....toward them (women).
Everyone is aggressive sometimes. In any group of people, some are naturally going to be more dominant and some are naturally going to be more passive. That's got nothing to do with gender. It's tondo with personality.
Men don't own assertiveness, aggressiveness, or dominance.
So no. Nobody's trying to "take" those things from men or "strip men of all masculinity".
We'd like you to stop using those "madculine" attributes as a cudgel against us.
Most especially when you don't actually possess said attributes and you're just up on our faces, disturbing our peace, fronting.
