Are women getting angrier?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I am but that's because I am older and with age comes a certain not putting up with bullshit quality. However I find myself less angry about some things too.
I haven't looked at the link, it would only make me angry... |

If it's science you can't really argue that can you?
But fuck, maybe it's women are less prepared to hide away their anger in a bid to appear less human. Less prone to their emotions. Look at the way women are described when they're angry, through out the centuries. Scorned. Harpies. That crap is tiring. I have every right to feel anger, to express that instead of constantly bottling it up for fear of being seen as emotionally unstable.
I think on the whole people are more readily feeling anger and there can be a healthy way and a less so approach to managing that. |

Would agree with that as a bloke of a similar age, ones tolerance for being putting up with complete bollocks does lessen and it's fine ..

I get the whole are women just becoming more assertive argument which might explain the sharper rise compared to men.
But I do think we are all becoming a little bit angrier.
How could you not tbh |

"If a woman becomes angry all you men need to do is say "calm down dear, go and make yourself a nice cup of tea" and all will be well. Try it, thank me later  "
Or just ask them if it’s “the time of the month”. That’ll calm em |

I don't think we're angry enough to be honest. I feel we all ought to be in Downing Street shouting but instead we're sitting with a blanket on our knees moaning |

Yes that's a good one too, especially if you do it in front of your friends. |

Or the classic "is it your time of the month dear? Maybe have a nice relaxing bath" |

I find if one adds 'and a brew for me too love' that soothes the rage..
If you go further and mention a nice biscuit too it sometimes diverts their minds to nurturing role so win win .. |

Excellent advice. If all else fails a smack her bum as she walks away from you and say "cheer up, it might never happen". Guaranteed to get you laid |

We will never understand women
Women don't understand women what hope do us men have.
Society in general is pretty angry at the moment though.
I try not to get angry
If something is out of my circle of control in the Fuckit Bucket it goes
Well it's more of a skip than a bucket these dsys
Have a peaceful and lovely humpday

I used to be quiet and put up with a lot of crap from people
But in the last 2-3 years, I've started opening my mouth and telling people what I think when they try to treat me like crap
If people see that as anger, that's their view. I see it as not being walked over or abused anymore |

Depends how you handle it. Most of it is a test anyway. Found that in the previous office companies I worked in. Once they find out you are not a 'pushover', it's fine. In fact best friends can be made that way. Men and Women. |

"Actually, poor attempts at humour aside... Don't you see it as an indictment of our trajectory? The more free we become apparently the less happy.? "
Or we are more free to see the huge injustices in the world.
I'm not sure anger directly relates to happy either. I've so much more advantages than my parents had. I'm aware of this and I am generally happy. But I can also be pissed off at what is going on around me |

Yep. I do the same. It's rare I feel angry. Very rare. But when I do, I tend to email ('cause that makes a difference) or vent to my emotional support pug. Neither is actually tackling the problem is it? I think sometimes I need to speak up more and say "nope, this is/the way you've been is shit" but then it feels uncomfortable. Like I can't voice it because I'd be somehow wrong. Automatically. |

Anger is just a product of frustration. Women have developed some empowerment and about time for me. I am not political but a realist, as the female gnome becomes more prevalent in the world it is inevitable that women will become the more and more aware of the way that the males in the world who basically are not good listeners. I am just trying to survive in a world that is changing, I hope into a more enlightened society that treats everyone with respect regardless of sex, gender, race, religion, etc,etc...But I am a supporter of no violence towards women, as well as anyone else and it is right that they are angry about this. |

I think contacting an MP can eventually make a difference, if they feel their seat might be at risk they will take action. Sadly I've grown more cynical over time and feel that I have very limited influence though |

I think the western world is a very angry and stressed out place, it was in the past less acceptable for women to express any kind of negative emotions, now it turns out we can run the full gamut, whoda thunk it?

