A recent data indicates that women are getting angrier every year over the last ten years. This statement comes from the BBC analysis of the survey of Gallup World Poll. Since 2012, the Gallup World Poll has conducted an annual survey with over 120,000 participants from over 150 countries. Questions designed to understand their lifestyles and the emotions they experienced the previous day. 

According to survey data, the BBC's study discovered that since 2012, women have experienced more unhappy or anxiety than men, even though both genders' negative feeling trends are continuously rising. During the pandemic, women have experienced more negative emotions in their daily lives. This does not surprise Sarah Harmon, a therapist in the United States. Early in 2012, Harmon arranged a group of female clients to stand and scream in a field. This activity went viral a year later. In 2020, a survey by the Institute for Fiscal Studies of around 5,000 heterosexual parents in England was conducted. According to this study, mothers took on extra domestic duties during the epidemic. Mothers must reduce their working hours while they are working from home. In addition, the study from BBC found out that women in the United States prefer to express their angers through sadness or stress. 

The epidemic has a significant impact on female labor as well. Before 2020, there was only a small improvement in women's labor force participation, according to Ginette Azcona, a data scientist at UN Women. However, the progress completely comes to a halt in 2022.
