Women’s rage is at an all-time high, and I’m not surprised

A new poll has found women are getting angrier. Not just here in the UK but the world over. In 150 countries, during the last 10 years, the fury has been growing from a simmering “WTF” to an all-out red-hot rage. A decade ago men and women reported the same levels of anger and stress. Yet 10 years later and the women surveyed are angrier than men by some margin — and it’s been worse since the pandemic.

So what’s happened? Are women really filled with more fury than before or, rather, have we just found our voice? I’m afraid to say, from where I’m standing, there is a lot to be angry about.
