Are women getting angrier?
BBC News ^ | December 6, 2022 | By Stephanie Hegarty, Population correspondent

…. According to a BBC analysis of 10 years of data from the Gallup World Poll, women are getting angrier.

Every year the poll surveys more than 120,000 people in more than 150 countries asking, among other things, what emotions they felt for a lot of the previous day.

When it comes to negative feelings in particular - anger, sadness, stress and worry - women consistently report feeling these more frequently than men.

The BBC's analysis has found that since 2012 more women than men report feeling sadness and worry, though both genders have been steadily trending upwards.

When it comes to anger and stress however, the gap with men is widening. In 2012 both genders reported anger and stress at similar levels. Nine years later women are angrier - by a margin of six percentage points - and more stressed too. And there was a particular divergence around the time of the pandemic.

A 2020 survey of almost 5,000 parents in heterosexual relationships in England, by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, found that mothers took on more of the domestic responsibilities during lockdown than fathers. As a result, they reduced their working hours. This was the case even when they were the higher earner in the family.

Women used to suppress rage, resulting in depression, physical illness or alcohol abuse for the seriously angry; and relative peace of mind for those who accepted their assigned role and were able to work with it.

Now, indoctrinated women have gone overboard in expressing rage, not seeming to care how much damage they cause to society's future and to those around them. Many more than previously are vengeful and criminal. Hallmarks of femininity are out. Masculine and slut styles are in.

And now, transgender women are erasing womanhood entirely.

Married 55 years to a redheaded Irish lass. Wanna talk about angry females? lolol

The Irish men are no picnic, either. Rage—and the weaponized Gift of Gab as verbal abuse—unfortunately linger among some in both sexes of Irish-Americans.

Both kids are now adults and in therapy for their years of abuse. I should have been more forceful in telling her to cut the crap. She wouldn’t listen anyways.

I am so sorry. I have a sister-in-law who literally ruined our family. She was a meek little church girl when they met. Eventually, no one was allowed to talk to their kids or our brother without going through her, and having her tell them what to think (negative) about their own blood. Ultimately, we have been apart from them for 20 years.

Keep reaching out to your kids. They need you.

The doctor then, somehow, went into a FReeper style rant that covered everything in history between Slick and his leech wife and Brandonland.

Wish my doctor was like that. Mine keeps trying to get me to kill myself with a vaccine.

“Around 80% of all heterosexual divorces are initiated by the female spouse.”

I’m sure they do it for no particular reason. Just because ...

They do it because of poor domestic relations asset planning by gullible and ignorant men.

That was precisely the premise of the 1970s sitcom One Day At A Time. The protagonist left her husband for no reason that she ever felt it necessary to provide, to anyone, her daughters or to him. It was just what she wanted.

As the show progressed, her ex-husband (played by Joseph Campenella) was repeatedly shown to be a perfectly fine gentleman, loved by his daughters, who tried his best to be part of their lives. He had no apparent flaws.

One day, his wife simply left him because that's what she happened to want. She wanted no man in her life, and what she wanted was what would be done. He had nothing to say in the matter, and (in the real world) the courts and legal system were in full agreement.

To me, that's been the prototype for marriage ever since. I see precisely zero evidence to the contrary.

Oh. A TV show — a sitcom — in the age of free love and in the height of the feminist movement. That’s where we go to do research?

“To me, that’s been the prototype for marriage ever since. I see precisely zero evidence to the contrary.”

You need to get out more. Apparently, the ladies I worked with in a domestic abuse group split their own lips. If only I had known, I would have told them to go home and cuddle up to their controlling abusive beasts.

So you think 100% of the 80% of women initiate divorce proceedings against their husbands get beat up by them.

You think the abused women’s group you use for your “research” is a fair representation of marriage results. OK. No sillier than me citing an extremely popular sitcom that was on TV for ten years.

“We are all getting angrier. The elections are fixed, the constitution is ignored, the money is heading toward worthless, basic food is unavailable Or unaffordable, idiots are in charge and everything is turning to crap.”

Stated perfectly. Bravo.

And women are currently feeding the rise in the use of SSRIs.
