[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I married into a family of Ohio Christians who are Midwestern nice. It seemed so wonderful at first compared to my family of outward dysfunction. I’ve learned over time that what I thought was impeccable manners is actually repression. The women in particular are infantilized simpletons. I don’t have any advice, just that I understand. [/quote]

Same - the midwestern nice is taking expression of emotion as complaining. No thanks. [/quote]

Yes! Yes! I worked with a woman like this! It was her and her team's JOB to review something and then during the meeting, discuss her team's findings. They said everything was good. Smiles all around. Then after the others left, she said, "Well, I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but this is wrong, that's wrong, " etc

Niceness is toxic. It's not to be confused with kindness. Letting some one know there's an issue is kindness. [/quote]

Dp. Women can't win.  Either they are "angry" "bossy" or "aggressive" or too passive nice or toxic[/quote]

Yes, saying what mean and meaning what you say is b1tchy to some people who are not used to being direct.[/quote]Well, that's true, but a man in this situation would be expected to accept being called an a$$h01e[/quote]
