They needed to research it to figure that out???? I knew that in the first grade. I learned a long, long time ago that some people will do what you let them get away with. When somebody tries to throw a fit of anger on me, I immediately jump right back in their $h!+. About 99.9% back down in a nanosecond, and they won’t F’ with you anymore after that. You just have to have the guts to call their bluff.
In spite of what the libtards say, this is not a warm, fuzzy world we live in. They ought to know better than anybody. They are doing everything they can to make slaves out of the rest of us. . . and we have to call their hand on it.

"men use anger as manipulation tool with other men"
Only in academia would stating what everyone already knows be regarded as a newsworthy research finding. Obviously, expressions of anger are often intended to emphasize a point in order to change ("manipulate") behavior. And don't women do the same?
To: coop71
No.
I think it’s an immature slang word.

Anyone who doesn’t think women use anger to try to manipulate has not met some of my old girlfriends. Hell hath no fury . . . .

Absolutely correct. Controlled anger can be highly effective if used sparingly.
The best example is Jesus Christ driving the money changers from the temple. It is, I believe, the only example of him showing anger in the New Testament.

I see it as a female thing more than a male thing and also as a leftist thing more than a conservative thing.

Yes, indeed. This is one for the “No Chit, Cherlock” files.

Why does that guy’s picture always make me want to pick him up by the ankles and beat his father over the head with him?

Your post said you wish for that word to not be used to describe a weakling...then went on to extoll praises on female genitalia. That sounded to me like you accept the word as slang for female genitalia, yet despise it as slang for a weakling.
Therefore, I asked if you were kidding.
