Consider that the white men in the Rust Belt are rarely told that their anger is bad for them. Rather, and correctly, we understand that what's bad for them are the conditions that have provoked their frustration: the loss of jobs and stature, the shortage of affordable healthcare and daycare, the scourge of drugs. We understand their anger to be politically instructive, to point us toward problems that must be addressed. What we all-in the media, and in politics, and in our personal lives-can endeavor to do is to treat the anger of women as we treat the anger of white men.
