A blog writer from the blog Tres Sugar in the UK writes in a post: “While uncontrolled anger or physical violence is nothing for either sex to be proud of, does it bother you that women are expected to be ashamed of their anger since society often tolerates male rage?” http://www.tressugar.com/5455426
I found this to be an interesting comment. My take is our society should stop tolerating male rage, NOT, start tolerating female rage. Rage is abusive regardless of whether it’s coming from a man, woman or child. The last thing we need is to be more tolerant of rage rather than less tolerant.
What do you think?

Before I "clicked in" to this link all I could think was, "Rage is not acceptable, period." Folks need to learn how to communicate in a way that will foster trust in a relationship. A person on the receiving end of rage is more likely to shut down than to open up. Then nothing gets accomplished and issues don't get resolved.

Though I could not get the link to work, I do know about rage in a relationship, as my partner rages regularly. She used to apologize for it after she calmed down, but no longer. It is a progressive issue, as it happens more frequently with more "triggers" than before. Rage is an effort to control another by intimidation, through sheer power, and is unhealthy in a relationship, as it isolates the victim from the raging partner.
