Remember when Trump called a woman journalist a “piggy”? How did that make you feel? Angry?
You’re not alone, especially if you’re a woman. Dr Pragya Agarwal says women’s anger has been rising over the past decade, with research suggesting the “emotion gap” between men and women is widening too.
Women’s anger, she argues, is not a personal failing but a response to very specific pressures – from rights being rolled back, to unpaid care work, to everyday harassment.
Yet in public debate, that anger is still more likely to be reframed as “burnout”, “stress” or “being difficult” than taken seriously as a sign something is wrong.
So what do we do with it? Agarwal points to community and turning anger into collective action, not just private coping.
