Even in gender-conscious Sweden, Borgstrom has raised eyebrows for speaking out so strongly against the male norms he says still pervade Swedish society.
He has said all men bear a collective responsibility for the fact that some men abuse women. In 2006, he even proposed that Sweden withdraw from soccer's World Cup because of an expected surge in the sex trade in host nation Germany, where prostitution is legal.
"What happens during the World Cup is that women are imported - in the full sense of the word - to meet the demands from the men going there to buy sex," Borgstrom told Swedish TV at the time.
His proposal was rejected by the Swedish soccer federation and Sweden took part in the tournament as planned.
Mr Borgstrom has previously described his passion for women's rights and equality as bordering on an obsession.
"Now that I really have put on my 'gender goggles' I see everything through them," he was quoted as saying in 2004 by the tabloid Aftonbladet.
A 2009 study funded by the European Commission found Sweden had the highest rate of reported sex offences among 24 European countries - 47 per 100,000 citizens - though only 10 per cent led to convictions.
The high number of complaints doesn't necessarily mean rape is more common in Sweden but that victims are just more likely to step forward, Mr Borgstrom said.
"We have better knowledge than other countries in the field of gender equality," he said. "That also means women don't accept certain things in the same way they do in other countries."


Will there be a day that the majority of men will see the same way as Mr. Borgstrom?
In name of all the abused women and children that suffer every day in this world we need good men to step up, and help the world to become a fair and better place to millions of women and children.
Children labor, slavery and many other rights were conquered in many countries and humanity evolved.
I just hope that one day men,women and children will be treated equally in the media, school, home, work, the court of law and they can say at last discrimination has ended.
