I disagree. Although there might be situations where I would personally chose passive aggression over being honest about peoples mistakes, I would strongly prefer it if people told me I screwed up instead of gently nudging me in the "right way of thinking". I can make my own mind about what is the right way, thank you very much, If I had missed something important and made a mistake i need to know about it. I trust others to do so as well.
- kls 15y agoThere is nothing passive aggressive about realizing the futility is arguing with a certain segment of men (or women for that matter) unless your goal is just to argue. If ones ambition is to be persuasive one must confront the situation understanding the shortcomings of the other person, if the intention is not to be persuasive then what is the use in even engaging.
- pavelludiq 15y agoThe original quote was about assuming its futile from the start. "Don't argue with men"! not "Don't argue with men when you're convinced its futile". This sort of passivity pisses me off. Assholes must be called out. I'm an asshole sometimes and if it wasn't for the people who told me my behavior was unacceptable I would still be an asshole. Thank you all who've been brave enough to teach me a lesson. I believe most people are like me and will learn if given the chance. Difficult and futile are very different things in my world.
