Don't think anyone's shocked at this one. OTOH men lose respect if they explain their feelings.
"Brescoll and Eric Uhlmann at Northwestern University recently completed three separate studies to explore a phenomenon that may be all-too-familiar to women like New York Senator Hillary Clinton: People accept and even reward men who get angry but view women who lose their temper as less competent "

I totally agree w/ the article
I get in trouble every time I make the slightest angry gesture, meanwhile men who continually are rude, angry, lash out, etc. get promoted to the highest positions.
No.
Two words: Howard Dean.
Technically...
Dean was still engaged in the interview process. And I don't think there's any benefit to throwing a wobbly before you get the job.
Counterexample: the president of France recently told a man to get stuffed (loosely translated) for not liking his policies. While it was news (here, and in the UK, anyway) there wasn't any real note of chastisement in the reportage. It was just a thing that happened.

The only difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is none.
I place the Howard Dean
I place the Howard Dean incident under a different phenomenon. IMHO it was more of fallen pop star event. The unwashed masses do love to point and laugh at anyone who's fame and fortune has come too far, too fast. And the more people that jump in, the more momentum the whole train wreck gains. This happens to boy bands all the goddamn time. Dean never got angry anyway, he just made the mistake of being dorky for a second in public.
Not that I'm a cynic. ;)
well
Dean's temper was a talking point well before the famous shout:
"Howard Dean's temper is no secret here in his home state. He has called political opponents 'boneheads' and said they're 'in la-la land.' He's told lawmakers that he would like to see them lose their jobs. One longtime adversary wonders whether he's up to tasks that require tact, such as international diplomacy."
And there's plenty of other stories about it back then as well.

Yeah I'm thinking either I missed a story or only saw part of a clip or something.
