I'm Southern (well, Marylander, but it's south of the line) and overt dominance is absolutely weakness and insecurity. Kindness isn't so much a sign of authority, but it is a sign that you don't need to show me anything, it's just a sign that you know who you are and you're chill with it, regardless of where that falls relative to me.
