In my video essay I explore how films and social media are challenging traditional notions of femininity by portraying characters who express unconventional emotions like anger and vengeance. These narratives offer solace to real-life women by providing alternative representations of female identity. My video also touches on the importance of expressing these emotions and how they can be a driving force for personal or societal progress.
Here is the link to it, hopefully it works properly. Enjoy! <3

I really liked your video essay! Thank you for bringing up this topic! I had seen the TikTok video before and felt sad because society often treats people differently based on gender. It reminds me of the quote from Barbie in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBqlDWHkdHk.
Women are expected to follow implicit rules to maintain a rigid image of femininity. That’s why I’m so glad to see creators highlighting the diverse emotions of women, rather than reducing them to being “emotional.”
