The Double Standards Around Women Expressing Anxiety
Featured Nov 1The Double Standards Around Women Expressing Anxiety

Join Jessica in examining the double standards in how society perceives women’s anxiety, particularly when it’s expressed as anger. While traditional expressions of anxiety like worry receive compassion, angry responses – especially from marginalized women – often lead to criticism. Jessica advocates for a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive approach that acknowledges anger as a legitimate reaction rooted in past experiences.

She encourages everyone to validate all forms of emotional expression, challenge harmful stereotypes, and engage in open conversations. In doing so, we can work towards creating a more inclusive space where women aren’t left questioning if they will be rejected, excluded, or face punitive responses for expressing themselves, authentically.
