You’ve no doubt chatted with your girlfriends about times you’ve been annoyed, frustrated or stressed—but chances are you didn’t express your anger when you felt it.
“Is there a socially acceptable way for women to admit or even acknowledge that they’re angry? I think historically the answer is no,” says Vproud founder Karen Cahn, who delved into the topic with a group of female influencers for this week’s episode of “You’re Not Crazy,” a video series that tackles various mental-health issues affecting women.
In part of her standup in the video, comedian Leah Bonnema talks about “falling from grace” while having a meltdown during her commute. “Just the fact that she calls it ‘falling from grace’ instead of ‘getting angry’ is so fascinating,” says Cahn.
