Depending on who you mean with "we" I definitely agree.
...and fails at doing so, if I may add. Male-pattern aggression is simply more obvious because it's in your face physical while female-pattern is psychological, always ensuring plausible deniability.
Women favour low-risk engagement, passive aggressiveness over overt aggressiveness. Thus you see emotional manipulation used way more often, one approach being self-victim-framing, and for that the narrative of "oh women are so delicate and emotional they have to be protected no matter what they do" fits the bill. Female viciousness is beautiful but I very much prefer it in the "never start a fight, but always finish it" version. Relevant symphonic metal. Also if you're trying it with me you're getting tickled into submission.
