Little Miss Bossy

I find it interesting to note that women, when in charge, are referred to as "bossy." When a man is in charge, he's "The Boss."

I've never heard of a "bossy man."

I'm a director in theatre and I have started my own company. To that, some guy on match.com responded: "I bet it's really hot when you get all bossy."

Our language is slanted so that when women defy our roles as submissive or lovely and passive and become leaders, we are a problem.

I'd like to change that.

Just call me "Boss."

No need to make it an adjective. :)
