Abstract: Abstract I open the women’s magazine I just bought in the supermarket. The feature story is about Michelle, a well-known host from the respected debate program on Denmark’s intellectual TV channel. To her viewers, Michelle represents professionalism, insight, and competence. Her questions are always sharp, and her demeanor calmly self-assured. Now she is on the front page of this magazine under the headline “Anxiety Took Over.”
