Swedish feminists probably have as wide a range of opinions on any given topic as any other kind of feminist. Also: "the left," a fraught and increasingly fluid concept.


The narrative is extremely one-sided in Sweden and there's no debate. Celebrities get unanimously cancelled for getting caught buying sex.

Here are some quotes (Google Translated) from the biggest feminist organisation (Feministiskt Initiativ):

"Prostitution and human trafficking for sexual purposes is a form of violence and a violation of human rights."

"Sexualization and objectification work against the principle of the human being as an independent subject and can limit women's ability to protect their bodily integrity."

"Equality cannot be achieved as long as it is possible to buy other people's bodies through prostitution, strip or sex clubs."

"Working against pornography and objectifying representations is thus an important part of violence prevention work."


Yes, generalizations can never be made and truth does not exist.
