I’ve found lately that many of the women in my area don’t know how to name the emotion that they are feeling. Sometimes for fun I send them an emotion wheel and tell them to find the word that matches what they are feeling.

2025-01-23 06:24:25 +0000 UTCRecognizing emotions is indeed the basis of Non Violent Communication. Good work on this topic Alex. Thanks for the reminder. There can also be trigger situations, or trigger words. For example; calling an angry woman hysteric when starting an argument can make her more hysteric. That's even funny sometimes. I'll be trying the "masculine" and " people are looking" remarks with my girl if it happens. Have a great day everybody. Greetings from Switzerland

2025-01-23 05:03:42 +0000 UTCThis is a really helpful video: I'm interested in guys' experiences of dealing with women's anger in the workplace. I can see how calling out emotions could be helpful, but you'd have to be more careful doing this than in a relationship. The idea of not arguing with women on the surface level through words/logic is very sensible. Women's strategies to get their way do often seem to relate to control and/or shaming the other as discussed in the video.

2025-01-23 03:40:25 +0000 UTCWomen and anger is such a crazy dynamic. I've been pretty chill most of my life, and not prone to outbursts, but during divorce/custody I notice the paranoia that a man might be angry, let alone express it. That might be because men use anger to motivate action, which is unpredictable, and can be devastating. But.... women display anger and then say "see how angry I was, you have to do something now". That is often the dialogue around women's protests. "Look at all this female anger". Not just anger - if they display enough of any emotion, you are expected to take action. I like the way you think Alexander. You don't pull your punches, but you don't take cheap shots either. Some other podcasts just want to fight or argue with women.
