Relational Aggression is a theory of social psychology. I believe that whenever it is not acceptable or ALLOWABLE for the human animal to attend to their aggressions openly as masculine people more often do (via threats, intimidation, posturing or acts of socially condoned violence) that she or he will attend to them in a relational way. So not only do we see these behaviors in the culture of certain gay males, but also in the business/organizational culture.
I simply didn't want to go into all of that as it isn't relative to the feminine people on the whole and how women and girls are primarily socialized.

I didn't think anything negative, it just jumped out at me.
I'm familiar with that theory, although I probably need to brush up on it.
I would call it into question when applied to the queer community.
Come to Austin for coffee and we'll debate, yes?
