Podcasts about women's anger

In this first episode of Why We Get Mad, Ryan talks with Dr. Christine Smith, Social Psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay about anger and gender. Dr. Smith is a social psychologists and former chair of the UW-Green Bay Women's and Gender Studies program. Why We Get Mad is a special series of the Psychology and Stuff Podcast where Ryan talks with experts on different aspects of the anger experience. From psychologists to historians to artists, the show will cover all the different reasons we get mad and how we can use that anger in positive ways.

In Jan. 2017, millions of marchers all over the United States came together in what may have been the largest single day of protest in U.S. history. Later that year, the #MeToo movement — which had begun quietly more than a decade earlier — began to snowball. And in 2018, a record number of women were elected to public office in the U.S.

In this podcast, which is actually an interview he gave in June of 2019, Javier speaks to Kit Maloney and Rachel Sizemore about women's anger. The interview turns into a Master Class on embracing our emotions rather than further suppress them and offers very simple tools to honor our emotions in safe, simple, and meaningful ways. This interview was given soon after the completion of Javier's second dieta with the Toe' plant, which is why it is included here as part of the presentation of his new book about this powerful Plant Teacher.

On this week's episode of Inside the Hive, co-host Joe Hagan talks to Rebecca Traister, author of "Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger," about the Joe Biden/Tara Reade imbroglio, analyzing the thorny implications for the former VP's female allies, the problem with the #believewomen movement, and how Joe Biden might have better handled the allegation that he sexually assaulted Reade 27 years ago. Whatever Biden's shortcomings, the feminist columnist for The Cut vows she'll "crawl over broken glass" to vote for him in November. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joe Biden has promised to tap a woman for his VP pick. But allegations against him by a former staffer are creating a difficult situation for those hoping to share the ticket. On Today's Show: Rebecca Traister, writer-at-large for New York Magazine and the author of, most recently, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger (Simon & Schuster, 2018), talks about Biden, his yet-to-be-selected VP candidate and the known unknowns of Tara Reade's claims.

How will women vote in 2020? What will happen with down-ballot elections? And what do Maine voters truly think of Senator Susan Collins? Rebecca Traister, who has written about women in politics at length, joined Errol ahead of Super Tuesday to try to answer those questions. She talks about the role of women’s rage in politics, warns about the media’s intense focus on the race for the White House and analyzes the different campaigns, including Elizabeth Warren’s. She also explores what we should learn from the 2018 midterm elections as we head deeper into the primary season. And she discusses her recent profile in New York Magazine of Maine Senator Susan Collins.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Do you have any thoughts or questions for Errol?

Women are often dismissed or silenced when coming forward in the public eye with their pain, particularly women of color. We’ve adopted this matriarchal mindset that women’s trauma, experiences, and emotions are invalid, but we need to come together as women to break that perception, now more than ever.  Sara and Misasha dissect how the justice system has wrongfully unacknowledged women of color, along with special guest, domestic violence, sexual assault, and sexual abuse survivor, Mary Ryan.  Mary reveals her personal experiences as a trauma survivor, and how the justice system has consistently dismissed her case.  Tune into this conversation for unique insight on how we can shift the division between women to not only embrace one another’s pain, no matter how personal it may be, and how we can start to break down the barriers that isolated women from the beginning.  This recorded-live episode from the 2020’s Womxn’s March Denver is full of insightful and enlightening thoughts that you can reflect on and apply to your own life! Show Highlights:  We need to align as women before anything else in order to create a safer society for women and children.  Sara and Misasha address the issues with idealizing whiteness and dismissing women of color as victims What inhibits women of color from coming forward as victims of rape and why white women should care  There are various factors that mediate sexism and race should be acknowledged when talking about gender equality  Women’s rights are under attack and women need to create an alliance by listening to each-others pain openly  Mary Ryan shares her experiences as a domestic violence, sexual assault, and sexual abuse survivor Mary discusses how the justice system has blatantly ignored her and her families’ trauma Mary endured multiple break-in encounters and restraining order violations from her abuser, who is a white male and has still been unacknowledged in her case  Indigenous people have been consistently dismissed in assault cases and there are barriers we need to break down and dissect in order to improve how we address these issues In order for healing to happen as a society, we have to open ourselves up to listen to others experiences, no matter how painful it may be  Challenging public binaries and embracing women’s defiance  Links:  Resources / Links: PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RATE & REVIEW US!

