What is the difference between a girl being called "bossy" for being assertive and a boy being called "weak", "gay", "pussy", or "sissy" for showing kindness and gentleness? Why does only the former deserve attention?

No! This! Is! Feminism!

"Women are strong and independent! Anything men can do, they can do too! But don't call them bossy or else they'll crumble." "Bossy" is almost a compliment compared to "deadbeat", "dick", "bastard", or anything else men can get called.

oh no cretler why

From what I can tell, a certain someone dug in the wrong direction and landed in Veez territory.

Oh, fuck me. No one is arguing that! No one! The whole argument is that girls are being discouraged from being assertive. I don't think biotruths are the answer here. And there's the problem. You're under the assumption that any women who takes a leadership role is bossy. It should be noted that girls and boys can't succeed if their self-esteem is damaged at a young age. It just so happens that the word bossy is more commonly used towards girls than boys. P.S: Do you prefer cargo shorts, or blood-stained cargo shorts? Maybe later. You are if you're making special rules for them because you believe they can't succeed without them. They do have better vocal and multitasking abilities for a reason you know. I'm not, you are under the assumption all girls are oppressed leaders. If someone was a strong leader in the making being called bossy wouldn't stop them. It would only stop the socially obsessed bossy girls. The "Everyone gets a trophy" mentality doesn't encourage people to succede, it just makes them entitled. Banning a word because you need a scapegoat is never right. Don't really like cargo-shorts, but I guess bloodless ones are probably better.

The point is: the word bossy is often associated with women more than it does with men. Again, the problem stems from childhood, where society plays a heavy role in shaping the character of a person, at least, that's how I view it. How are women supposed to lead if they are consistently discouraged and berated for it at a young age? You're exaggerating the point that they're trying to make. They're not saying that women who are called bossy will suddenly break down, go into a state of deep depression, and watch Jerry Springer while eating ice cream out of the tub. The point they're trying to make is that girls are constantly discouraged and dismissed with the word 'bossy' for daring to be assertive. Maybe women are more bossy then men. I'd say blame the princess attitude parents program their daughters with. Who isn't discouraged and berated from a young age? If they can't take criticism as a kid, they won't when they're an adult. Being a leader means sacrificing being liked, and if you care more about popularity than leadership, it sucks to be you. You can't have your cake and eat it too. They're saying girls are too weak to handle being called bossy, so we have to make special rules for them. That's pretty sexist if you ask me.

Dammit, steam crapped itself anyways Cell, I rewrote my bind to suit your needs alias "quick_dispensor""qb0" alias "quick_sentry""qb3" alias "quick_enter""qb1" alias "quick_exit""qb2" alias "qb0" "build 0 0; alias quick_dispensor qd0" alias "qb3" "build 2 0; alias quick_sentry qd3" alias "qb1" "build 1 0; alias quick_enter qd1" alias "qb2" "build 1 1; alias quick_exit qd2" alias "qd0" "destroy 0 0; alias quick_dispensor qb0" alias "qd3" "destroy 2 0; alias quick_sentry qb3" alias "qd1" "destroy 1 0; alias quick_enter qb1" alias "qd2" "destroy 1 1; alias quick_exit qb2" alias "desall""qd0; qd3; qd1; qd2" bind f1 quick_sentry; bind f2 quick_dispensor; bind f3 quick_enter; bind f4 quick_exit; bind f5 desall" This binds f1 to f4 to buildings and doubletaps to destroys. f5 destroys all for shits n giggles, but you can remove that by simply deleting "bind f5 desall"

No! This! Is! Feminism! Hard to tell the difference really.

Its hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally. What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? Einstein, Newton, and Pascal was playing a game of hide and seek, it was Einsteins turn to be it, so he closes his eyes and counts to 10. Pascal hides, but Newton simply drew a square on the ground and stood in the center. When he reached to, Einstein shouted "Ready or not, here I come!", he turns around and immediately spots Newton. "HA, I found you!" said Einstein . Newton smiled and said "You didn't find me, you found a Newton over a square meter, you found Pascal!"

Is that a good or a bad thing?   ALSO:  

It depends on the cute:sexy ratio Unrelated: [spoiler2][/spoiler2]

A woman is shopping at a grocery store. She picks up a half gallon of skim milk, 2 loaves of wheat bread, one dozen organic eggs, and some carrots. She goes to the checkout line. "You must be single." the clerk says. Amazed at how the clerk found out, the woman asks, "Yes I am. How could you tell?". "Because you're ugly".

what do you call a snobbish criminal going down the stairs?
