@_kityounot The fact so many women either support it or remain silent about it's stark irrationality shows us that women are not nearly as good as men, on average, at being reasonable and rejecting a false and stupid idea that seems to them to be the consensus.

Ich bin eine Frau und lehne dieses Gesetz ab. Die Folgen davon sind strafrechtliche Willkür auf der einen Seite, aber auch und vor allem eine Vertiefung des Grabens zwischen Männern und Frauen, in dem weiter Misstrauen gesät wird.

That is exactly what the Swedes did with immigrant crime, they had data they didn't like about immigrants and criminality, so they simply stopped recording those metrics about the suspects and convicted. This was the government who proudly called themselves the first feminist government on the planet or something like this. (Denmark has those data recorded well and they are nasty AF) And ironically that story overlaps with their own adoption of consent based rape legislation a few years before Denmark. I don't know if this is true, I find it hard to believe these people are *that* evil even though I've seen some crazy shit, but it certainly was timed well to look suspicious. Anyway, the Swedes changed their rape definitions at around the same time the massive group of Syrian refugees arrived. But just before the law changed there was already a pretty crazy 2-3x spike in rapes, making it unlikely that the law was the reason, but of course the timing of the change made sure no-one could separate the two and the official line afterwards was always to insinuate that ethnic Swedish men were always raping left, right and center, but only the new law was now suddenly able to convict them for it.

@MRune @wil_da_beast630 That is truly a pity. I often get the sense with many movements which scan as "woke" to me, that if your fire alarm goes off, the first thing you should do is destroy the fire alarm. Good governance needs good feedback loops.

So, it looks like the EU - first in the world - is going to formally say that all sex not involving ~the liberal-arts-campus standard of "affirmative, verbal/explicit, enthusiastic, informed, sober, continuing, preferably provable (etc)" consent is rape. The problem, per polling, is that this is...60-90% of sex. Before feminist buddies scream "You're so close to GETTING it (!!!)," this is as true for men as for women. "Eh, sure - I'll go down tonight...you know I love that microbiome" is not enthusiastic consent. You are not "sober and informed" after a good wine date. Etc. Most couples, probably, just don't make spoken legal requests before each hook-up. Thoughts?

Yes, and the explanation for how you avoid this problem under the new laws is not to actually seek this consent every time, they *know* this is entirely impractical. In stead they will tell you "just to trust your partner because this is a law for special situations not for a functional relationship". And if then they end up being wrong and the person who was given way too much power over what you go to jail for does in fact abuse this position, then the answer, predictably, will be "you deserved it, you're definitely a rapist".

This literally means that, as a European man, any sex you do not formally ask for - mutual seduction, in the morning, an oral break during vaginal sex - is legally rape...even if you and your partner both want to do it. If your wife wakes you up with head, YOU have been raped.

Oh, I'm reading a weirdly ideological support for not having children in stead. The Danish health system surprised me in a similar way whith all the checkups with my wife, as she got and was pregnant, her delivery of our baby, and follow up on her. Again and again she would get treated, without being asked first, with an assumption that she was hoping she wasn't pregnant, that she was going to have an abortion, that she didn't get pregnant on purpose, that she would be using birth control to prevent getting pregnant again and so on and on, always, everywhere. I don't know if this is written into the procedures in our health system or if it just a cultural imprint of the woke anti-humanist culture expressing itself through various health practitioners, the same one that prevented me from wanting to have children for so many years..Or both. But it is unsettling that, if this experience is universal, everyone gets talked out of having children with every interaction within the Danish health services...at the same time the top politicians are saying we need to have more babies, how does this make any sense!? So, when no-one is talking a guy out of a vasectomy, to me, it sounds like they are internally just going "Oh yeah, good, less disgusting rapey, imperialist humans who will produce CO2"..

Oh that’s actually bc a vasectomy doesn’t kill a baby. Hope that helps.

Well, it's a nice thing if you manage to count the right thing and record it. But for example in this case, they are not counting the false convictions, because according to the law they passed they are perfectly correct, it's just that the law is clearly wrong as there was no actual wrong done and the definition of rape used by the law does not align at all with the general public's understanding of what rape is. This is a woke law, it is intended as activism, the idea is to change people's perception of what rape is into how the woke want it to be. This is not a valid way to make laws, it's a crazy manipulative way, but in Denmark the woke have so complete control of the institutions that they can do this and also bias or even falsify the statistics we keep. So, personally, I don't trust any Danish statistic that touches a woke field of interest anymore..

@MRune @wil_da_beast630 One thing I adore about the Danes.... Y'all are the best about keeping statistics.

