This is pretty unsurprising, as we're talking about Sweden here. This is the country that stopped gender quotas got universities once they reached 60% women and started getting sued by women who were rejected by programs in favor of ostensibly equally-qualified men. Though it doesn't mesh well with my personal ethics/philosophy, I'm not a die-hard opponent of identity-based tweaks to merit-based systems and think that support in some situations is at least defensible. But Ive seen little to indicate that there's any pretense of intellectual honesty or moral consistency in Sweden's approach to gender politics, beyond simply a special interest group throwing their weight around.

Regardless of what it is, this is just mean and unjust. People are being essentially punished for crimes they didn't commit.
