Speaking to a trainee doctor a few weeks ago who is scarily like me when I was a trainee - we both discussed having been labelled #aggressive at various points as men in the same scenario have been labelled #assertive
I looked up what they mean; aggressive according to the Cambridge English Dictionary is “behaving in an angry and violent way towards another person” & the more positive “assertive” is someone who “behaves confidently and is not frightened to say what they want or believe”.
So why is that women are more likely to be called aggressive rather than assertive ?
Probably as Women are expected to be warmer and more nurturing but they are also expected to demonstrate competence and be tough when they need to, without compromising

No #sane man would live with a #ViolenceProne, #PhysicallyAbusive #woman, with a #Femdom, #Gynarchy based ideology, who's built like a #tank and #ScaresTheShit out of every man she encounters!
So whoever you are & wherever you are, your life must be lonely.
Please come to me!

Because, while no #sane man would want you, this clearly bonkers chap longs for an #assertive, #giantess of a #woman, with #MusclesOfSteel, who can make any fan of #NamioHarukawa's art work so week at the knees, he would virtually pine away with longing for her!
I know that, if I lived in such an #AbusiveRelationship, I'd want to #escape.
However, I don't live in an #abusive #relationship & I have the luxury of longing for a #powerful, #violent, #dominant & #controlling #woman who wants to #TotallyEnslave me, from whom #ThereIsNoEscape!
