I'm commenting here because I paid my fifty bucks to Medium and because I feel like it.

I mentioned those random women on the street because I knew they were angry. I have encountered both men and women in my workplace and socially who were visibly angry all the time throughout my life, and didn't deal with them unless I had to, just like everyone else. A person like that needs therapy and/or medication because that's not normal, and is socially inappropriate. It comes across as mental illness.

If someone, man or women, is holding some kind of anger about something deep inside, how am I or any one else supposed to know that? It certainly doesn't affect every woman. If that anger is about the "status quo" or the 'patriarchy", that person needs to get a frickin' grip. That's like being angry because it's snowing or because a sports team is losing. Nothing you can do will fix it, so why put the emotional energy into it? We can only deal with the people around us IRL, and if they are causing you to be unhappy you have to let them know and work things out, or get away from them. Fully functioning adults deal with the problem or let it go, lest they end up screaming on the street.
