I've been redpilled for a good while, but this is something I still haven't been able to fully understand. As I jusr started reading When I Say No I Feel Guilty, this doubt resurfaced again.

It is often said here that passive aggression is a bad way to communicate: it is the opposite of manly and it's a poor way of getting what you want. So far, so good.

What I struggle in understanding is how is soft nexting and all the red pill ways of managing women not passive aggressive? When a girl does not give us what we want, we grin, give her a kiss on the forehead, leave and then ghost her for a couple of days. We do not communicate openly what upsets us, we just take action to withdraw (commitment, sex or whatever).

How is this any different than passive aggression? I have no issue with this, indeed I believe it's crazy effective. Just wondering if I'm missing something though.
