Anger and dissociation
These unspoken gender rules result in girls losing awareness of their own anger.
Their anger builds up, but they don't have a healthy way of letting it out, so instead they do things like:
- Cry for apparently no reason
- Laugh inappropriately during difficult conversations
- Fly off the handle over something that seems inconsequential
These behaviors are then treated as hysterical and unlikeable.
