I did instantly. Trying too hard to be macho, and the face.

OT

Why are women disguised as men always furious onscreen, tho? I think it would be a fun thing to try passing (if consequences weren't severe as they are in some cultures, see Islamic places). Surely more than anger is required to "being" male.

I'm not trans, but I've spent most of my youth thinking about this kind of thing.

It's the only chance a lot of women get to express anger without getting smacked down hard for it. Passing is a secondary concern.

Maybe if they're a cis woman they *are* furious that they have to pass as male to do their job. I mean, I'm not super-attached to my gender but to have to actively pretend to be another gender would be a lot of work.

Interesting and very good point!

I've been meaning to read some more on this subject, i.e. real life women who had to "pass" in order to do something and still do in some places in the world. There's always some anger with unfair things like this.

At the same time, it's started to seem like visual shorthand and lazy storytelling on the big/small screen when anytime a woman is trying to pass as a man she's overly aggressive and constantly angry.

nayrt

I don't think it's that anger = mal,e so much as women aren't allowed to be angry, therefore anger ≠ female.