Why is anger a particularly challenging emotion to acknowledge and express for women? Many of us grew up in a culture or a home that discouraged any expression of anger or discontent. We learned to suppress our darker emotions, drive them down deep, and sacrifice our needs to be the peacekeepers in the home and at work. How did women get to this point historically, and what can we do to reframe anger so that we can use it to attain personal and political freedom against injustice, create safe boundaries, & validate our experiences? In this episode, you will hear accomplished panelists discussing the historical supression of women’s anger in literature, art, psychology, sports, and media. This is our special recording of the Anger For Change Panel put together to address women’s hidden anger in our local community. Inspired by Soraya Chemaly’s book, Rage Becomes Her, we confirm women’s anger as a powerful instrument for social and political change. Panelists include artist/LGBQTIA activist-Sarah Rutledge Fischer, psychotherapist-Dr. Katie Penry, and PhD student-Jillian Rosandich, along with FemmSouth hosts Leigh & Amaya.

Women are taught from birth to repress their rage. But what would happen if women learnt to embrace anger, and unleash it upon the world? At All About Women 2019 writer and activist Soraya Chemaly called for an ungendering of emotion for the benefit of everybody. In this rousing session hosted by Fauziah Ibrahim she discusses ways women can joyfully express and find power in their rage.

Soraya Chemaly is the author of the critically-acclaimed book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Womens’ Anger, and that’s exactly what we’re talking about today: women’s anger, its power, and why this anger is often misunderstood and mistreated in society. We also chat about the tropes associate with angry women (eg. the “angry black woman,” the “crazy white lady,” and “the fiery Latina,”) and dive into how dangerous it can be—both personally and politically—for women to suppress their anger. Mica also confesses some discomfort she's been feeling over negative generalizations made about cis white men, to which Soraya responds that its important to consider who's discomfort we're choosing to centre. There is sooo much to learn in this episode. What an honour it was to have Soraya—a political and intellectual powerhouse—on the show!

Welcome to Heels of Justice; these are the stories of women lawyers who are trailblazers in their field and paved the way for the rest of us. Today, the Heels of Justice interview Dahlia Lithwick bio to come by the client.   Key Takeaways [:34] Katherine welcomes Dahlia Lithwick a writer and law journalist, to the Heels of Justice podcast. [1:24] Katherine asks Dahlia when, how and why she became interested in the law. [4:17] Did Dahlia end up following her interest in children’s advocacy policy through law school? And what happened after law school? [5:44] Dahlia shares that she quit law school after her first year and why she went back. [8:00] What does clerking “on and off” mean? [9:48] On the sometimes jargony nature of legal writing, and the necessary humility in writing about the law for lay audience. [15:12] “Read the briefs, translate the briefs, and write about what happened to the law.” There is no need for an ego. [15:45] Is there something about women that makes more inclined to egoless work? [21:19] The powerful effect of women role-modeling, and creating the ‘giants’ on whose shoulders future generations can stand. [23:31] Katherine asks what has surprised Dahlia about the Supreme Court, or rather what might surprise us? [26:09] On the real humans behind the memes and subordinating ego. [32:00] Dahlia’s thoughts on the inner strengths that bring women into law in the face of celebrity culture and anger. [34:50] The rewards of diligence, accuracy, and passionate commitment to truth. [37:10] Katherine asks how Dahlia reconciles the idea that women are currently being the RBG of tomorrow and the stereotypical narratives about women being too mean or too aggressive. [38:40] Is three the magic number? [41:30] Katherine asks Dahlia if there ever was a moment when she advocated for herself. [46:00] A moment of failure for Dahlia and the path she took to recover. [49:25] A guy would do it, and your value is not your job! [53:07] Katherine asks if Dahlia would have any advice for her law school self. [57:49] Katherine thanks Dahlia for participating on the Heels of Justice podcast, and she signs off until next time.   That’s it for this episode of Heels of Justice, if you like the stories we’re telling, please visit our website.

I just went at, her trying to re-litigate the amount.”   “The answer is to just have so many damn women at such high levels of achievement that you can’t say ooh, look at that weird girl anymore … It’s such a long haul answer to give you, and I think it’s going to require women also speaking out, writing the op-eds, pushing back and just being willing to say ‘not every time a woman speaks is she shrill, not every time a woman advocates for herself is she a bitch.’ Doing what I’ve sort of described as this massive team sport.

This week we were joined by guest host Vicky, who loves dogs (she has 3) and books. We discussed: The 1834 Poor Law, which ensured that the poor were housed in workhouses, clothed and fed.

