Right. So the fact that the Angry White Woman doesn't get called out for raging much of the time, while the man does, is an example of female privilege. Right?

Sex differences of this type can be seen as privilege, but, in the real world, women who show strong emotion are often described as being hysterical or with other negative terms and marginalized while men are described as driven go-getters for the same behavior, and rewarded.

I'm not sure men who show strong emotion are necessarily viewed as go-getters. Strong emotions can get men in plenty of trouble.

I remember CW Nevius at sfgate (San Francisco chronicle) offered this perspective
