Hello Argentina :)
One thing that seems very hard to understand in other countries is the general trust of the government in Sweden. Over and over again during the pandemic, we had to explain that we don't lock people up, they will listen to the recommendations.
And it is probably the same thing here.
I am hoping (since my general intention is to be optimistically-naive) is that the reboot will get rid of a lot of the abuse. There sure was a heap of that in the 90s. Particularly for the odd women that choose to serve. Nothing tangible that i know of, but just the regular "locker room talk" as a self-proclaimed land-father-figure would call it.
It probably also helps that we have not been at war for 200 years. And for our neighbors Norway and in particular, they fought a purely defensive war for survival during WWII, so their motivation is probably even higher.
