What could be more bossy than big government and liberals?
I find it hard to believe that teenage girls are afraid of being called bossy.
I also find it hard to believe that being afraid of being called bossy keeps girls from going for leacership roles.
Anybody, whether male, female, or the 50 plus genders defined by Facebook, anybody in leadership or management has to be able to absorb criticism, and is not going to lose sleep over what somebody else says about them.
BAN BANS!
Actually, I’ve always thought of the leftist feminist movement as legalized nagging. Call it equality! Call it bossy! It is all the same. Women want the right to nag legally. Men assert, lead, boss around. Most women, especially the feminists, love to nag under the guise of assertiveness and bossiness. Nothing has changed.
Pushy little boys don’t generally get called bossy. They get punched in the nose.
Sheryl Sandberg sounds like she could be bossy if she wanted to.
Hillary comes across as shrill and abrasive and this campaign is intended to put those who say so on the defensive.
There is a really huge difference between leadership and being bossy. While some people are natural leaders, for most it is a learned experience, through a combination of observation, scholarship, and practice with evaluation.
Someone who is bossy, on the other hand, lacks leadership skills; assumes that a position of authority automatically conveys the ability to lead, and a responsibility in others, not just to follow, but to “obey” without question; and often injects prejudice, bias, favoritism, and unethical behavior on their part against subordinates.
Captain Bligh, of the HMS Bounty, was both bossy and a bad leader. On one hand, he craved for his crew to have strict discipline; but on the other, he wanted his crew to ‘like’ him. This led to his being excessively cruel and petty in one minute, then excessively generous and friendly the next, without warning.
It was more than his crew could bear. So they mutinied.
As far as girls go, the advice to them should be the same as it is for boys. Observe leadership as such, read up on how to be a good leader. Communicate what you want clearly and succinctly. Don’t be afraid to countermand a bad order. Include rules and parameters to your orders. Solicit the advice of those who are good leaders and have been leading for a long time. And remember, the followers make the leader, not the other way around.
No brain no pain.
Oh, the huge manatee!
Personally, I like being bossy. That’s how I got elected Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Being bossy is underrated. :)
Absolutely nothing. That’s the whole thing with liberals: They do not lead - They demand, and their demands are usually absolutely insane.
It their no such thing a being Bossy?...
Any we saying it does not exist!? That there is no such thing?
That all (or a particular chosen subset of all) have unlimited and unchecked approval to boss any and all other persons of our choosing around?
That the other person must accept your assuming boss status, to any level you choose?
How does that work? "Bossy" is a person assuming they have authority over others that has not been given or in excess of what has been given..
Ban the word it order to enable the act of certain people assuming excessive authority, they thing is there due, over others
Now who does that sound like?

(Dam I wish FR would enable an edit post feature)
I agree.
Remove “Bossy” and replace it with the more accurate “Ball Busting B!tch on Wheels.”
Ban bossy but they love to call each others “bitch,ho,and slut”
I’m a nurse and this female Dr came into the nurse station and made a comment about an order she said “what bitch wanted this?”
She was met with silence and stares.
Is her what?
Better:
She is one of the last people we should be encouraging our daughters to pattern their lives, thoughts, actions, and attitudes after.
Or, for those who don't like ending sentences with prepositions:
She is one of the last people after whom we should be encouraging our daughters to pattern their lives, thoughts, actions, and attitudes.
