The Masculine Energy, Need It to Speak One's Truth

The masculine energy is actually the embodiment of the assertiveness, need it to speak one's truth. And I want to contrast assertiveness with aggression. A lot of us didn't have a model of a masculine energy in our earliest relationships. We either try to get our needs met passive aggressively by dropping clues or saying snarky comments. If we don't feel safe and secure having our needs consistently met, if that doesn't happen, we lack safety.
