Every lady who has ever cried in the middle of an argument or been told to "calm down" after raising her voice knows that the best way to get other people to dismiss you as irrational is to get visibly upset. I'd say that the pervasive universal brush-off of female anger is fucking bullshit, but I don't want anyone to think I'm crazy. More »

"In three studies, 463 men and women between 18 and 70 years old watched video of actors pretending to be job seekers or employers," reports CNN. The result? "When women express anger at work, no matter what they do on the job, they can be seen as 'out of control' or are viewed in a negative light," says Victoria Brescoll, an assistant professor at Yale University's School of Management. Ugh! We've got to ditch the idea that women are supposed to be docile and easygoing. Sometimes your job calls for anger; anger can be a powerful tool in getting your point across. As for consultant Lynne Eisaguirre, who has written a book called The Power of a Good Fight: How To Embrace Conflict to Drive Productivity, Creativity and Innovation and says: "I always tell women on the job, kill them with kindness" — she needs to shut the fuck up.

Yale psychologist Victoria Brescoll has confirmed what has long been the suspicion of many women: you cannot afford to get angry at the office if you own a vagina. According to science news site EurekAlert, Brescoll's study, published in the March issue of Psychological Science, showed that "People accept and even reward men who get angry but view women who lose their temper as less competent." The study involved showing subjects videos of male and female actors applying for a job; aterwards, the viewers were asked to rate the "applicants" on how competent they were, how much salary they deserved, and if they should be hired or not. "Both men and women in the reached the same conclusions," notes EurekAlert, "Angry men deserved more status, a higher salary, and were expected to be better at the job than angry women," regardless of the level of job for which the fake applicants were applying.

Sick of getting picked on just because you're the short one? So were two Long Island cashiers this week, and they did something we can all probably agree was fun/stupid. Hafize Sahine chased hers with an ax (and got captured on video!), while an unnamed clerk in Freeport grabbed the guy's wrist and refused to let go. While personal safety is obviously more important that even your own cash, who wouldn't want to chase a robber twice your size down with an ax just to enjoy the fear in his eyes?
