Isn’t banning bossy kind of bossy?

Bossy simply means ‘like a boss’. What’s wrong with that? Is the aim to have no more bosses?

And then on the video, Beyonce Knowles says she is the boss. So what’s up with that?

I’m not sure I follow any of this. Are teenage girls really afraid of being called bossy? And this makes them not aspire to leadership roles in school, student council, extra curricular activities, etc? Is this really true??

Let’s make a deal. We’ll stop using “bossy”, if we can call them a flaming b**ch, b/c, that’s really what we’re thinking.

From what I understand, teenage girls are afraid of being called bossy, so they don’t want to have leadership roles. And this carries over into adulthood, per this bossy campaign. So it is to help the self esteem of young girls, apparently.
