Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face, women have been trained to cut off anger.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts.
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
I've said this before, and I'm sure there are people who disagree, but I feel like one of the reasons there aren't a lot more women in stand-up - and there are many more now; it's not parity, but it's getting there - is that women are not socialized to look stupid or silly. They're socialized to be pretty and precious.
I do think anger is so difficult for women. Girls think it undermines their femininity; it's not very ladylike.
I think we have become obsessed with beauty and personally I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
Style is a very personal thing and women should develop their own individual look.
It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.
I think women have to change their hairstyle from time to time.
Anger has been a really big deal for women: how can we express it without feeling that, as the physically weaker sex, we won't get killed. The alpha-woman was burned at the stake and had her head chopped off in days of old.
I was never offended that people underestimated me because of my appearance or that they thought I was pretty and discouraged me from fighting because they didn't want me to risk hurting my looks.
