I remember sort of having this conversation, and trying to work out the difference in my head--I remember being taught as a kid (both as a girl and simply as a child in my family) that anger was useless and only got in the way, and therefore should be stifled. And then I tripped over "anger is a legitimate and useful response" when I started in on GWS, and I've ended up confused.
I think I still am confused, a little, but I'm okay with that 'cause I'm working it out. But I really liked reading this, because I think it set a few more things in my head straight.
