WHY CANT YOU SEE I’M ANGRY?

Thursday, Jun 15th, 2006 @ 05:50 pm

Guys, she may be hopping mad. And you, being guys, just haven’t got a clue.

Psychology grad student Lisa Goos of Toronto showed college students photos of male and female faces displaying four emotions: anger, fear, disgust, or sadness. While the men correctly identified anger in other men about 40 percent of the time, they had a harder time identifying anger in women.

Goos believes this is a natural result of evolution, which dictates that what’s important for survival will be perpetuated. Men learn to recognize anger in other men because an angry man could pose a physical threat. But an angry woman is not something to worry about.

Oh yeah?

    “An angry woman is nothing to worry about.” Oh yeah, John Bobbitt thought that too.

    They tend to forget that “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
