'In Harley Quinn’s world, however, we see what it looks like when women are allowed to express their emotions without shame'
“I’m here to report a terrible crime,” purrs Harley Quinn , eyes twinkling mischievously behind her oversized sunglasses as she saunters up to the front desk of a police station. The bored officer looks up at her and says, “And what terrible crime is that?” She opens her trench coat to reveal a bandolier of ammunition and pulls out her Fun Gun, taking aim at the officer’s forehead before he can even process what’s happening.

“Most Black women and women of colour are taught that anger is equivalent to disrespect,” says therapist Dr. Kelsei LeAnn, who’s based in Houston. So it’s not surprising that Dinah initially stifles her anger, like too many racialized women do to survive in real life. But by denying our anger a healthy outlet, says LeAnn, we sell ourselves short of our full potential.
