Okay, so I guess we just stick with the other “B” word for these “ladies” then right?

My message is: Be Bossy.

Sorry, Michelle ... you're raising your little girl to be a bitch that nobody will want to work with. If you don't know the difference between leadership and bossiness I suggest that you learn. Soon.

These women need to get a life,they look silly.If I have a deadline and I’m in charge-get it done.I am bossy.I spoke to a young man who was a teen when I worked with him and other teens.We spoke a few days ago about a song he wants to produce.When he was a teen he said he was in shock when he first worked with me.I ordered people around,stopped production,took people off the set if they wouldn’t listen.It’s not personal,get it done or get out of the way.He wishes I was closer to him so I could take charge.:)Someone has to be in charge.

Ahem...I wonder if some of you really read the piece...conservatives, especially women, sound bossy just for arguing a point...wimpy women don’t generally succeed ... that is I believe Malkins point...and...Learn to “boss yourself”

My second grade teacher adapted some of the "progressive" ideas of John Dewey & Co., so we did a lot of group projects. Each group had a chairman, but a young kid who is suddenly given power over others is often high-handed, imperious and overbearing, as was the case in this class. In response, the teacher wrote on the board, "Chairmen, don't be too bossy."

I stay away from bossy arrogant women as it is a sign of their ignorance and hatred of that which is right.

You’re probably not going to get anywhere by being a doormat.

Bossy can mean different things. If you have the authority, instructing someone to do something is not being bossy.

A study some years ago revealed female bosses are more dictatorial & inflexible than males. Unsurprisingly, men and women overwhelmingly prefer males bosses.

Shove that up your pantsuit, Hellery.

i have worked for a couple of people whom i would follow to the ends of the earth... they were go-getters, doers, leaders, high achievers... and neither were what i would call bossy... and they were not pushovers... they had high expectations, and their employees had better meet those expectations... my co-workers and i did some exceptional work under both of those leaders...

wimpy women don’t generally succeed

just because one is not bossy does not mean that person is wimpy... it does not have to be one or the other...

I read the Michelle Malkin column at the head of this thread. You?

I read it again. I stand by my comments.

I frequently agree with Mizz Malkin's political opinions.

I seriously doubt that I would like her personally. I seriously doubt that I would like working with or for her, and I suspect that if she worked for me I'd be fielding a lot of complaints about her conduct. Since she works for herself, more or less, and is not my neighbor ... it's not a real problem to me.

I daresay that for some, a bossy woman is an excuse for said bossy woman to receive a good solid slap upside the head.

(It’s not MY philosophy...just sayin’.)
