Rage rituals are one of the latest trends circulating on the internet, where women pay thousands of dollars to participate in screaming ceremonies and breaking objects.
Mia Banducci, known better for her online persona Mia Majik, is a cybersecurity engineer turned self-proclaimed “intuwitch” who hosts rage ritual retreats for women so that they can boast lungfuls of deafening shrieks in the middle of the woods while beating sticks and other objects on the ground.
“It’s like, ‘don’t be a bitch’ or ‘don’t be angry’ or ‘don’t be aggressive’ or ‘don’t stand up for yourself.’ ‘Don’t protect your integrity.’ ‘Don’t tell anyone that they don’t have consent to touch your body or speak to you in a certain way.’ There are particular emotions that are accepted in the gender binary that we each need to feel. Men need to cry − and it’s so healthy for men to cry − and women need to be able to get angry,” Banducci told USA Today.
Banducci has hosted several of these ceremonies over the years, which have evolved from small events for friends to overnight retreats. Her latest temper-fueled endeavor is set for this August in France, ranging from $6,500 – $8,000 in cost.
Some people just have too much money!
