Hormonally, males have a greater capacity for aggression overall, but these are not interchangeable temperaments that fall under masculinity. There is calm assertiveness which is not the least bit aggressive in nature. Assertion is not an act of aggression.
Passivity is a state of inertia. Receptivity is not, and neither is submission.

As a Dom yourself, I sincerely hope that you would know the difference between being Dominant and acting domineering.

Let me stop you right there, my claim is not that aggressive=assertive. My claim is that there's more than one trait which gets stereotyped to the male gender.
