That sounds like a fair solution.

Also, if it's healthy for men to cry when we're sad, then maybe it's healthy for women to get angry (rather than crying) when they're angry. I think women are socialized to resist their anger, because it's not "feminine," even when they have every right to be angry. Maybe it would be more empowering and less frustrating if you let yourselves express your anger as anger.

Unfortunately that's viewed as poorly as men crying. Angry women couldn't possibly have a good reason to be angry. We must just be experiencing PMS.
