Even if you consider yourself to be the Most Sympathetic person; Anger will take over you sometimes.Many scripts suggest that women should not be angry and that it is not feminine. Women express anger inwardly unlike men, they suppress and ignore it more often leading to other problems like depression and bipolarity. Women mostly fear to face their own anger issues, which has an impact on their emotional wellbeing.

According to research “Females are often prone to self-doubt regarding their reactions of anger. Also, they believe that they are overreacting or just being too sensitive or unreasonable. Therefore, Women have to be mindful when they are treated unreasonably or when their boundaries are violated.”Women who expressed anger in a professional context are given lower status, lower wages, and less competence, while the opposite is true for men.
