Quote by Nancy Friday
Because society would rather we always wore a pretty face, women have been trained to cut off anger.
Summary
This quote highlights the social pressure on women to suppress their anger and maintain a pleasant demeanor. Society tends to expect women to conform to certain standards, including always presenting themselves in an agreeable and pleasing way. As a result, women are often conditioned to deny or suppress their feelings of anger. This could lead to a lack of assertiveness and an inability to address or express their legitimate frustrations, contributing to the perpetuation of gender stereotypes and inequality.
