Where can we have privacy if not in our home?


Less than a month ago I noticed an article in a Swedish newspaper that made me rage. The reason was both the article itself, the sexism against men and because I thought that Sweden was above Americas level of suing people for meaningless things.

A 50 year old man walked around naked in his own house, also take notice that this man had a hedge outside his house so someone that just passes by would probably not see that clearly if they didn’t take a good look. But, a 30 year old woman passes by and sees this naked man in his home.

In a normal case in Sweden the story would end right there. She would turn her head and go away, pretending that she hadn’t seen anything. There was a hedge in the way, I don’t know how high it was but the paper says that it conceals some of the view. With other words, for her to see this man completely naked, she must have looked over the edge with her own free will, on his property.

So in this case the woman goes to her husband and comes back another time to the house, with her husband and records the naked man going around in his own house, on his own property, with a hedge in the way for others praying eyes.  And not only do they film it once, but twice.

This woman then goes to the police and says that this man sexually harassed her even though she didn’t know if he even saw her. She wanted compensation on 9000 crown’s (1350 USD) because she had seen him naked.

In the end he didn’t have to pay her anything.

So this man walked around naked in his own home, with a hedge in the way. He didn’t have any intentions of showing himself to anyone, and he simply felt like dressing (or not dressing) as he wanted to in his own house when no one was there. He didn’t do anything wrong.

She on the other hand looked into his house on more than one occasion, which I don’t really see as a crime, but a bit creepy. She and her husband started to record into his house, over the hedge to get proof of him going around naked. Ever heard of privacy?

Why not go to his house, knock on the door, tell him “hey, I’m sorry I saw you naked yesterday. Could you put on a robe at least?” Not even that would be okay, but more okay than filming an innocent man that likes going around naked in the morning.

If that had been a woman and a man had seen her and then filmed her to show in court. Then she would have been freed and right afterwards sued him for sexually harassment by filming her. No one would let a man do such a thing but apparently it’s totally fine if a woman does it. Why?

I have a very neutral look at genders, I think both gender should be seen as equals and only the individuals personality and skills should be judged. If they say that it would be wrong for a man to record a woman in this same scenario but the woman was justified because the man showed himself naked, then there’s something wrong. Either both is wrong or both is right and I can only see it as both is wrong. Women shouldn’t have more rights than men in certain questions like who shall have the right to the baby or if they become a rape victim. Men shouldn’t have more rights than women in certain questions like salary and jobs. We should get a job for our skills, we should take care of our children equally even if we have split up, we should get equal salary for the same job and rape is rape it doesn’t matter if its on a woman or a man.

Stop right now humanity! Stop this ridiculous suing for nothing! Stop this meaningless gender wars of who is more oppressed than the other! Just stop it!

I think that if we just stop looking at genders and just see people, persons, individuals, then the world will become a better place.

My new project, getting to know you by letting you know me


Hello! 

I have been working on a post for over three hours and I’m far from done. So I thought I should take a rest and do a regular blog before going to bed and then continue on the post tomorrow.

As you see I am not dead, I simply am very bad at posting regularly. For a little teaser on what I am working on right now it is a post about what makes me into the person I am. Not exactly. But its ten of the big things that makes me into the person I am, but just as the title says (‘Now you’re 10 steps closer to understand me’) its just some parts of what makes me to the person I am.

The ten topics I’m bringing up in the post is:

1. sexuality
2. Relationships & family
3. Religious belief
4. Phobias
5. Drinking & smoking
6. Children
7. Evil & Good
8. Gender
9. Violence
10. (Un)Natural
(These names might change slightly during the week but will probably stay as the same topics)

After a bit over three hours I have been writing about 3 of these topics, sexuality, religious belief and phobias. “Why the heck did you jump one?”.… I just didn’t feel inspired to talk about that one at the moment.

So I am talking about what I believe and what I have experienced, how I look at stuff in that topic (in around fivehundred words per topic), and I am inviting people to discuss it. I don’t know when it will be up since we’re getting guest tomorrow and they will stay until Sunday I think. And as I said, it takes a hell lot of time to write just for one topic. So it might take me a week to finish it completely. I hope that people will be interested to read some of the topics and maybe give their own opinions on the same topic. Maybe even make a interesting blog post about it.

The clock is now half past two in the morning, I feel a bit groggy, I shall watch a couple of youtube clips and then I will go to bed! Goodnight world, I shall try to be a better blogger in the future and post a bit more frequently. ^^

The journey


Hey :3
Sorry that I haven’t updated for some time ^^’ Bad me!

