"I think that Sandberg and Chávez are basically correct on the way the term is used for girls. The question they don't address, though, is whether boys deserve that praise. When is it good to be assertive, confident and opinionated? Are there some situations in which this behavior is just plain awful? Maybe the problem isn't just that we call women 'bossy' too much; maybe the problem is that we let men get away with behavior which we should call 'bossy,' or something worse."
