An Eventbrite listing for a "Rage Room" in Evanston, Illinois, invites women to smash pinatas and flip tables to vent anger against the patriarchy. Proceeds from the $25 tickets benefit Emily's List, a political action committee that supports pro-choice Democratic female candidates. The movement is linked to a broader "anti-patriarch" sentiment on social media, which some observers claim is being fomented by radical activists like Linda Sarsour.
