Sedlighetsdebatten (Morality debate), was the name for a cultural movement and public debate in Scandinavia in the 1880s, were sexuality and sexual moral was discussed through cultural mediums such as papers, magazines, books and theater plays. The topic was criticism of the contemporary sexual double standards, in which it was socially acceptable for men to have premarital sexual experience, while women were expected to be virgins; and the contemporary view on prostitution, which was sanctioned as a "necessary evil" because of this double standard, an issue that had been raised by the Svenska Federationen in 1878. The debate was divided in two sides: the moderate one, were Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson was the most known representative, wished to solve this double standard by demanding that men also be virgins on their wedding night, as women were. The radical one, were Edvard Brandes and Georg Brandes was the most known representatives, demanded that also women be free to enjoy a sexual life prior to marriage, the same men that men did. Getting Married (collection) By August Strindberg and the legal court case that surrounded it was one of the perhaps most known incidents during the debate. It also caused a debate within the literary world whether literature should touch these questions at all. ==References== * Franka Gebert, Den stora nordiska sedlighetsdebatten, Riksteatern, 2008. pdf * Nationalencyklopedin: Sedlighetsdebatten 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sedlighetsdebatten」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
