Why are men so angry?

87. Men are not "so angry" that I've noticed

Of course I avoid the true Neanderthal types, so maybe they are who you mean?

Unless you mean they are angry about how we are all being screwed by the right-wing - including the assault on women's rights. My husband is just as angry about that as I am.

Statements like this just reek of typecasting without actually doing anything to further the cause you are CLAIMING you wish to further... anytime you declare that men (as a group) or women (as a group) or atheists or Christians or blacks or whites (as a group) do something... you are engaging in stereotyping and that does NOTHING to further a conversation nor further the cause you are theoretically trying to further. In fact, it tends to make people "so angry" that you are not treating them like individuals and hanging the crimes and mistakes of others around their necks.

Every group has extremists and assholes and every group has good people... the key to making friends and allies to to figure out which is which and not treat them all as if they are assholes and extremists.
