The internet isn’t just making us dumb, it’s making us angry. And it is women who are among the fastest adopters for venting their rage online.
There’s plenty of fodder to fuel righteous female fury. There’s the social and political structures that contribute to violence against women, the gender pay gap, and a lack of autonomy over reproductive choices for a kick-off.
Then there are the domestic battles over who does the majority of the housework, who shoulders the most responsibility for parenting, financial pressure and unfulfilled relationships.
There is also the more personal anger by women who feel they do not fit into our narrow definition of beauty, or who feel they have become invisible as they age.
Embracing the full spectrum of feelings is healthy, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with anger per se.
Yet is choosing to express this care only through rage good for women long-term plan or bring about the changes desired?
