Women who get angry or express strong beliefs or just stand up for themselves are called all sorts of things. And if you are a woman in power, look out. You're either a "stereotypical bitch", an "angry black woman", or pick you derogitory term.
I'm going to generalize here. But women who express anger are not thought well of.
I've been shoving down my feelings of anger for a very long time. Not that I didn't express anger, but I didn't embrace it either. Men are "allowed" to feel anger and express their anger. But a women who does is a shrew or a bitch or a (insert derogative adjective.)
Well I am angry. And I have a right to feel angry. I refuse to shove down my feelings anymore. That is how people stroke out or have heart attacks. I don't want to go out that way. Expressing what I actually feel and not what I think is acceptable is my new motto. Look out world!
Old thought: Shove that feeling down. I don't want (insert anyone's name here) to not like me or think I'm a (insert derogitory adjective here.)
New thought: I have the right to be angry and express my anger. If you don't like it. I don't care.
Because it is funny. "And the sun burned their hearts like an angry woman.
