Aggressive Women

Here is a post at Althouse blog about her exchange with another lady on a bloggingheads.tv segment. The comments grabbed my interest a lot more than the post or the bloggingheads.tv segment. A lot of the comments were saying Ann should be “embarrassed” for raising her voice at the other lady and seemed to be attacking her.

My response? So what? As some other commenters pointed oujt very quickly, would this have been such a big deal if it were two men raising their voices? I bet if one man attacked the other one verbally, the attacked man would have been told to take it like a man and not complain. A really disgusting display of the double standards against women on display.

Men are allowed to be passionate and angry - apparently, it is their God-given right and makes them more likeable. A woman who dares to raise her voice? What an effing embarrassment to the entire universe!
