Oh, really, the Hologic Global Women’s Health Index? Oh really? British women are amongst the angriest in Europe, are they? A quarter of them reported feelings of rage in your annual survey, compared to just one in seven on the continent, are they? Why don’t you get back out there with your clipboards and your little pencils and tell me something I don’t know?
I’m sorry. It appears the new findings on fury may have an element of truth in them.
That 25 per cent of us are consumed by wrath compared to an average of 14 per cent across EU countries, or that 47 per cent of us describe ourselves as more likely to feel rage this year than last, surprises me only in a way that makes me ask: “Who are the missing 75 and 53 per cent, what are they taking and where can I get some?”
Though the findings have just been released, the survey of 76,232 women and girls was taken in 2024. And women are still angry, because since 2024, things have arguably got worse.
The answer to the question of why UK women are so angry is a deeply complex one, so settle down, get comfortable and lean in.
