No. 8: Angry

误解八：女人岂能“愤怒”

“Anger is a sign of status in men, but when women show anger they are viewed as less competent,” said Young. First Lady Michelle Obama was condemned as an “angry black woman” when she was campaigning for her husband in the 2008 presidential election. The Harvard-trained lawyer conscientiously softened her image and speeches in order to be more “likable,” becoming better known for her fashion and her unending support of her husband than for her stance on political issues。“

愤怒是男性的专利，人们不能接受女性表现出愤怒的一面。”杨说。2008年，米歇尔·奥巴马为丈夫的总统竞选造势时，这位第一夫人曾被谴责为“愤怒的黑人妇女”。后来，这位哈佛大学毕业的律师柔化自己的形象和演讲，变得更加“讨人喜欢”，突出表现自己的时尚品味和对丈夫的支持，而不是政治立场。
