Have you ever been told you’re too emotional? That your feelings are too intense, too disruptive, too much? In this powerful debut episode of The Not Viable Project, host Shannon explores the real meaning behind the phrase that has been used to silence women for generations.

Drawing from personal experience, feminist theory, psychology, and raw statistics, reveals how the label “too emotional” is less about feelings—and more about control. From workplace gaslighting and emotional suppression to the epidemic of gender-based violence, this episode examines how society weaponises emotional language to shame women, dismiss truth, and uphold power.

If you’ve ever cried in the bathroom, been called dramatic, or told to calm down when all you were doing was surviving—this episode will speak directly to your fire.

"What if I told you that your uterus is now a crime scene?
That the blood between your thighs could trigger a police investigation?
That in the eyes of the state, your miscarriage isn’t a tragedy—it’s a homicide?

What if I told you… that grieving the loss of your baby could land you in a prison cell longer than the person who killed my baby boy?

This is not a horror story. It’s not fiction.
It’s policy. It’s precedent. It’s punishment wrapped in the language of “protection.”

And it’s spreading.
From El Salvador to Texas. From Victorian asylums to your period tracking app.

We were told we were too emotional.
So they locked us in institutions.
We were told we were too sexual.
So they outlawed our pleasure, our contraception, our choice.
And now?
Now they’re coming for our grief.

If you’ve ever lost a pregnancy like I did, this episode may break you down.
But I promise you—it will make you fierce.

Because mourning is not a crime.
But criminalising women absolutely is.

Welcome to We Are The Reckoning.
And today—we’re burning the whole damn script."

"What if I told you…
That blaming the victim isn’t just ignorance—it’s a design.
What if I told you that for centuries, we haven’t just failed to protect women…
We’ve trained entire societies to blame them.
That in courtrooms, in headlines, in whispered conversations—
We are reenacting witch trials with better lighting.
And the only thing that’s changed…
is the costume.

This episode is raw. It’s researched. It’s real.
Because if we want to dismantle injustice, we have to understand how it survives.
And the truth is: blame isn’t just a feeling.
It’s a weapon.
And it has always been aimed at women."
