I personally was raised in a female dominated family. Many of which were poor single mothers who had to do what was necessary. So, in order to survive they had to learn how to bite sometimes. I completely agree with the sentiment that sometimes anger is necessary and ok.

Too many people put the onus on the angry person but the real problem is the people who can’t handle someone being angry and showing it. In many ways society as a whole has evolved to hate anger from anyone. But to your point it has always been that way for women. Though it’s not exactly the same I struggle with being labeled as the angry person in my office. Mostly due to the fact that I am used to working in blue collar jobs where anger is tolerated more readily than in an office.

Society fears people who are angry. Angry people are what bring about change in the most realist way and society fears change. This is more especially true in regard to how society has classified women for so many generations. Because an angry woman might forget her place.

Finally, I raised a daughter by myself who is now 16. I have never punished her for being angry. She can be as angry as she likes but I do punish her for her using it as an excuse to lash out at innocent people. She is strong, opinionated and sometimes angry; and I hope she burns the world down to create a better one.
