 The debate moved to the political arena when a government member of parliament, Camilla Lindberg (Liberal) (Dalarna) and Opposition member Marianne Berg (Left) (Malmö) published a bi-partisan article in "Expressen", stating that the law did not protect women, but rather, hurt them, by reinforcing patriarchal attitudes towards women's control of their sexuality.Berg was criticised within her own party by Karin Rågsjö in a party newsletter.Criticism also came from Gudrun Schyman of Feministiskt initiativ, and in an editorial in Linberg's own constituency.
