I believe you are unable to comprehend this
because as a gay you are guided by emotion as opposed to logic.

I disagree completely. One doesn't have to be aggressive to assert
one's
rights. I believe you're unable to comprehend this because you are
just
plain stupid.

Again you fail to grasp the basic fact that without an aggressive
attitude... you cannot be assertive. Assertiveness is merely a
symptom of
an aggressive nature, as is being competitive. Aggression does not
have to
involve physical violence. I believe you are unable to comprehend
this
because as a female you are guided by emotion as opposed to logic.

Assertiveness works well in the competitive field of business
whereas
aggressiveness will usually land you on the unemployment
lines...aggressive people generally rise fast in their
professions and
then tank out early whereas the consistently assertive attain
their goals
in a non-threatening manner and hold their positions or continue
to
rise....

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?
