Do men and women express anger differently?
Men and women may express anger differently. For instance, anger is more socially acceptable in males, and is often expressed physically through fighting. Outbursts by men are often laughed off as “boys being boys.” Since overt expressions of anger are often punished when expressed by females, they tend to express anger in a more passive-aggressive way, like spreading hurtful rumors. Women are more likely to talk about their feelings of anger and problem-solve with others.