Today I sat down and read my Swedish speech ( That I put up last year) and I decided to write it into English so you guys could read it ^^ I think it was much better in Swedish than in English since I couldn’t find words that fitted with what I had originally written in Swedish. But it wasn’t too bad so I will still put it up ;)

This was written in my second year of high school. It was a oral test so I didn’t say it exactly as it was written. I got an A on the test :)
The theme we were going to write about was ‘a journey’

Here it is:
”I am going to talk about the biggest journey we will ever do, the journey some long for and others fear. The one no one can avoid to do at some point of their existence. Its either our last journey or it will be a continuation on the journey we have already started. Maybe that’s when the real journey starts. I shall talk about the journey from life to death. 


Many of us fear death, even though its something we can’t avoid. We probably fear it since we don’t know what will happen after we died, humans often fear what they don’t understand. There’s probably a lot of people that sees death as the last journey, when you die you will never wake up again. You will disappear into a vacuum of nothingness without memories, feelings or a soul. Everything just disappears. This is of course a scary thought for many, that everything will just end. Because if we just cease to exist without having known about our existence in life, what did we then live for? Doesn’t that make life meaningless?

But what if death only is the beginning of our journey, or the continuation of the journey we already started when we were born?

I have read a book written by Gabrielle Zevin that’s named Elsewhere. It’s about 15 year old Liz whom dies in an accident. She wakes up in ‘the afterlife’ where everyone ages backwards starting from the age they died. When they have reached the age of a newborn again they are sent back to the world of the living without any memories of their previous life.
I think this is a very interesting way to look at it, because if it were like that then we would be living in a circle that would never end. Which would mean that the journey would never end and there would never be anything to fear. Some people might fear death their whole life but then realize that all the energy they put on fear was wasted since there was nothing to be afraid of.

All of us have different opinions about what will happen after death, but everyone of us can probably agree that it is a journey we all must experience. The journey can be beautiful, but also horrible, which makes me think about this picture from Crysis 2 (shows a picture)
New York is destroyed and in ruins, one can assume that many people have died, but even though it is so sad and brutal there is still something beautiful in this picture. Despite the devastation this picture still makes me feel calm and peaceful. Maybe death is like that, even though it seems horrible for the rest of the world it might be peaceful and beautiful for the dead person.

But the only way of really knowing is die yourself. But that doesn’t mean that we should throw ourselves head first from a cliff because we are curious. Death is something that will come to us all eventually, and we should live our life’s happily until that day comes. Because if death would be the end of our journey, if our existence would be erased, then shouldn’t we have done something with our life’s that we can be proud over, so that we don’t have to lie on our deathbed with regrets? “

This was the picture I used in the presentation:

PE everyday? Can’t beans be brown?


STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!

Sweden has become such a crybaby! We always complain even though we have a pretty good system. Nothing is perfect and you can’t make it perfect. NOT EVER. As fast as you have fixed everything that is bad you will just come up with something else that is in need of being fixed. And sometimes its things that isn’t a problem at all.

One example:
In Sweden we have brown beans that we have named bruna bönor (brown beans). Logical!
But now they think that it is racist to say brown beans so brown beans will now be named beans!

WHY???? THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE OFFENDED IS THE WHITE SWEDISH PEOPLE… The immigrants in Sweden doesn’t even care about this kind of things… Brown is a f*cking color. In that case we should take away every color that is brown, red, white beige or yellow since all of them can be racist colors cause they are all skin colors. GIVE IT UP SWEDEN!!!

But that wasn’t what I were going to talk about. The real topic is what I read in the newspaper today.

Gym class 

In Sweden we have around one or two PE lessons every week depending on which school we are in. And everyone knows that you can’t only move around two times a week, you have to move around at least 30 minutes every day.

So today when I read the newspaper there was an article about PE teachers complaining on how few PE lessons we have. And I agree that we should have more than one lesson every week. Two or three lessons would probably be good, but not more than three and not less than two. At least that’s my opinion.

But they said that we should have 60 minutes PE everyday in our schools. They had a good argument for it, you think better during the day if you have worked out. But there are also a lot of things that can and will be bad PE EVERYDAY!

