This is an example of how some people are using feminism to victimize themselves, and hide behind. "If something goes wrong, it's the big bad men who are out to get me". This gives feminism bad a rep.

Well, she said that the story is based on true stories (diffrent cases etc) and not just ONE true story. Or am I taking a bike ride out of here? ; )
Ofcourse there will be bad apples.... There always is! But one must look beyond.
Just like you said, Sweden has come far but sometimes you ask yourself "is this crap really worth putting time/effort into" (like having a lady in the walk signs)? But still equal pay for equal work isnt true yet. Rapes are still beeing commited and so on...There is still a long way to go!
