This word refers to any nagging or irritable woman and if I
was not in some desperate need to find a word starting with x, I would never
have found it in my dictionary. Whenever I meet a new male person, whether they
are a colleague or a possible new friend, they always ask me what kind of woman
I am. Whether I was just like all the others or whether I was different. I
think most men have had a run in with a woman with Xanthippe like qualities and
many times they possibly messed with that particular woman on the wrong day. But
just for the record, not all women are like that. We as woman have to lift our
opinions and be heard, but not to the point where the males in our lives want
to strangle us. I know it is hard, but for the sake of keeping the peace and
all that…
