In 2015, a study about jury deliberation bias conducted at Arizona State University found that “when men expressed their opinion with anger, participants rated them as more credible, which made them less confident in their own opinion. But when women expressed identical arguments and anger, they were perceived as more emotional, which made participants more confident in their own opinion.” The same can be said in the context of movies. Cinema loves angry men but it doesn’t quite know what to do with angry women.
