Yes, it is similar in every Western country these days, but in Sweden, this phenomenon has been present for longer. Sweden transitioned into a left-leaning, socialist, and feministic nation earlier than most other European countries, probably because they could afford to do so as they weren't significantly involved in World War II. Financial success breeds complacency in the general population. As the saying goes, "Good times breed weak men, weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men," and so on. The same phenomenon has caused the rise and fall of every successful nation and empire.
On a positive note, because Sweden started this "complacency/softening process" earlier than many other first-world nations, they may be one of the first to break out of its chains as well.
It's quite likely that this reversal to traditional manly virtues, such as bravery, resilience, etc, is more commonly embraced by young Swedes today than by young Americans. While Americans will have grandparents with such virtues, you have to go back an additional generation to find Swedes possessing them.