Here’s a small list:

  1. Bullying – Some people that aren’t good at sports, or are fat, are often bullied during PE lessons. Being chosen last in games like soccer and sometimes have to sit at the bench a whole match because the teacher isn’t paying attention to who has been in and not. If this happened every day, how would those people feel?
  2. Skipping lessons – People that doesn’t like sports or have a hard time with sports sometimes decides to not go to the lessons. If they would have PE everyday then its most likely that they will show up even less because once a week is already more than they are comfortable with.
  3. Time – Some people can’t handle having PE lessons just when they have gotten out of bed, so if they have it the first thing in the morning they might think about skipping because they are too tired to do it. If they have it as the last lesson before lunch some might skip because they are too hungry. If it is the last lesson at the day they might be too tired after a long day in school to be able to go through the PE lesson. If every class are going to have PE everyday, then some classes will get to have it on very bad times and some students will not show up. Of course this is already happening some classes in every school even though its only one or two lessons a week.
  4. After school activities – If people are sporting after school then it can become too much after some time to first have PE during the day then in the evening go and have soccer training for some hours. Some might enjoy it while others may quit their after school activity because it becomes too much.

Of course these kind of things are different for everyone, every person have different needs. Some people prefer a good book while others wants to run after a ball for hours without getting tired.

I think that its better to let the kids do their exercise after school if they want to do it, and not force them to do something they don’t want to do everyday for nine years + high school. For me, PE was torture during my nine first years and I would NEVER have gone to the lessons if it had been more than two times a week.

An argument people have for letting them do this in school is that many kids doesn’t have an after school activity, so they don’t move around as much as they should. Well, educate them and tell them that if they don’t move this much everyday then they will probably become fat diabetic people. Then it will be their fault for not doing anything about it!

Okay, that became too much, I know. What I meant to say was that if we educate them well enough then they will understand what they have to do to stay healthy. And I don’t mean to just say it once, really imprint it into their minds and show them horrible pictures of what they can become and movies about peoples life being ruined by fat and such things. Yes I think that scaring the kids can help a little bit. Not all the way, but a little bit.

So tell me what you think.
Do you think Sweden are lazy as fuck and should have more PE? How much? Two-three times a day or everyday?
Is after school activities enough?
Am I too cold hearted towards the kids?

Now I have not only talked about the small kids, I mean all kids from 1st grade all the way up to high school. And I finished high school just half a year ago so I still remember the pain of PE xD

Now I shall leave you all :3 Hope you enjoyed my ranting. Peace out!

Old topic, new view


 How come my post Swedish swearwords/curses has been the top post since the day I wrote it exactly 6 months ago? Is that the main reason you people are visiting my blog? xD
Everyone wants to know curses in other languages so they can use it against their parents. Totally understandable ^^

No, I didn’t write two times in one day just to talk about peoples weird habits of wanting to know as many curses as possible. I came here again today because I read one of my old posts from 6 months ago where I told you that I were very confused with my mental gender. So I thought, maybe I should tell them that I’m not so confused anymore.

Don’t get me wrong, I am still not completely certain, but for the moment this explanation seems completely logical to me. Maybe in two years I will be the opposite of what I am today, since you change as you grow x3

I am an asexual non gender who feels romantically attracted to both girls and guys.  (My gender identity, how I feel on the inside is non gender, but my body gender is female. Since there is people born as non genders who are both girls and guys biologically I just wanted to make sure no one got confused.)

This can be very confusing for some people. (I don’t know what’s confusing with it but apparently it is)
Asexual means that you aren’t sexually interested in any gender. NO SEX!
Non gender means that you don’t think of yourself as any gender. (I often wear guy clothes and tries to look like a guy, but I don’t see myself as a guy nor a girl)
And I feel attracted to people, but in a romantic way and not a sexual way. So I can be in a relationship, but I won’t have sex. (Will probably end up as an old lonely lady with ten cats and blue hair.)

So now you know, After six months (or 19 years) of confusion, I have found my true identity!! (kind of)
Sooo, now I guess I will go on like usual and not talk about it again…. I don’t even know why I am writing this …

By the way, I made a friend from… Somewhere in the world (I forgot which country she lives in xD I got to know it on the day when I had been up all night so I were in the same state as a drunk person, not my fault) drop her jaw for two minutes. I showed her a picture of when I were a baby, and a picture from when I were twelve and one taken just a year ago or something like that x3 Which I will show you right now :D


Sooo, did you drop your jaw? DID YOU DID YOU DID YOU? I were so cuteeee and now… Now I’m just awesome x3 *Prussia has taken over my mind*

Btw, found this today and thought it was awesome :D Go to deviantart and favorite if you also think it’s awesome ^^
