In a futile attempt to be fair... what could she do? Give him his own HIV?
Well, we've had our daily dose of an unknown woman in an underdeveloped country being stupid, how about a whole bunch of seemingly educated and respected women from the First World spouting A Grade nonsense.
http://banbossy.com/QuoteWhen a little boy asserts himself, he's called a "leader." Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded "bossy." Words like bossy send a message: don't raise your hand or speak up. By middle school, girls are less interested in leading than boys—a trend that continues into adulthood. Together we can encourage girls to lead.
Pledge to Ban Bossy.
A lot of female celebrities are jumping onto this little band wagon. All I can really say to this is if a womans potential in life is held back by a single word, then they weren't exactly leader material. Besides, even if this stupidity were true (Hint: It's not), what they suggest wouldn't even be close to a solution. There's more ways to hold down a future business leader then simply calling them a bossy boots, so banning the word, which totally shits on our right to freedom of speech, is not going to do anything to stop little boys from keeping little girls down.
Let's say they ban the word Bossy. Now it is illegal to call a girl Bossy. Guess what happens? They get called Naggers. So, guess ya gotta ban the word Nagger now, huh? Oh, you've banned all the conventional words? Well we can use other words. Better ban Crone and Dutchess, because those pretty much mean 'bossy woman' now. Well, ya banned all the repurposed words, so guess what? Now you're a Hashtagger.
This is a very poorly chosen battle for a non existent war.
