Most Women You Know Are Angry — and That’s All Right

In this op-ed, writer and journalist Laurie Penny, the author of the new book Bitch Doctrine: Essays for Dissenting Adults, explores female anger — why we hide it, why it's feared, how we can use it to change the world...Many women you know are angrier than you can possibly imagine. Most are pretty good at hiding it, having been taught to do so since childhood...Case in point: period jokes. How many times have you heard people dismiss and belittle a woman who dares to express emotion by telling her she’s probably menstruating? How many times have men in power — including Donald Trump — tried to push back and put down women who criticize them by implying that our opinions are nothing more than a mess of dirty, bloody hormones, none of it rational, none of it real? These jokes are never just jokes. They’re a control strategy...The patriarchy is so scared of women's anger that eventually we learn to fear it, too.

Bravo. From the article: “It’s bad enough that we still have to fight to be treated as full, equal human beings without also being shamed and silenced if the whole situation makes us furious. Yes, we’re angry.
Wow. Globalists will never be happy in this life or the next.

Most women I know aren't angry. Anger is not a normal state of mind, and people who are often angry are trouble people who need professional help. The writer may want to give some consideration to the kind of women she hangs out with.

Lmao!
My wife is very even tempered. She stays pissed off.

The left are made up of hate filled, angry, bitter people, the author of this fits right in perfectly.

Sounds like someone’s on the rag. Sounds like this Laurie Penny is, but not the one SCR is describing, in post 8. Go Blackhawks.

The left are made up of hate filled, angry, bitter people, the author of this fits right in perfectly. That can't be good for their health. But then again, if they are left wingers, I am not all that concerned about their health.

All the men are serial killers. And ALL male serial killers had bitchy controlling mothers.
