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.

You're actually not answering her. You're simply being dismissive which tends to be what you do because she pointed out the blaring flaw in the study which states the article itself is very "generalized".

Which statement are we talking here?

This for instance is not me being dismissive:

That's not actually quite what they're saying.

This is me pointing out that an inaccurate and hyperbolic paraphrasing of the article has lead to a statement which does not follow from an accurate paraphrasing of the article.
