- This is very interesting. On the one hand, in other articles, you
- extoll the virtues of the traditionally aggressive man, definitely
- neither low-key nor low-dominance. Now, you suggest that this sort of
- man is likely to be violent to women and should therefore be avoided by
- them. Does this mean that you do not consider a strong likelihood of
- violence to be a negative feature? Or is it just outweighed by the
- social advantages of trampling everyone in your path?
-
- Since you advocate the aggressive style, I am assuming that you use it
- yourself. Do you therefore think that no women should date you? Are
- you likely to become violent with a woman who is insufficiently
- subservient?
