Fragile Democracy I: The Invalidation Of Women's Anger And The Arrest Of Resego Kgosidintsi

She says, especially for women and girls we are taught that anger is silent, isolating and destructive. This is despite the fact that anger is a signal emotion which warns us of indignity, threat, insult or harm. Yet we are taught that it is an emotion reserved for men and boys.
