'A man is boss, a woman is bossy'.
Some women are drawing attention to the way the word 'bossy' is being applied to women who are natural leaders/efficient/assertive/proactive types. They see calling a woman bossy as an attempt to control their behaviour and make them know their place.
I can relate to this. I am fairly proactive by nature and I like to get things done. However, DH is laid back and rarely instigates our little ventures. He can leave a job half done (but on his list) for months.
So I try to chivvy him along (just a little bit).
I am called bossy.