In return for this care, all workhouse paupers would have to work for several hours each day. - UK National Archives Italians with white mice - In the 1820s/1830s Italian men were wandering the streets of London & other cities as organ grinders, accompanied by boys with trained monkeys and mice who performed tricks. - Literature Network Forums Palate cleansers: Vicky - "Joe Gould's Teeth" by Jill Leopore Megan - Black Klansman film and the book "Black Klansman: race, hate, and the undercover investigation of a lifetime" by Ron Stallworth; "Sociable: a Novel" by Rebecca Harrington; "Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger" by Soraya Chemaly Pete - "Black Leopard Red Wolf" by Marlon James Alex - is between books and was bereft of anything to share this week, but will come back next time having found lots of new things to read.

Anger is a powerful emotion -- it warns us of threat, insult, indignity and harm. But across the world, girls and women are taught that their anger is better left unvoiced, says author Soraya Chemaly. Why is that, and what might we lose in this silence? In a provocative, thoughtful talk, Chemaly explores the dangerous lie that anger isn't feminine, showing how women's rage is justified, healthy and a potential catalyst for change.

Author Rebecca Traister joins Ashley to answer reader letters on how to move forward when they're filled with rage over everything from politics to #MeToo. Traister is the author of All the Single Ladies and, out this month Good and Mad, about the catalytic power of women's anger.

The most important voting rights issue on the ballot in 2018 is restoring the voting rights of 1.4 million ex-felons in Florida--and it seems likely to pass. An initiative on the ballot there would repeal one of country's worst Jim Crow laws. Sasha Abramsky has that story. Also: the political power of women’s anger: Rebecca Traister has been thinking about that. Her new book is called “Good and Mad.” .

Rebecca Traister sees in the Kavanaugh hearings a typical case where women’s anger was marginalized or made to sound hysterical or infantile or threatening—but men’s anger was taken to be valid and righteous. But that is changing, she argues: women’s anger increasingly is “in the beating heart of many political and social movements.” Her new book is Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger. Also: David Cay Johnston talks about the “Mountain of Tax Cheating” by Donald Trump, as exposed in the massive New York Times report on where Trump’s money came from, and the violations of tax laws in his past. David is a Pulitzer-prize winning reporter who has written for the New York Times and the L.A. Times and is now editor of DCReport.org. Plus: what the Democrats can do about newly-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh when they win the House in November and take control of the Judiciary Committee in January: John Nichols talks about investigations that could lead to the filing of articles of impeachment.

Landing a year into the #MeToo movement, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger is timely. Written by the feminist journalist Rebecca Traister, the book combines an analysis of the ways in which women’s anger is discouraged, with a historical look at moments when that anger has had political implications. Traister spoke with David Remnick of The New Yorker Radio Hour.

From #MeToo to Brett Kavanaugh, we have a lot to be mad about. Rebecca Traister is back to discuss her new book exploring the social and historical power of women's anger. When women get angry, movements form and revolutions spark. See: Rosa Parks, Florynce Kennedy, Maxine Waters, and many more sheroes. We discuss rage-crying, the specific history of white women's tears, the lasting impact of Professor Anita Hill, and who has room to express their rage today. No wonder we're told to keep our anger to ourselves. Reading List: Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger by Rebecca Traister is on sale now.

New York Magazine writer — and former Salon journalist — Rebecca Traister makes the case that women have used their rage to change the course of history in her new book, “Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger,” available now. Women have been told that their rage is unattractive, unhealthy, overblown, and shrill, but, Traister argues, those claims are bad faith efforts to scare women into silence. She had the privilege to marinate in women’s anger for the four months it took to write the book, she says, and she slept well and felt healthy — perhaps the healthiest she’s ever been. * * * About “Salon Talks” Hosted by Salon journalists, “Salon Talks” episodes offer a fresh take on the long-form interview format, and a much-needed break from the partisan political talking heads that have come to dominate the genre. “Salon Talks” is a destination for information through conversation.

Why did Christine Blasey Ford have to smile and politely ask for breaks while Brett Kavanaugh could rage at the cameras and dismiss the hearings as a farce? The answer is in Rebecca Traister’s essential, perfectly timed new book, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger. It’s a book, Traister writes, about how anger works for men in ways it doesn’t for women. I happened to read it the weekend before the Kavanaugh/Ford hearings, and it was eerily prescient: The book was essential to understanding not only what I was seeing at the hearings but, as importantly, what I wasn’t seeing. My conversation with Traister is about those hearings, but about much more too: When is anger constructive and important? Can it tie us together, rather than just pulling us apart? How is the #MeToo movement navigating the fact that sometimes the people it’s angry about are also the people it loves — that our bad guys are also our good guys, as Traister puts it? And what does it mean to see each other in our full humanity, including in our angry humanity?   Recommended books and essays: Intercourse by Andrea Dworkin The Uses of Anger by Audre Lorde The Power by Naomi Alderman  Learn more about your ad choices.

The punishments women receive for not appearing sufficiently deferential are steep.
