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.

Ban Bossy is about addressing Clinton focus group findings.

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.

Overcoming adversity is what builds character...even overcoming that horrible adversity of being called bossy.

Oh, the huge manatee!

FTA:"Tell the women of the Middle East or North Africa about the pressing need to ban the word bossy and they’ll tell you some interesting stories about rampant female circumcisions, beatings, and honor killings that will make your skin crawl."
Yes, a true feminist who understands the priorities, Ayaan Hirsi Ali can tell you all about it. Besides, nothing says BOSSY like trying to ban a word just because you don't like it.

Personally, I like being bossy. That’s how I got elected Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Being bossy is underrated. :)

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.

One of the last people we should be encouraging our daughters to pattern their lives, thoughts, actions, and attitudes after is her.

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.

Regards,

What if they’re bossy?

I recently had to tell a woman at work who was offended by something I said, and who told me I can’t say it around her, that I don’t know where she got the idea that she could tell me what I can and can’t say. In fact, she doesn’t have that authority.

See, she was bossy. And that should be discouraged.

"....her "Lean In" organization and the Girl Scouts of America have teamed up with various celebrities to ban the use of the word 'bossy'."

And so many folks think that it's only the Boy Scouts which has been infiltrated.....
