“It ain’t over
I’m not done! “
Fever Ray
It's a tale about women’s protesting — a quiet, intimate one at home, the kind we take to the streets, and the one that finds its way to the court of justice.
We learn at a very young age that anger is something bad and we shouldn’t express it, especially not women! And definitely not in times of “good vibes only” culture btw. Toxic as fuck!
I believe anger motivates people to change. Anger is one of the basic human emotions like sadness, happiness, fear, surprise or disgust.
“Anger is a powerful and healthy force in your life, it is good you feel it you should feel it!” Ryan Martin - Anger researcher
I’m Polish, and by birth I’m allowed to be angry but it is not guilt free.
The Legacy of Badassery
Anger can be currency when angry people unite in their frustration. Women's anger can become a catalyst for action and reform. Without the anger of women—without those challenging, unconventional women who refused to obey societal norms and accept an unjust status quo—we wouldn't have progress. It's because of these fearless women, these everyday pissed off witches, that change has been possible.
