15: WOMEN AND ANGER: AUTHENTICITY MEANS ALL THE FEELINGS
Women are taught from early on that anger is ugly and inappropriate. Certainly not ladylike. On this week’s episode we take a close look at what it means to be angry as a woman, as a parent, as a member of our society. We discuss what we were told about anger as children and how that influenced how we showed ourselves to the world. Suppressing anger can be dangerous, both to an individual and society and yet we continue to reward women for hiding their anger. Why is anger so important? Why is a necessary feeling disregarded for women? Why is anger so threatening? Join us as we dig deep to answer these questions. As Soraya Chemaly says, “A society that does not respect women’s anger is one that does not respect women, not as human beings, thinkers, knowers, active participants, or citizens.” We are building a limitless society and to do so we must allow anger its place.
