Passive Aggression

[bcoop]

Is this a trait women are born with, or is it a learned behavior? Discuss.

Is this a passive aggressive stab at a woman that was passive aggressive to you?

[Country cracker]

All women are fucked in the head.

[Ruffdaddy]

Probably because they're less physically dominant, and this not as confrontational until it hits a really low point.

Corporate America has turned us ALL into passive aggressive people.

There's only one way to respond to passive aggression. And it's with passive aggression.

I have a sibling that tries to be passive aggressive, I counter by being overtly aggressive and it works out well.

Most men are that way. I've only come across a handful of passive aggressive males. JKD being one of them. But on the flip side, it seems nearly all women are extremely passive aggressive. And when called on it, they are like "What, I didn't mean that, I meant exactly what I said" which is bullshit, because the comments you call them on are always charged with misinformed, misguided, misdirected nonsense and it's blatantly obvious to anyone with a brain and a clue.

That's bullshit. You can't read minds and don't know what we're thinking 90% of the time even when we TELL you (because you-not you specifically, but 'men', never listen). I will say or do things that honestly have no passive aggressiveness intended, but after re-reading or Craig asking me about it, I realize it could be interpreted that way.

I think it depends on a person's characteristics and mannerisms. I'm extremely ADHD, have a lot going on in life with a chronically ill child, job, grad school, etc, so sometimes when something comes out of my mouth, it's because I'm in a hurry and just spit it out without thinking about how it sounds. But anyone who knows me, knows that I don't have a filter and I don't think much before I speak.
