NO! Kitty.... You are confusing aggressiveness and assertiveness.... which
is understandable. I will repeat myself despite the fact I know you are not
capable of understanding the logic..... You cannot be assertive without
being aggressive.

Let's take the scenario you utilized.... you assume that aggression
requires physical intervention. It does not! Aggression between males has a
multi-tiered level.... none of which can be comprehended by females. The
level of aggressive behaviour is dependant on the situation. This is
comprehended by even the youngest of our gender.

An assertive person makes their point by showing you the hole in the
ground; an aggressive person puts you in the hole in the ground.

You require aggressiveness to be assertive.... the very act of asserting
yourself, places others as either your equal or your subordinate....
despite what they may have perceived. This situation is not attained by
passive compliance, nor neutral indifference.

You may indeed suggest it...... but I'd sooner you take your own
advise.

Well, may I suggest you rise above your base animal instinct and
start using the tools that were given you to negotiate and walk away
from aggression?
