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


I would imagine that that would depend a lot on what sort of men they spend their time with......

I will however say that Clinton looks like hell in that video. I don't know if she was suffering from African jungle plague or jetlagged or bad lighting or what but she looks like she's on death's door. Even compared to photos from a day or two ago.

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.

I have never met a lady, or man for that matter, who was more emotional or angry than I am on average. I'm quite taciturn about things for most people, but if I trust the person, I'm often assertive and very willing to make my thoughts clear. That doesn't seem to matter, though. Culturally, men and women seem to have separate vehicles for expressing their anger. Men don't, and eventually blow up all over the place. Women can just let it out sporadically, we all complain about how dumb the other gender is when it comes to dealling with these mental issues, and then shrug it off, accept that we won't ever understand the other sex, and then laugh about it. It's almost like a coping mechanism.

That's how it's supposed to work, but whenever sexism rears its head it's not just women that get handed a **** sandwich: when you're operating under the mindset that ladies fly off the handle, you make it so that men can not fly off the handle, disenfranchising both genders. It sickens me as a man, independently of the repugnance of typical women oppression, that men have this opinion of themselves. So, hey men? Stop being sexist against men please.

I always picture Pensive as a gently pulsating disembodied brain floating in a tank of liquid nutrients.

Understandable, given how emotional he is. Real men don't have emotions.

The difference between men and women here is that men will call out other men for being jackasses. Women must form a support group and rally the troops.

See how the female posters have reacted in this thread as a classic example.

When I said that Totem had "issues," I meant with women. Of course, he wouldn't say these things about a Republican woman, but still.

Yeah, I was just making a casual generalization. It's my specialty. For what it's worth, I don't think Hilary was "over the top", but she should have asked for clarification or simply reserved comment, IMO.

No, she should have kneed him in the nuts and walked away.

See, we've got this the wrong way round. If women become so easily emotional and angry, because of biological reasons, then we should allow them more leeway in being aggressive and violent. The threshold should be lower, instead of higher. After all, they can't help it. It's in their genes. It's nature.

So yes, a knee in the balls, and maybe a shove to the ground. It's only fair.

Did you have this expectation that the women in this thread would agree with your stance that a woman shouldn't be president or did you realize that your statement just reinforced concerns that criticisms of her anger is interpreted as sexism?

It is Nihilist to deny out emotions,of which anger is one. It's not something to be suppressed, but expressed and fade away. In the most pleasurable way possible. Considering the anger that such an insult would inflict into Hillary's mind, she showed totally understandable that she castrate the guy, but a tiny little scornful clearification is too angry for you?

To be fair, my opinion would've been just the same had a male mimicked Hilary's response to the letter. It has 0 to do with me being a male and her being a female and, in my opinion, absolutely nothing to do with sexism, outside of BD's typical attempt at trolling the female populous of Allakhazam.

Her gestures alone gave hindsight that she felt insulted someone would ask her of her husband's opinion. Honestly, I would've asked first what the interpreter meant then maybe be a bit perturbed. She jumped the gun right off of the bat and felt the need to remind everyone that she's the secretary of state.

You could hardly call that postal. I felt that her response, given the question that she had, was perfectly acceptable. I know that if I was constantly living in the shadow of someone else's limelight, despite my own accomplishments, I'd be a bit cross about the subject as well. It's human nature.
