There is no assertive male tag to begin with and by default people assume men lead.

It's like wanting "maledom" when men are obviously the dominant party in most romantic or sexual interactions, it doesn't need a tag.

Maybe they’re confusing it with the autosuggestions in the search bar. Regardless, I do think there’s merit in undoing the alias. “Assertive” doesn’t automatically bring women to mind, so I can see people trying to use it for assertive men and mistagging the post as a result. But how often does that actually happen?
