

[@Mirador2]

@@francotheafrican7550 The terms "strong", "big", and "brave" are not my point here, they are not relevant in my message, I simply used them as examples of human characteristics, but you can use any term "sensitive", "weak", or whatever, that's not my point, I'm not trying to say anything relevant with that. I'm saying that EVERYONE IS AN INDIVIDUAL, like the example of the woman who is a bodybuilder and the man in a wheelchair, everyone has a different condition, and you are talking about generalities (averages), not individualities, which is what I have been referring to from the beginning. There is a TENDENCY that certain characteristics are more common in men and others in women, it's an average or generality, but each individual is different: *The man in a wheelchair does not stop being a man because he is as weak as the average woman, and the bodybuilder woman does not stop being a woman because she is as strong as the average man.* Right? What you are saying could be true if we were talking about "females have ovaries and produce eggs, and males have testes and produce sperm." But even this is not always true, for example, sterile people, hermaphrodites, etc.

[@avisambrobro664]

The age of natural transition in childhood is being turned on its head by this role play. Boys and girls transition through various gender roles until they adjust to pronounced male and female roles in their teens. Hormones kick in to establish their exact genders and had it not been modern coercion, males will be males and females will be females but gender controls had forced "secret" experimentation a nd we have all fallen foul of natural gender roles.

I'm not against separating the boys from the girls in schools. Years ago, here in the American South, I got a chance to see the true nature of men and women. People think men are crazy competitive against each other but it was the girls in high performing classes that acted like that. Boys that were not as smart fell behind, with no mercy. While in shop class, overwhelming male, everybody crossed the finishing line. You see, our instructor made sure the brightest and best help the other boys that were quite there yet. Later in life you learn men are far more cooperative to accomplish the completion of an endeavor(business).

[@sirsillybilly]

There’s something called the Scandinavian Paradox where despite equality education the women choose to pursue traditional roles like education, carers over things like STEM. Meanwhile in poorer countries like India you have more female engineers proportionally. Women when they are provided for by the State have the luxury of choice and choose vocations closer to their innate biological drive. People in poorer countries understand the value of financial freedom and strive harder to achieve in fields which pay more.

dump? You're leaving them with family that they are familiar with for a day. Even if you have a partner, how could you even manage to raise them totally on your own without community?

Children being raised and protected by their parents and their parents community/tribe is one of the few old school things that should endure. And it's hard not to pick up on a parent being constantly upset and unhappy because they feel the need to be the homemaker that doesn't have a social life outside church on sunday, when they regularly transfer all of that to you via yelling, having zero patience, etc. It's upsetting that all of that could have been easily avoided if they just left the damn house to have some fun on a regular basis.

I was looking to see if this had been commented on, as the definition of sexual harassment and assault is so different between the countries. As of today, anything but a clear consent is regarded as rape by Swedish law, ranging from rape by negligence for failing to obtain a stated consent to aggravated rape where treats and violence was actually used. Anything that made a woman feel uncomfortable, be it looks, verbal or physical is counted into the surveys made regarding sexual violence.
