What about "hey, you with the boobies"?
I thought that was my Mom's name until I was 8.

"Think of a man and take away all reason and accountability"

Everybody gets angry. Its another thing to get angry over an unreasonable thing, say and do unspeakable things, and expect it all to be hunky-dorey when you inevitably forget why you were angry in the first place.

Men don't do this to other men for one simple reason: sooner or later, you will get your ass kicked in an incredibly painful way. That and we don't PMS.

 
clgrin 2008-01-05 11:19:24 PM  
"Getting" you say?... getting? What you're trying to tell me is that there was some previous point when there was non-anger and now by some action we have reached angry. I hearby devote myself to finding said point and devising a way to live there indefinitely.

I was always under the impression, that the term "broads", referred to a woman's hips.

That's what I've heard anyway.

You know one thing that will really make a woman mad? Just run up and kick her in the butt. (P.S. This also works with men.)

 
Jument 2008-01-06 03:35:44 AM  
If I wanted my wife to kick me squarely in the nuts with all the force she could possibly muster, I would either call her a "broad" or a "c-word". I don't know why broad is such a dirty word. Chicks, eh? Go figure.

Anyone want to give a reader's digest version of that article? It just kept rambling on & on to the point where I found that I just didn't care. So some girls have anger issues. Big deal. So do 99% of all human beings alive on earth right now.

The gist of the article that I read was her saying "My therapist says I'm angry, so I guess I must be. I blow off steam with friends & coworkers (who are all women). One of my coworkers gave me a book about anger. Yay, less anger. Then it just goes on from person to person talking about their anger issues or guys talking about their SO's anger issues. Whooptey doo.

 
AR55 2008-01-06 03:47:48 AM  
I started reading the article and little to my amusement I find out the damn broad is babbling about her life story; I then exit out the window and go back to downloading more bangbro movies.

It is an article written by a narcissist lunatic. She has spent all of her life ranting at the world and furious that it will not change to adapt to her demands. As a result no-one wants to be around her and she is blaming everyone else.

 
starsrift 2008-01-06 03:59:43 AM  
That was the worst put-together article I've ever read.

Some Times editor in an office somewhere: "I have an idea! Let's get all of our bloggers to write about the same topic, then put it all together in one article for some poor bastard with nothing better to do to read!"

Won't even spark a good misogyny thread, I fear. :(

 
thestr1ker 2008-01-06 04:01:06 AM  
I refer to woman as biatches a lot. Does this make me a bad person?

 
PartTimeBuddha 2008-01-06 04:03:49 AM  
Despite being perky and happy this morning when I woke, I found this series of articles both far too long and far too self-indulgent.

This made me angry, so I have now strangled a duck.

Same here, I kept thinking she'd have a point, but she didn't seem to be getting there anytime fast.

 
weatherwax 2008-01-06 04:16:39 AM  
What's wrong with being angry? I've usually found that most really, really happy people are just stupid people who are oblivious to bad things that exist around them. Isn't most change done by people who were angry about a problem or situation? Wouldn't the best thing then be to learn how to use your anger in contructive ways instead of holding it in all passive-agressive like?

We keep sayin' this, but biatches don't listen.

I agree with meekychuppet's summary.

It's all good to be angry at things or people which are worthy of it. But the stereotype is that women are or get angry at men and women who haven't done anything to deserve it.

For example, we should all be angry at stupid religious fundamentalists (thread-jack from misogyny to hating on religion), but there's no reason to be angry at ... well, I can't think of anyone.

 
dotSylvia 2008-01-06 04:30:53 AM  
There was a party. A female friend objected to a male calling her a chick. He looked straight at her and said "so you'd prefer tits on legs?"
Pfft. She did seem amazingly whiny and self-obsessed.

Even the summarized version is repetitive. To have a healthy relationship that adapts to good and bad times, you need to call people on their bullshiat early, regularly, and honestly.

She was never called on her bullshiat growing up. She makes a habit of victimizing herself and building up anger while dismissing complaints about her. Then she vents to a third party, enjoys it, and then repeats. Her group of friends all do the same thing.

Everyone is agreed: angry women are very different from angry men. But what's fuelling that female fury in the first place? Maureen Freely, Lesley White, Ariel Leve, A A Gill and Rod Liddle vent their views
...
My anger?" I'm afraid I began to lose my cool at that point. "Why would this woman want to talk to me about my anger?"

"Because of what it's doing to us," he said.

Now that really hurt my feelings.
...
According to my mother, I was such an aggressive little girl that her friends refused to bring their children to my first birthday party unless she promised to keep me in my playpen.

So they asked her: "What are you going to do to curb your daughter's aggression?" It is to my mother's credit that she responded to the question, and the subtext, by choosing to do nothing.
...
I went to visit my friend Laila, which turned out to be perfect, even though she was ironing, because she hadn't spoken to her husband for four weeks
...
"It was because I'm a woman, you know. That's why he thought he could get away with it. You wouldn't catch him talking to the men that way!" She sighed and took a dangerously large swig from her wine glass. And then she was telling us about her last boyfriend, and the one before that. It was just terrible hearing what they had done to her, but (strangely) it was also relaxing.
...
Yes, women were brought up to bury their anger.
...
Just because you couldn't express your anger directly and in public, that didn't mean you couldn't have a very good time expressing it behind closed doors. And what fun that was. And how dull life would be without those delicious jokes at men's expense.
...
It seemed to me that the more I had thought about anger, the angrier I got. And the more I talked about it to other women, the angrier they got too. But how refreshed I felt after letting off a bit of steam. Well, maybe I let off more than a bit. But it was fun.
...
Oh, what fun I had, imagining the look on his face when I said that. There it would be, for all to see. And I was angry about it. Why shouldn't I be? That would teach him. Teach her too. This counsellor woman would never dare to ask another woman to come in to talk about her anger, ever again.

But I had so much fun planning the showdown that by the time I actually walked into the room the next morning and set eyes on the counsellor - who did not in any way resemble the harridan I had been expecting - my script deserted me. I was forced back into my old ways. When she asked me about my anger, I said I felt none at all.
