@Cupcake said in RL Anger:

But I do have a growing irk for infantilizing monikers in general these days. I'm reading a series of books in which there are several strong women with different focuses; but reading, for example, the bad-ass mercenary's lover calling her "kitten" makes me want her to slap him.

If you like short horror fiction, you may appreciate this. It is probably my favorite short story (which would doubtless terrify anyone familiar with it), but it very much touches on that particular point and rather brilliantly. Is Clive Barker, so be aware of gore/sex factor as high.
