Sheryl Sandberg Launches 'Ban Bossy' Campaign to Empower Girls to Lead

All this campaign does is to prove as women, we need the PC police to monitor every word that is said to us. This offends me to no end, and it takes a LOT to offend me

It offended me like these:

V ote like your lady parts depend on it.

and



... because voting is totally like a girl losing her virginity.

And these would have offended me if Romney had run them.

Well , at Least we Guys Still Have Bitchy left......

I totally get where they are coming from with this. My children are both in school, and to me this seems something that's aimed at our kids. Young girls are conditioned by society to believe certain things and act a certain way. It's so deeply ingrained most people don't even know they're doing it.
It's all good if it makes even one parent stop from using the word when another would suit better.

Good lord...first dodge ball and now the word bossy? We can't and probably shouldn't protect them from everything. Wanting to and even trying to is probably a natural instinct, but in the end all that does is raise a bunch of prissies who expect a pat on the back or a ninth place trophy for everything they do and the road paved with rose petals for them. The world isn't like that and probably won't ever be (unless we get to the point where we medicate anyone with half a backbone).
