I believe it is indeed that you do not comprehend.... or make erroneous
assumptions regarding male aggression. In the average male... aggressiveness
is controlled. To submit that a competitive nature is not required in a
modern society is illogical. Even the few women in a position of power show
an extremely heightened sense of aggressiveness and a competitive nature.
Enlightenment has nothing to do with it.

It's not that we don't comprehend..it's that we reject that as anything
other than what it is....uncontrolled testosterone...it worked for cavemen
because that's the physical reality they lived in but the idea of man
(gender, not species) as hunter/gatherer in an enlightened society is an
anachronism...

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?
