Thanks for these thoughts. Your use of the word hysterical reminds me of how male domination and white supremacy culture both minimize the lived experience of the non dominant party by saying that they are overly emotional. We white males champion rational thought and any challenger is an angry feminist bitch or an angry Black person. Witness Hilary Clinton having to appear unemotional in order to be taken seriously or Obama being satirized by Key and Peele for catering to white people by not showing anger.
