The writer of the first article (actually a book review) in Weekendavisen
that started this debate was Lotte Hedeager, professor of archaeology. Per
Rønne, who obviously did not know that name, wondered if she might be a

I said nothing about Erik Tunstad or his gender or his riposte to Hedeager's
review.
