rolanniWomen under 30 may be referred to as "snippy" by Persons Seeking to Establish Moral Authority Over Them in the Workplace.
Women over 30 in similar situations may be trivialized as "angry."
In deference to their grey hairs and years on this planet, women who are 50 years old and over ought to be accorded the adjective "bitchy."
Also? Come into my office in high dudgeon, lie to me, talk to me like I'm a particularly slow six-year-old, and start taking binders off of the shelves? You bet I'm going to be bitchy.
