You can’t dismiss someone’s emotions by pinning them on their estrogen levels. We are not slaves to our hormonal shifts. In a culture that is increasingly demanding of women to both advance in their careers and be reliable caretakers for their families, why shouldn’t we get frustrated? We’re taking on roles that have been traditionally filled by males while also trying to maintain the traditional female roles that most men are reluctant to step into. Life is difficult and unpredictable, and sometimes we’re going to get angry, and sometimes we’re going to show it. We are entitled to our aggression, just like you’re entitled to yours.
And no, I’m not PMSing. I’m just angry.
