slow down her anger?
I guess you can't go with the "he/she" all-inclusive terminology in the Scriptures, but I've often thought of the verse that states that a man's insight slows down his anger.
How do you ladies keep your cool when confronted with the bad behavior or speech of others [male, female, children, cats, dogs ...].
I'm really serious ... I think....

In real life offline I do. I can't speak for the rest of my sex.

Actually, the Hebrew in Proverbs 19:11 has 'dm "human being", so it is actually gender-inclusive in the original.
Thanks, Mrs. Jones and Leo ... my hat's off to you [just now doffed it toward my screen].
Better brush up on my Hebrew, though, of course, the Society would frown!
Gratefully,

I count to ten and then curse underneath my breath ... kind of a la Mark Twain.

The best of both worlds, Syl!

By nature, I'm very slow to anger and let things go easily enough. BUT, there are times when I want to knock someone's block off. When I see the other person again, vis-a-vis and talking to them, that feeling disappears and I see just a human no better or worse than I am (this is very irritating to me!). Get me away from that person and I once again want to slander their name and rub their nose into it.
A woman's "insight" is usually her memory....and don't think for a minute it slows down her anger, especially if history is repeating it self!

Face to face, I am very measured. Professionally, my position has been the diplomat. Here...................not so much
Thanks, dear ladies, for sharing ...
Wish I had something to add.
