I just want to say, I'm also from Sweden, grown up outside of a smaller town, I do not feel safe if I'm not in central central Stockholm, Copenhagen or Göteborg. If there isn't 100s of people around I won't feel safe, because If I scream where I grew up, no-one will notice it.
No judgement, but I do not believe this to be normal for Swedish women, especially in smaller towns.
Maybe not, shared my experience as a Swedish woman though ☺️
Yeah and thank you for doing so, it's a nice thing about the internet that it can help you get out of your own bubble a bit.
