Apropos of bossy women – a friend of mine was telling me that her husband told her he’d just seen a programme on T.V. about alpha males and he said “I’d like to be the alpha male in this family, if it’s alright with you.”
She replied, “Sorry, dear. That position has already been taken.”
And there you have it.

Shouldn’t they ban the Synonymous “bitch” while they’re at it? Don’t they always called the bossy girls/women bitch and bitchy too?

What the hell is ‘lean in”? Talk about contrived. At least pick something that is not an exercise maneuver.

I had to Google like woman possessed to understand any of this. Isn’t the act of banning a word, any word, bossy in itself?
I’ll rather stay stupid and ignorant and never learn what “lean in” means. At least I’m not bossy or empowered.

I thought the idea was that “bossy” is an insult when describing female people, but the same behaviors are lauded as leadership when people with penises are doing the bossing. That’s true in my experience, and merits some thought and attention.

I’ve listened to SStamberg talk, and I still don’t know wtf she means by “lean in.” Do you lean in before you spring forward? Or after you fall back? The words make no sense! Therefore she is not the boss of my language choices.

In the immortal words of Kelis:

I think we should all lean in AND out more often…but only when dancing with t-rex arms.
