About this episode

TW: This episode includes mentions of self-harm, sexual assault and suicide, as well as references to violence, so if any of these topics are even remotely triggering to you, definitely skip this ep & join us for one of our future ones <3


this episode is the first in our 'researchy' series where we dig into a topic we want to know more about and share with you what we learn! and as the title says we dug into our female RAGE this week. we discuss the definition of the term, why it's become popular, mentions of female rage in the media and also some of the limitations the discourse on this topics have (i.e. lack of intersectionality and very binary way of viewing the world).


pour yourself a cup of scalding hot tea/red wine (really any beverage that makes you feel powerfully vengeful will do hehe) & join us in this discussion 🍷😤
