“Because the perception of anger is so negative, women tell me that they are either unaware of its presence or, if aware, they keep the anger underground in other ways because they fear the consequences of expressing anger. They know that some people will get mad at them. Others may leave them. Others may hurt them. This is another paradox: The ways in which women seem to go underground with their anger often produce the consequences they were trying to avoid. They are left. They get hurt. They hurt themselves.” - In Women’s Experience, Patricia L. Munhall Photo Credit: Flickr/Emi Jayne #Fury #GoodGirlGoneBallistic
