Summer Comments July 6: Angry pushes the program of Katarina Wennstam

Less than a minute after the beginning of Katarina Wennstam's program, it is clear that it will not be a common summer rhythm, a little trivial, but with a lot of darkness.

This program is motivated by anger. Author and journalist Katarina Wennstam has long written and discussed the violence of men against women and the right of women to sexuality. That this program could be about something else was unthinkable, especially after Metoo.

And that's where Wennstam takes off. During the program period, the listener will follow a cut-off path from the Metoe fall (where the Swedish Academy will obviously throw) to violence against women and how their bodies are exploited even after death. It portrays hope, despair, progress and backlash – and all the while anger shines beneath the surface. Her voice is rocky and effective because she represents the moment of anger, in a rape trial where she felt for the first time that the girl was accused of something that a man was undergoing.

The biggest opportunity of the program is when it reads out a long, painful list of synonyms for a woman who has had many sexual partners. She reads and reads, the waning words never end. Sixty synonyms will end

Then she turns to the prospect, saying that we speak little of contempt men who permeate society. What do we think of men if we think that they stop functioning as human beings, and can not control their sexuality or aggression just because they are watching their pants a little?

But in the middle of this suddenly came some memories of education, a beloved grandmother and mother rolls. Perhaps because a summer rhythm "should" be personal, perhaps because she wants to deepen the story by making it personal.

And, of course, it is also interesting to listen to, but suddenly the program and the glow spread. Katarina Wennstam is the best when she is angry, and even though her summer cat – as soon as he became a fiery figure – stands out in the little childhood stories, he was won

every day, and released as podd at seven the same morning. Here you can read the comments of DN on the programs as they are sent.
