Well, our experiences have been different. I have not run across passive aggressive behavior in men, but quite a bit in females. All men I came across, would have acted /or acted, in situations very actively aggressive, non a hint a passive aggression could be seen.
But I have to say that I worked mostly with females, and tried to avoid the exposure to men, because this open aggression always bothered me, and I did not know how to properly react to it!
