Yeah. OTOH, when men express emotions of dominance and aggressiveness, they're *castigated* because-a it. "Toxic masculinity." You ever heard-a "toxic femininity?" I haven't.
And the caring emotions women are famous for are sometimes DISrespected in a man. But not always, tho, so there is that.

Actual metrics in double-blind and peer-reviewed studies show that women are every bit as aggressive as men on average, and men are every bit as social as women. I didn't believe it either but the methods were open for stringent review.
One observation most consistent across decades in debates both F2F and in print: women seem much more inclined to treat disagreement, however polite, as attack.
That's interesting. And it doesn't surprise me how people treat disagreements different.
But that implies, AFAIK, that expression of aggressiveness amongst females is suppressed by social constructs, right? You're not saying when generally *express* aggressiveness as much as men, in these peer-reviewed studies.
Still makes me wonder why I've never heard-a toxic femininity.
