"挪威採取大膽方法解決性騷擾問題"

看樣子，改善糟糕性別關係最有效的方法是讓他們距離彼此更近。

由於軍隊中性騷擾事件層出不窮，挪威決定要採取頗為奇特的方法來遏止此種問題。不如你我預期會在此情形採取的行動：將男女分開，挪威軍方反而強迫男女兵睡在同一間房。儘管這仍在實驗階段，性騷擾的情形據報因為新政策而已經減少。

據說無性別房間有效用是因為他們能夠促進「去性別化」，讓性別差異比較不成問題，並且進而改善隊伍士氣。女性士兵也說共用房間有助於讓她們覺得像是「男兵中的一員」。

這不是挪威軍方第一次採取此種大膽的舉動。他們也執行了一週一日素食的規定，以對抗全球暖化，並允許男性士兵留長頭髮，前提是要紮成馬尾或是梳成辮子。

(Culture) Norway Takes Bold Approach to Sexual Harassment

Apparently, the most effective way to improve poor gender relations is by putting them even closer together.

In the wake of the epidemic of sexual harassment in the military, Norway has decided to take a rather odd approach to curb the problem. Rather than separating men and women, as one might expect in such a situation, the Norwegian military has forced male and female solders to sleep in the same room. Although it is still in an experimental phase, incidents of sexual harassment have reportedly decreased already as a result of the new policy.

It is said that the unisex rooms work because they can facilitate degenderization, making gender differences less of an issue, and in turn improve team morale. The female soldiers also say the shared rooms help them feel like one of the boys.

This is not the first daring move undertaken by the Norwegian military. There is also a one-day-per-week vegetarian food rule in place to fight climate change, and male soldiers are allowed to grow their hair long provided it is kept in a ponytail or braids.