One of the most vocal critics was Marianne Stidsen, who later wrote a book trying to drum up some sense from Denmark. There are ten cases gone through in detail in the book, cases from the new law. I remind you that Denmark is a very small country and finding 10 rape convictions in Denmark is already a pretty significant number without even having to consider how many such cases must be out there that get no attention. For reference in the period 1980-2010 Denmark had (roughly) between 40 and 90 rape convictions a year. Unfortunately it seems to not be available in English, but here is a very short AI summery from Grok. " The book is polemical and aims to restart the consent debate with concrete examples rather than abstract theory. Short bullet-point summary of Marianne Stidsen's book "Med lov skal land nedbrydes" (With Law Shall the Land Be Destroyed): Samtykkeloven og dens kollektive justitsmord (The Consent Law and Its Collective Miscarriages of Justice), 2023. Core thesis: Denmark's 2021 consent-based rape law (samtykkeloven) is a serious threat to the rule of law, presumption of innocence, and legal certainty, leading to wrongful convictions of men and boys.indblik.dk Main content: Detailed analysis of 10 real Danish court cases after the law's introduction, showing how men and young boys received multi-year prison sentences on weak, often contradictory evidence, primarily based on the absence of explicit "consent" rather than proven violence or non-voluntariness.nextory.com Criticism of the law: The law ignored advice from most legal experts (e.g., 10 out of 11 members of the Penal Code Council), who favored a "voluntariness" (frivillighed) standard over "consent" (samtykke), influenced by activist and feminist pressures.nextory.com Consequences highlighted: Erosion of due process, reversal of the burden of proof in practice, "collective miscarriages of justice," and damage to the justice system driven by identity politics and a culture of grievance.indblik.dk Broader perspective: Stidsen argues the law undermines democracy and the rule of law, drawing on close examination of cases, including input from those affected. She calls for a return to evidence-based justice over ideological approaches.indblik.dk Author's stance: Written accessibly as a debate book; profits support "Ord mod Ord," an organization for men's and boys' legal security in consent cases. Stidsen, a literary scholar and debater, has long critiqued #MeToo and related policies.nextory.com "

Pure insanity. We had this whole process already in Denmark, all the way from this early test-balloon message stage to it now already having been law in Denmark for long enough that the data is in and we know that it creates a *bunch* of clearly false convictions and also doesn't in any way solve the old problems of prosecuting rape cases. It's basically all downside. Infinitely more ways to abuse the system as a weapon and constant and blatant gaslighting about how this is not ever a reversed burden of proof and such - It's truely a sad state of affairs. We were a few people who were warning before it happened that it would be the disaster it turned out to be, but no-one listened, they just called us "rapey", talked about looking into our past because there must be a bunch of rapes that we had committed since we didn't know about consent and they just went on and on attacking the messengers without ever engaging honestly with the criticisms. So almost no-one dared speak out, this even though the vast majority of men and maybe 50% of women would immediately acknowledge in private how stupid it was - but no-one with any serious public profile or authoritative voice ever dared stick their nose out and say it out loud - retarded emotional weaklings all! It wasn't even the result of a genuine democratic decision, it came about after a famous feminist lunatic lawprofessor, who had been bringing this idea out every other year for a decade, had a private conversation with the prime minister, yes the one who hates Trump, and then magically it was suddenly passed without much further explanation and zero sane input or revision. I can't remember, but it might have been quietly tacked onto some larger package before it got that far.. Anyway, I can only recommend all the people who have objections to be as loud and obnoxious about this as possible and know, that all those accusations you get when you open your mouth about this are coming from people so dumb and woke that being insulted by them is a great honor and privilege and probably will end up giving you extra karma points in one way or another..

4/4 You’re literally punished for wanting to live somewhere else. This isn’t freedom of movement. It’s a financial trap. Danes, is this the country we’re proud of? Americans, take notes.

3/4 Imagine telling an American: "If you ever move abroad, we’ll tax all your unrealized gains the day you leave." The meltdown would be instant. Yet in Denmark it’s just "normal" policy. The model strikes again.

1/4 Denmark - that shining "model country" everyone holds up as proof that high taxes can be wonderful. Until you decide to leave. Then the mask slips.

@AntiWokeMemes Are woke women even women? Do *they* know!?

Guys, what is stopping you from dating a woke woman?

@Ambar_SIFF_MRA I revoke my consent to pay taxes both next year, last year and this year..

Consent is "Revocable at any time" Europe is cooked.

Yes, but it is rare, those guys doing it are the 1% of people that are diagnosable psychopaths and detectable by the traditional medical system, which believes there are basically only male psychopaths. But this system has been corrupted because we can't bring ourselves to accept the reality that more than 50% of women are in fact psychopaths, they just do it in a slightly different way and the diagnoses have been carefully crafted to avoid correctly detecting the actual amount of female psychopaths because no-one who wrote that paper would have a career after reporting this honestly.

Do men “actively sabotage” their competitors in the same way as women?

@Kalla_Kriget The only Mach 2 fighter where the cockpit is smaller than the helmet..

Now do taxes…

4/4 The “model country” can’t even let people trade digital assets without punishing them. Danes, does this feel fair to you?

3/4 This isn’t reasonable taxation. This is deliberately making it impossible to trade or manage your own portfolio without the state taking a massive cut at every step. Americans: imagine the IRS taxing you for moving money between your own accounts. That’s Denmark’s crypto reality.

1/4 Everyone loves to hold Denmark up as this perfect, fair, well-run Nordic model. Progressive. Logical. Then you look at crypto rules here and it’s comedy.
