There is a very big, and very wrong, conflation on this thread between violence and anger. Hitting a table is an expression of violence, not anger. Anger is an emotion. Violence is an act.

There should be no, and I categorically will object, to those who say that *anyone* should toughen up and tolerate anger that is expressed as violence. It is not acceptable.
