Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women experience anger as frequently as men do, but societal constraints may inhibit their expression of it. Anger, aggression, and violence should not be viewed as a continuum because one does not necessarily lead to another. Language related to anger is imprecise and confusing. People can choose to slow down their reactions and to think and behave differently in response to events; therefore, anger is not a knee-jerk reaction to external events.
