Editing Anger (section)

=====Women=====
Scholars posted that females were seen by authors in the Middle Ages to be more phlegmatic (cold and wet) than males, meaning females were more sedentary and passive than males.<ref name="In the Garden of Evil"/> Women's passive nature appeared "natural" due to their lack of power when compared to men. Aristotle identified traits he believed women shared: female, feminine, passive, focused on matter, inactive, and inferior. Thus medieval women were supposed to act submissively toward men and relinquish control to their husbands.<ref name="In the Garden of Evil"/> [[Hildegard of Bingen]] believed women were fully capable of anger. While most women were phlegmatic, individual women under certain circumstances could also be choleric.
