Too spicy for Soylent: Norway teaches migrants about Western women
Should Western relationship norms be taught to migrants? The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme attended a controversial class in Norway that aims to teach asylum seekers how to interact with women.
"When you move to another country, there will be different cultural codes compared to what you are used to," says instructor Margareth Berg. "And that will be codes that are not written or spoken about. Somebody has got to tell them what is normal behaviour."
In 2009, a spate of rapes by migrant men in Norway prompted the introduction of the controversial classes for refugees. Incidents of mass sexual assault by gangs of men in the German city of Cologne at the new year shone a light on this approach. Now, other European countries are thinking of introducing similar training.
The class in Haugesund, in west Norway, is no longer just about rape prevention. Now, it includes discussions around communicating with the opposite sex, boundaries, domestic violence, and what to do if you witness a sexual assault. Public awareness videos about rape are also shown.
It lasts four hours, and is not compulsory - although many refugees take it as part of a series of courses offered to new arrivals, including language courses and help with finding work. In this class, most are Syrian, but there are also some Iraqis and Afghans.

Men, aren't you glad you sought refuge? Oh sure you might find a job and get paid, but you're never getting laid.

Be spineless. Be obedient. Respect women, or else! Any man who dares to disagree with a woman is a misogynist who must be utterly destroyed.

Me thinks the 'rapey' problem stems from immigrant men disagreeing with a woman's views on sex - specifically the 'surprise' part of 'surprise-sex'.
Just popped-out of a tight spot. Came out mostly clean, too.
