When they sentence Latinas/Chicanas to Anger Management

When Institutions of psychiatry, law enforcement or man sentence Latinas/Chicanas to anger management what they are really saying is:

Shut up, 
you are too Loud
Too Much
Silence your Voice
Chicanita-
Eres muy Chingona
Malcreada
Maramacha
Jota
Man-Eater
Malinche
You should be home 
in the kitchen with
your babies or having
babies if you don't have 
any or apologizing
crying if you don't 
know how to make tortillas
penance, on your knees
pray for forgiveness
Be more Mary Like
Docile, doormat-
Don't speak Detractor
Trader
Malintzen
And definitely don't
talk Back or 
Defend yourselves
Dont 
Fight Back
