If you've ever been told you "scream like a girl", are a "spoilt princess",  or "be a good girl" - then this episode is for you.

Because .. those sayings are bullshit.

Soraya Chemaly is a writer, feminist, activist and best-selling author of Rage Becomes Her.

She reveals the power of women's rage.

Soraya explains that if you suppress your rage, it makes you physically sick.

It takes a toll on your relationships.

When researching for her book Rage Becomes Her, Soraya uncovered the impact of race and gender on rage.

For men - they're allowed to be angry.

It's expected of them.

Rewarded even.

But - men are not allowed to be sad.

For women?

This is what our society and culture tells us.

But Soraya argues that emotions shouldn't be gendered.

We all feel the full spectrum of emotions, and when you suppress them, it negatively impacts your whole life.
