If anyone deserves to be angry, it’s women. They’ve been downtrodden oppressed for the entirety of human history. It’s shocking that we’ve only made progress on gender equality in the last fifty years or so. There are still men out there who want to take away women’s voices by not allowing them to rave hysterically about important matters. Guys, come on. We need to do better.

1. Body language. Keep your hands by your sides and your head bowed. If a woman is venting to you, she’s the boss of the conversation. She needs to know that you are listening to her anger reverently, and understanding every word.
2. Eye contact. Do not look her in the eyes for more than a moment at a time. Long periods of eye contact challenge her authority in the conversation, and are intimidating. She has to deal with that kind of masculine behavior all the time, and she deserves to dominate the conversation when she has something important to say.
3. Shut up and listen. If it sounds like she’s shouting nonsense at you, stay away from the toxic masculine urge to try to make sense of what she’s saying. Even if the words don’t line up or she’s making huge leaps in logic that you can’t follow. The important part of a debate is getting the emotions across to the other parties. So, instead of trying to figure out what she’s saying, swallow your pride and understand what she’s saying.
4. Women are always right. Remember this at all times. They are smarter than men and better than men at basically everything. If she says something you didn’t know, assume that it’s true. If she says something that you don’t agree with, assume that you are wrong. If you feel so inclined, you can look into it later. Don’t bring it up with her though, because you might make her feel stupid and uncomfortable. That’s not progress. That’s not helpful. Don’t do it.
