Not so much that, but any forceful statement from a woman is interpreted this way.

Women act like men three days out of a month and y'all just stand aghast.



But, Samira, we're supposed to be soft and compliant and fragile little flowers, waiting to blossom in the sunny presence of our men.

Now my poor pretty head is confused. I know I shouldn't argue with a man, but when two men are arguing, who do I side with??

I'll just wait anxiously on the sidelines, biting my lip and wringing my hands, and align myself with whomever wins.

I'm no huge fan of HRC but that was hardly over the top. If it was Obama, he'd be giving his stock "Now, look..." in a forceful tone. I chuckled at her getting miffed regarding a question "directed" to her husband (who wasn't even there) but I was under the impression that the video would show her throwing a real fit, not just giving a pissy answer.

This is the same woman who screamed at the top of her screechy lungs to be heard on the floor of the senate when the Dems were out of power.

These days that woman is Mitch McConnell.

I was more taken aback by how she said it than her tone. She looked really irritated. It would be hilarious if there's more to the video.

Person> "The interpreter made a mistake and meant to say Mrs.Clinton, not Mr."

HC> "Oh. Umm. Yeah. Take that! My opinion! Not his!"

Let's just retire to the parlor to exchange recipes while the men sort things out.

Sounds like a perfectly innocuous offer to me, Belkira.

I think it's interesting to notice the difference in how the men and women of the forum are reacting. It is not entirely different across gender lines (like Joph and Ash are more in line with the majority of the women) but I think it says something culturally about how women's anger is interpreted. I think most women have witnessed men engage in aggressive **** waving contests, only to criticize women as being unreasonable when they detect a whiff of anger. It definitely frustrates assertive women in positions of power who are always in an unenviable position of toeing a very tight line with much less latitude than their (white) male counterparts. (wualified only because men of color, from what I've observed, are definitely criticized more often for their anger)

I was severely disappointed with the video. A touch of scorn but not even close to a tantrum.

Do you know of any studies on how each sex responds to each sex's anger, Anna? Anecdotally, any time I have been surrounded by women I've found exactly the same thing happen to me.

They are probably out there somewhere, but off the top of my head, no, I don't.

Couldn't be that women actually get angry more often than men?


I think there are enough negative cultural messages against women getting angry that it's fair to say there is a greater prohibition. I think the reading of Hillary's reactions say something. I think Hillary Clinton as a public figure, brings up a whole host of feelings about women in power. She's like a walking Rorschach.

On BBC this morning a video of the Hellbeast while in Kinsaasha got asked a question, whereupon she quickly went nuts on the reporter saying something to the effect of, "I'm the Secretary of State, not Mr. Clinton! I'm the person you should be asking about, NOT my husband!!!!"

It was at this point aides were seen quickly scurrying about frantically looking for an industrial sized tampon. Hilarious.

:D x 1,000,000

Oh and just to clarify. Hillary is probably too old to be having periods anymore.

You're saying Rorschach can't walk by the end of the novel beacause Dr. Manhatten atomises him? jesus, thanks for spoiling it for me, Anna, you great big mean jerk.
