Why are anger issues socially acceptable for men and not for women?

Asked by The_Compassionate_Heretic (14634points) April 19th, 2009

There seems to be this “conventional wisdom” that it’s somehow acceptable for men to express themselves through anger but when a woman does this she’s labeled “a bitch”. I don’t understand why the double standard exists.
