Melanie Lynskey who plays Shauna in the hit show Yellowjackets, says she relates to her character’s struggle to contain her anger. “I had a therapist once say something about, ‘You’re scared that if you even let a little bit of it out, it’ll just never stop.’”So we did our best to keep it in.

Total BS. The reason why men generally die earlier from heart attacks & strokes is precisely is because they rage through lack of self control. We should see the same conditions rise in women with this dumb advice.
You haven't met my wife
The anger should be directed at those who promised them they could have it all, and disparage motherhood to become as cool and soulless as men. I think they call themselves feminists.
Women need to get over themselves .
Women don't seem to have any issue expressing anger. I think you have confused them with sloths.
