Why is “female rage” all the rage?
From Olympic controversy to pop culture to public safety, are we living in a new era of female disillusionment? After U.S. President Donald Trump’s congratulatory call to the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team sparked backlash, the moment quickly escalated into a broader cultural debate. This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir asks 96.9 JACK FM’s Christy Farrell (a lifelong hockey player herself) what the moment revealed about sexism in sport. Then, is “female rage” just a trend, or a deeper cultural shift? Canadian Screen Award–winning comedian Julie Kim, host of the Bothered podcast, unpacks why stories about women being fed up — across film, television, and best-selling books — are resonating so strongly right now. And finally, criminal defence lawyer Kyla Lee explains the legal risks facing women who are increasingly carrying prohibited items, such as bear spray, for personal safety. What does Canadian law actually allow when it comes to self-defence?
