Somehow as an American society we have labeled anger as “not an emotion”. This has not been to our benefit.
Men are largely taught by society negative emotions like sadness, frustration, hurt, etc. are unacceptable to display - except via anger. Anger can act as a mask or a wall between you and your truer, deeper emotions, sometimes at least. Also, anger is absolutely an emotion, I haven't heard that disputed, but it doesn't equal flying into a fit of rage and screaming/throwing shit.
Anger is considered an emotion the same way its illegal to murder someone with your car or rape someone more marginalized than you.
i'm not entirely sure what you mean by this
On paper, yeah, but it's not treated like it by anyone in power. The consewuences aren't the same, social and otherwise.
gotcha thanks