Cynicism is an understandable response though, it's a learned behaviour. Not the best but understandable. We do have a certain degree of influence, it just requires us speaking up more. Using our voices. My friend keeps sending me messages just saying Speak Up Meli - think he has a point. |

I read most of the article that was linked to. Couldn't read it all as i'm off out. I will finish later though.
So far I don't agree with the science behind it. Nor the simple question that headlines the article ?
Are women becoming more angry ? More angry than what ? More angry at what ? More angry than when ? Where is the first set of data ?
The presumption that it's just women or that it's unusual because it's women expressing emotion doesn't sit well with me either.
I don't agree with this bit that I took from the article ..... QUOTE When it comes to negative feelings in particular - anger, sadness, stress and worry - women consistently report feeling these more frequently than men. UNQUOTE.....
It's the word 'negative' I have a problem with .... if someone is feeling something it's emotion .......emotion is neither negative nor positive it's emotion .....
That such human expressions are seen as negative is a total dismissal of the conditions that give rise to such expressions...
Surely we need to ask what enviroments and experiences are making people feel angry .... and not go ....... ooooooo the women are at it Mabel.... |

That's a separate issue though, that's just classic man behaviour, thinking a compliment to a woman is gonna help get you noticed and laid (what a sweet man, awww)
I just say it how it is. There's women on here who don't like particularly but I'll still call them hot if my boner calls for it!
Women generally I think (#notallwomen) are alot more sneaky with their compliments and don't want to acknowledge they find you hot easily |

Hmm I don't know if women are really that angry, or if they are I think it's more internalised.
I think many many women are angry about a great deal of things. But I don't think we know exactly how to voice it. Because if we do we get hit with a hard line feminist or she's hysterical etc. I think in general we're trying to find it but not quite succeeded, which is frustrating which I guess leads to feeling helpless and angry |

I think in reality no! Are men and women expressing more anger online where there are limited consequences! Absolutely yes! Speak the way some people do on here in a pub or a supermarket and there is a high probability of being twatted. It’s less risky online |

People may think it but I haven't seen it and am probably a main offender for it. Either way fuck em, confidence is good. It's not a crime or a bad trait to acknowledge yourself as a good thing. |

More angry than...?
I read the whole piece... The way I read it, they have implied an standard measure of "angriness" and over the last 10 years, for women, that measurement has gone up... The graphs show it so it must be true. I think I'm India women are 13 % more angry than they were 10 years ago. True. The gallup global emotions survey (who knew?).
In that graph there is a drop down that let's you select anger / sadness / worry / stress graph lines. |

Hell no, that's like telling your mate to put aftershave on his wife's fanny after she's run an Epilater over it.

This quote from the article sums it up. I was fucking raging on Friday evening, having witnessed misogyny of epic proportions in action, at a workplace function (which I called out, btw).
"Psychiatrist Dr Lakshmi Vijayakumar believes this is the result of tensions that have emerged as more women in these countries have become educated, employed and economically independent.
"At the same time, they are tethered down by archaic, patriarchal systems and culture," she says. "The dissonance between a patriarchal system at home and an emancipated woman outside of home causes a lot of anger." |

I said I wasn't convinced by the science...
Hello Madam are you feeling angrier more often than you used to ?
Yes ! (tick)
The yes result could be the greater freedom that women now have to express how they feel without fear of severe repercussion.
There are many other factors that would result in a YES.

I can honestly say I've never seen a women here start a thread about her own tits..so maybe that's part of thr dynamic at play.
But again I don't consider someone starting a thread about how amazing a part of their body is as confidence so that could be a why we see it differently too.
I agree there responses would be generally different on that |

But again I don't consider someone starting a thread about how amazing a part of their body is as confidence so that could be a why we see it differently too.
I agree there responses would be generally different on that
So tempted to start a 'rate my torso' thread
I'm calling it now.... raging success... do it"
Oh FFS I'm bad with peer pressure and thinking why the fuck not... |

I think rather than being / feeling more angry, all this shows is that the women in the survey are now feeling they can say they get angry, rather than feeling there's no point in answering the survey honestly as it won't change anything. |

"Some of them on here are I'd say haha .. if a woman posts on a thread looking for compliments or asking a question the men are all nice and kind complimenting them .. if a man shows any sign of being confident he gets savaged hard on the forum
I agree that guys and girls definitely get treated differently .
But I've never seen a guy be savaged just for being confident

