I enjoyed your article. I think that watching the abusers, cheaters, and the like in these shows is a safe way to disperse the rage we sometimes feel.
I hope that one day, as women continue to rise up and be counted, these types of shows will be tales of old... holding little interest other than a warning not to backslide...
Couldn’t agree more Patricia! I hope that in the future, there is less injustice for us to be angry about! As of now, seeing accurate portrayals onscreen is incredibly cathartic.
I just wrote about this in my newsletter today! I was inspired by Eve Babitz’s Sex and Rage. It really is an interesting trope that I turn to over and over (what does that say about me…)
Haha you’re definitely not alone in being drawn to women rage - I feel you! Would love to check out your piece as well as that one by Eve Babitz - I haven’t read it!

One day. 🙏

Sleeping with the enemy with Julia Roberts was another good one.
Love Julia Roberts 🤩 adding to my watchlist!
