I grew up in a house with 5 guys and 0 women. Me, 2 bros, our cousin who lived with us, and my dad.
When my dad got angry, it was terrifying. He never hit us, but it sure seemed like he was just one breath from doing it. Screaming, punching holes in the walls, etc. But he also could hold a grudge and keep picking at you about something....
I inherited some of that, for sure. When I was younger I'd get insanely angry, to the point where one time I had basically an out of body experience, my brother made some comment and suddenly I was swinging at him, while I watched detatchedly in slow motion. As I've gotten older this has calmed down a lot on its own, but also I just had to learn to control myself.
Now, my wife grew up in a house of girls. Her, 2 sisters, her mom, and her dad was the only man. One of her sisters had basically the exact same response to getting angry as I did. Go fucking psycho.
But my wife has more of a "typical female" temper. She'll get frustrated, then it's like a switch gets flipped and she's mad. Suddenly she's so passive aggressive and snippy, and at that point her mind is made up. It's the most irritating thing to deal with, because it's obvious something's wrong, but she will not admit it. She gives one word responses and basically can not be consoled or reasoned with. I've watched her talking to customer service reps trying so hard to make things right, and she's being unnecessarily difficult. It seems incredibly counter productive to me, but it's somewhat understandable.
I've talked to her about it, I know she does not like being angry. I think many women have that same feeling, like they're wrong for getting angry about things in the first place. Then they get frustrated at that, while at the same time trying to redirect the feeling toward something they feel more acceptable. So basically there's a mini-anxiety attack that accompanies those feelings of anger. With that in mind the response makes more sense, she's basically fighting with herself. So her response to anger is unproductive because her response to anger is to try to get away from it as quickly as possible. This makes it pretty damn difficult to address what she's actually mad about.
The other part to this social phenomenon is that society has different standards for how angry men and women can acceptably be in social situations. An angry man is scary and dangerous. An angry woman is usually considered righteous. Women don't get taught to deal with anger the same way as men do, from what I've seen. Women are also less likely to be considered dangerous, even if they flip out hard.
Of course, there are biological differences too. Basting in a stew of estrogen is different than basting in a stew of testosterone. There's a fundamental difference of experience that probably means neither sex can really understand how the other experiences things, which adds to frustration.
My TLDR is that I think men, on average, are forced to develop more emotional maturity around anger because they are biologically more inclined toward anger, and are more physically dangerous when angry. Women are discouraged from anger and have less of a stigma for acting emotionally (They are stereotypically considered to act more out of emotion than men, but a man acting out of emotion is less acceptable socially). I also think the differences between the way men and women express their emotions is more due to social pressures than biological ones, and I certainly don't believe women are less fit than men for important jobs due to those differences. Also I'm bad at tldrs....
