How can I call down from my rage today?!

After an absolutely infuriating day at work being belittled and possibly disciplined and being told I don't have the right to voice my opinion on a subject because I AM A WOMAN I have come home and ripped poor DP to shreds about how frustrating it is being a woman surrounded by balding middle aged men with the opinion that I am a lesser species I have got myself so worked up that I am shaking with rage.

How can I calm down enough to actually eat my leftover Chinese food.

But seriously, bollocks to fucking everything. And bollocks to all the women at work who giggle and take the blatant discrimination and sexism and fit into the little box cral2eated for them because it's the easy thing to do.

Bollocks bollocks bollocks and fuck off.

Yes it is rage inducing but when women are angry we are just dismissed as crazy. Don’t get angry get active and chip away. Write to your local councillor, your mp and donate to Jessica James and pilgrim crowdfunds. Complete the online consultations. Stay informed. Post support on mumsnet. Join Twitter and post support for activists and tweets. Talk to friends and family. Pick your battles. Joining the voices and doing a bit makes me feel less angry and that I am doing a small bit for women and for my daughter.

An angry, ranting feminist... How strange 😂

^light-hearted

Genuinely sorry you're upset. I don't have anything helpful to say as you don't really give much information about what happened. Hope you can down soon.

I feel your pain. I am a woman surrounded by mansplaining fools.

Bar of chocolate and a light movie to distract yourself.

I think that was a joke?

Sorry you're being treated like that at work Thanks Have you got anyone that you can ask for advice like a union or a professional body?

Branleuse · 07/03/2018 19:06

eugh, what were you not allowed to voice your opinion about. Can we help share your rage, or would we make it worse?
