Assertive = yes, but Aggressive definitely NO NO NO.

(From Wikipedia):
As a communication style and strategy, assertiveness is distinguished from aggression and passivity. How people deal with personal boundaries; their own and those of other people, helps to distinguish between these three concepts. Passive communicators do not defend their own personal boundaries and thus allow aggressive people to harm or otherwise unduly influence them. They are also typically not likely to risk trying to influence anyone else. Aggressive people do not respect the personal boundaries of others and thus are liable to harm others while trying to influence them. A person communicates assertively by not being afraid to speak his or her mind or trying to influence others, but doing so in a way that respects the personal boundaries of others. They are also willing to defend themselves against aggressive incursions.

The first thought that came to mind was why a man would have to be aggressive to be assertive being that they are two completely different personality traits and I was going to comment but hunnybunnylove explained it better than I could have hoped.

Thanks! ! ! !
