“I understand that people react to my views”

Urban Nyman says he understands why people have reacted to his views after his comments about men and women on SVT's Gift vid första ögonkastet drew sharp criticism.

In the second episode, Nyman, 36, told his partner that he did not want "his woman" to have male friends. More than 70 complaints were filed with Sweden's Review Board for Broadcasting after the episode aired.

The debate has also focused on the men's movement in which Nyman is active. "There is no single answer for how a man should live," he told Svenska Dagbladet.

Psychologist Anna Bennich, who is an expert on the program, criticized the remarks during an appearance with Nyman on TV4's Nyhetsmorgon. She called the statement problematic and said the disputed scene could be interpreted as psychological violence.
