About Paper:

This thesis talks about the gendered perceptions of anger in political discourse, focusing on how women's emotional expressions, particularly anger, are received in the public media. It begins by defining anger as both a personal and political emotion, showing how societal and cultural forces influence the ways in which women's feelings are interpreted in political contexts. In particular, the thesis considers how emotions like anger are pathologized when expressed by women, drawing connections to social movements such as #MeToo, which challenges the idea of female behavior in power structures. The study contrasts masculine rage, often deemed acceptable or even necessary in political rhetoric, with the portrayal of women's anger as irrational and dangerous. Key case studies of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris showcases how these gendered expectations manifest in real-world political scenarios, such as the media's portrayal of Clinton's emotional expression during the 2016 election and the racialized and gendered scrutiny of Harris during her vice-presidential campaign and tenure. shape political participation, leadership, and the broader discourse on power and representation.