The only way to fix that would be not to tell women in forums that they have the best tits than wouldn't it? "
Try telling all the men that.. |

Watch this space..... Over the years I've been accused of being a bloke for various reasons. "

"If a woman becomes angry all you men need to do is say "calm down dear, go and make yourself a nice cup of tea" and all will be well. Try it, thank me later
I find if one adds 'and a brew for me too love' that soothes the rage..
If you go further and mention a nice biscuit too it sometimes diverts their minds to nurturing role so win win ..
Excellent advice. If all else fails a smack her bum as she walks away from you and say "cheer up, it might never happen". Guaranteed to get you laid "
You know those books... "every boys book of knowledge?" I think I saw this in there. |

"If it's science you can't really argue that can you?
But fuck, maybe it's women are less prepared to hide away their anger in a bid to appear less human. Less prone to their emotions. Look at the way women are described when they're angry, through out the centuries. Scorned. Harpies. That crap is tiring. I have every right to feel anger, to express that instead of constantly bottling it up for fear of being seen as emotionally unstable.
I think on the whole people are more readily feeling anger and there can be a healthy way and a less so approach to managing that."
Or having it assumed that you're being hormonal or hungry.

Some women seem to get more hysterical than they used to is pretty much what the survey seems to say.
Surely this should be about women managing their emotions better. Why get angry in the first place. Just get even .. |

Yes! But then I don't help it because I say oh I'm sorry I was angry at you for failing to meet the deadline and doing fuck all about it/lying to me/being a poohead. Silly me was being hormonal, don't worry about it. Social conditioning at its finest there.  |

I've been admonished at work for behaving in a way that in men, is seen as positive, confident etc. I'm not passive. I'm not going to keep quiet if I disagree. I'm not going to sit in the background like a wallflower. This is why women are angry.
If I make a key decision, quickly, under pressure and communicate it succinctly to staff, I am accused of being short/sharp. When an identical message is conveyed by male managers at the same level as me, it's accepted as a necessary, prompt communication.
How does that work?! |

It's wrong, it is as you rightly said earlier part of the patriarchal society where attitudes more akin to the Victorian era still prevail in some ..

Dunno that women are necessarily more angry, and more so that they feel a lot more empowered to speak up about things they typically would have just endured (from men) in the past.
A lot of this is a generational driver as well. It emerged with elder millennials (like myself) but really, Gen Z is the first generation to very loudly, and boldly (via social media), push back against a lot of societal norms that were rooted in discrimination and inequality. So we are seeing MORE of it, and that can effectively look like an angrier group of people. |

If you calm down for a second as you’re obviously hysterical… have a cup of anti PMS tea and a couple of fingers off the security guard they’ll always help like that - theres a wonderful series of self help videos on youtube called ‘ Woman!! - Know your place!!’ I think you’d really find them helpful ….

To be fair a shapely ankle might cause a few to swoon nowadays..
I think it's very much the type of workplace environment, this was the early 90s and very much then all males..
It's moved on since which is good but it's still in some places stuck in the time of the Tudors .. |

90% of a message is received by non verbal communications. Even in an email we often judge the written word by the antics of the people who send that message.
The angriest seem to be these so called social justice types, whether man or woman who get angry about everything that does not fit into their idillyc world or workplace. Toms advice. Accept people for who and what they are. Don't try to change them and stop getting angry and upset over things you can never control.
Life does not have to make you angry. Remember that a storm can uproot the strongest tree. Be like Tom who is like bamboo and bend in the wind. |

No. Men are just getting more in touch with their feminine side and being more sensitive! |

This is a self reported emotion if I've read the article correctly.
So unless it's some internalised stuff, it's not women being more assertive and men not liking it. It seems women are feeling a bit angrier than in previous years, and men a bit less. Which in itself is interesting imo, as anger often comes from injustice. |

I was intrigued (well OK... Mildly interested) in the reason it was even a story and also the collective screaming groups that apparently have appeared. Primal therapy perhaps? Women have generally dealt with emotional issues better than men so maybe there is something in it. |

Shit, I don't think I could get angrier of that's the way it's going haha
We'll think we're just as entitled as men to get just as angry soon won't we?
There's definitely issues we need to be angry over |
